I don't have any photos to post because Flickr gives identifying information and Google Maps screenshots count against the 1000 photos for a non-Pro account. Someone else can go.
You can crop out the identifying information

I think he means identifying information about him, not the image.

No, I'm referring to the metadata that you can see when you view the Flickr page.

Take a screen shot, save it locally. Upload to postimages.org. No limits and no metadata.

That solves the metadata issue, but not the screenshot issue...

I guess I fail to see what the screenshot issue is if it isn't just space on your flickr account. This bypasses that, no?




Also, NY423?

My bad, misread and didn't connect that the screenshot issue was Flickr-related.

Did you get my guess of NY423?
Sorry I missed that, but I got it now. I should probably learn to read posts in their entirety  :)

Incorrect guesses:
2, 9L, 9N, 22, 26, 29, 32, 40, 50, 67, 94, 423

Saratoga County

Clue: 2 incorrect guesses have something in common with the correct route.

webny99

Goodness, we're running out of routes in Saratoga County...

NY 147?

How about NY9P?
Thank you for finally getting it!  :D
It is facing southbound just east of Saratoga National GC.
9L and 9N were the two routes the clue was referring to: suffixed routes of US-9.

That's what I figured. Since I know nothing about NY State Routes, I was hoping that was the case. :)

To the surprise of no one, I'll pick a Colorado route.

SH-72?

Let's see if I can come up with clever ways of saying no for this challenge.

Never Nederland?

(A stretch, I know.)

Incorrect guesses: CO72

Also, for the record, Colorado has a bunch of counties that only have 1 or 2 state routes, so instead of a county reveal, I might do a region reveal, if that's okay for everyone.

CO 14 before the Cameron Peak Fire?

That works, maybe the tourist regions from here? You might have better ideas, actually being from Colorado.

Maybe the official CDOT regions?

I like that idea.

As to CO14 above, no Poudre Canyon in sight.

SD Mapman

That works better than my idea!

CO 145?

Wow, nailed it! One of my prettiest drives. This stretch is southwest of Rico in Montezuma County.
Nice! I've been on 149 coming back from Alamosa and always wanted to take 145 (or the Million Dollar Highway... I liked the San Juans).

For the next one, have a South Dakota route:


If no one objects, I'll use the SDDOT maintenance "areas" (blue on this map) instead of counties since route density is kinda light out here.
