The Hunty Roads Thread

[Hunty2022]

Back in December, I created Hunty Roads, a website/blog that covers Virginia's Roads. The website is still incomplete, but I will try to make at least 3-4 pages a month. The route pages have a description of the route's path, and a "My Experiences" part at the bottom. I am thinking of adding more to the pages. I have been waiting to actually create the thread, so I can publish this alongside the biggest route page I've ever done: I-64.

This thread will have the new pages and updates. I would love feedback/suggestions.

Website home page:
https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com

I-64 page:
https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/2023/08/i-64.html

While this thread was waiting for I-64's page to be completed, I created a new Road Trips page, with 2 current road trips with their own mini-page there.

Hunty Roads has hit 2000 views! I have added a page for VA-90 to celebrate:

https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/2023/09/va-90.html



(The route that I did was selected by a number generator, from 1-895.)

[Hunty2022]

Another milestone! 3000 views! I have added 2 posts, for VA-5, and VA-175! I am thinking about adding a post for a Road Trip to the celebration.

VA-5 Page:

VA-175 Page:

As a result of me buying a new sign, I created a VA-388 page!

https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/2023/10/va-388.html

[Hunty2022]

I have created a VA-229 post and a VA-262 post, + a mini-page for 8/25/23.

VA-229:

I might also chase a goal to have posts for routes in every county in VA by 2024.

[Hunty2022]

2 posting days in a row! I have made 2 posts for 2 short routes in the state: VA-399 and VA-598! The two highest numbered routes I have made a post for.

VA-399:

VA-598:
https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/2023/10/va-598.html

I am one county closer to my 133 by 2024 goal! (Bland County)

[Hunty2022]

I have created a post for VA-38. I also added photos to the VA-20 & I-295 pages, and made some of my older posts to my modern standards:

I have created a post for US 501 (in VA only). That breaks a 9 post streak of only State Routes, with the last one being the I-64 post.

US 501:
https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/2023/11/us-501.html

US 501 has a diamond interchange with VA-126, followed by a cloverleaf interchange with Business US 460.

VA 126 is actually on the Eastern Shore.  Graves Mill Rd being marked with a route number seems to be a Google Maps error.

According to these 40 pages, this post is my 1,000th post as an AARoads Forum member! I have been on the forum since April of 2022, and have finally hit the 1,000 mark, with many more posts to come!

To celebrate my posts milestone, I have (already) made a mini-page for my trip yesterday to Shenandoah National Park:
https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/p/november-11-2023-skyline-drive-10-years.html


And since the forum went down and "removed" two of my posts, I now add 2 posts to the post count to the left. This could be my 998th post. Is there possibly a way to fix the error and add 2 posts to my count?

[Hunty2022]

I've got a fresh batch of Northern Neck State Route posts from VA-201 to VA-205! I already have a page for VA-200. I have also tied my record for most posts in a single day! (Dec. 13, 2022 is the other day with 5)

VA-201:

VA-205:
https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/2023/11/va-205.html

That knocks King George, Richmond and Westmoreland off the remaining counties. I also have a big page I'm making that will be public on the 27th.

[Hunty2022]

Happy 1 year anniversary of my first photographed road trip! Unfortunately, I have been too busy lately to create the big page in time, so it's getting pushed back to tomorrow another day this week.

This next post will be for a route I used during November 27, 2022.

[Hunty2022]

Happy 1 year anniversary of my December 10, 2022 Waynesboro Trip!! I have created a mini-page for the trip for the 1 year anniversary!

Here it is:
https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/p/december-10-2022-trip-to-waynesboro.html

The 1 year anniversary of Hunty Roads is on Tuesday, December 12. I will have numerous pages, including the one I've been delaying since November 22.

Congrats with a few comments.

US 522: 

Winchester:  I believe the signed northern end of US 17 is where US 50 leaves US 11.  Officially, I think you have it correct.

Front Royal:  VA 55 actually stays with US 340 south to South St, then turns east and actually crosses US 522.

I-664:  VA 164 is signed east-west.

Here's what was signed in the field a few weeks ago...

[Hunty2022]

The day is coming to an end, and all 10 posts have been made. You can see all 10 routes on reply #14. If you have been on the website today, and looked on the right, you may have seen a logo. That is the brand new Hunty Roads logo!

Here is the official reveal:


I have also updated the following pages to my modern standards:
I-66
I-581
VA-13
VA-151
VA-299

Once again, to end off this day, happy one year anniversary, Hunty Roads!

[Hunty2022]

I created a new mini-page for December 16, 2022 for its late 1 year anniversary:

https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/p/december-16-2022-shortest-trip-ever.html

[Hunty2022]

4000 website views!! For this, I have published 2 pages that were scheduled for tomorrow!

2023 was the first full year for Hunty Roads, and it has been amazing! I will post more often in 2024. Thank you for a good 2023!

[Hunty2022]

I have published my first post of 2024, after a New Year's break:

VA-224:
https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/2024/01/va-224.html

I might start trying some new stuff on the website.

[Hunty2022]

I am thinking about extending Hunty Roads into a 2nd state. This may happen in either in the next couple months, or when I'm done making all of the posts for the current Virginia Hunty Roads.

I have logo concepts for NC, MD, DE, NJ, and PA. My biggest issue with this would be that I've never been to the latter two, and I've only been on land in MD and DE once.

[Hunty2022]

I have published a new post on the website!

VA-107:
https://huntyroadsva.blogspot.com/2024/01/va-107.html

I may make 1-2 more to end off the month. If I do, I'll update this post with the links to the posts.

[Hunty2022]

Happy February! I'm gonna start making posts/pages more regularly this month, and I have started with one post already:
