A double: US 127 and its business route in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.

Reaching way back to a picture I or my mother took on a cross-country trip in 1985! But I'm counting it as mine in any case for the purposes of this thread. California 127 from I-15. August 25, 1985.

And the much less interesting New York 127 from the Hutchinson River Parkway a mere 9 years back. September 14, 2007.

Can't live in the northeast and not think of Massachusetts 128 first for this number. So here's a 3-in-1 for Massachusetts 128, taken on US 1 in Peabody. August 27, 2010.

But there's also a 128 in Rhode Island. This in Providence. April 26, 2014.

Then up to New Brunswick for my third entry. TCH 2. August 7, 2014.

UT 128:

Recently made this monochrome stencil US 66 sign for my Facebook cover photo out of a color picture I took at Cadiz Summit in January:

Someone correct me if that doesn't fit in with the rules on page 1. It didn't look like it was sideways but it is a little fringe given that the sign is painted on the road and is an edited photo, I'll remove it if it doesn't fit.

As long as it's actually on the road and you didn't Photoshop it in, no worries.

Gotcha, yeah they're very real out there in the Mojave. I guess the back story is that was the only way to prevent theft of the Historic US 66 signs. Mohave County in Arizona started to adopt the same thing recently with the Oatman Highway being repaved. I don't recall any of the Historic 66 signs that used to be around Oatman being present anymore. Oddly nobody seems to want the San Bernardino County Route 66 signs.

That makes sense.
