The "Hello Neighbor" state route marker challenge

[formulanone]

I know I have a TN 30 that I can play.

Did the rules change - 24 hours or 5 posts?

Tennessee Route 30:

We don't have that rule here.

VA 31

[Eth]

If we can keep it in the south for a little while, I can bring Georgia into the game at 34.

We might be able to pull off NC 32 >> SC 33 >> GA 34.  Be wary of states containing US33, they probably won't be playable for a state route 33.

Sorry about that...

VA 31 >> MD 32:

Sorry about that...

No worries!!  MD 32 >> PA 33

This is much better than whatever I suggested.  This might be our chance to get into New England--if we enter through New York, remember, we'll have to exit through New York as well.

PA 33 to NY 34.  Weedsport.  June 1, 2009.

PA 35 >> NY 36

[paulthemapguy]

NY 36 >> MA 37

I'm aware of a 38 in NY and VT.  (NH 38 will be hard to back out of)

MA 39 exists on the Cape, but I'm not sure if anyone has a picture.

On the other hand, we can't get into Maine and successfully back out until 86.

My first contribution to this thread, NY 38:

[TravelingBethelite]

NY 38 >> CT 39 (I am for once submitting a shield...oh well.)

[hotdogPi]

I forgot to mention: next available Rhode Island possibility is RI 78. (RI 51 and RI 77 are impossible to get to.)

[jbnv]

(RI 51 and RI 77 are impossible to get to.)

How is a state highway impossible to get to?

CT 50 and MA 50 do not exist. Same with 76.

There is no CT-50, CT-76, MA-50, or MA-76.  Hence, we cannot get to RI-51 or RI-77 in this game.

Connecticut -> New York 40:

Oh, you meant in the game, not in real life.

While y'all are up in that area, beware the upcoming US 44. Using CT 43, for instance, would result in a dead end.

We should be able to get to Illinois in seven moves easily enough, opening up the Midwest.  Most of these intersect Interstate highways, so there are bound to be pictures floating around:
NJ-41 | PA-42 | OH-43 | IN-44 | MI-45 | IN-46 | IL-47

From there, the surrounding 48s are fairly minor highways, but Iowa seems somewhat likely.

I would rather go NJ-41 | DE-42 | PA-43, as Delaware opportunities are fairly rare.

New York 40 to New Jersey 41, as requested.  Taken on New Jersey 42.  March 17, 2012.
