Central Kansas, 23 May,2001:

Some things have changed: US 50B in Ottawa was actually removed soon after this roadtrip, and now US 59 no longer goes through here. K-57 was truncated to K-4 near Dwight, so the K-57 sign at the K-4/K-177 junction is gone. The I-35/US 50 interchange has been completely altered, so there's no longer a left exit for US 50 West. I'm sure the Texaco station is either Shell or bp.

Real nice pictures. I've always liked Kansas route shields.

Is that Standard sign still around or did it get replaced by BP?

yep, lots of '57 spec interstate route markers in Hays.

please tell me that the old CITY 40 green sign still exists.  it dates back to about 1962, and I photographed it in Jan 2010 and I hope it is still there.

I took those pictures in August 2003. I was unaware of the "CITY 40" signs and do not have any pictures of them myself.

The two Standard Stations have long since been buzzsawed by bp, and K-274 was reverted to a county road.

Second Gallery coming up.

Second Half of the 2003 trip to Hays...



K-231 was turned back to Russell County and, ironically, I haven't gotten around to getting the EAST end of K-18 or, for that matter, K-9.
