I don't think I've seen such a post on here and if there is one I missed it. But on your most recent road trip what highways (U.S., Interstate, State Highways) did you travel on is what I'm getting at. You can include County Highways as well but Michigan doesn't have a great system of them and in my part of the state they don't exist.

Last night I took a trip to Mason, Michigan via Lansing and Flint from Saginaw. Traveled on M-58, I-675, I-75, I-475, I-69, M-52, M-13, US-127, I-496, M-36 and M-43. So 5 state highways, 5 Interstate highways and 1 US highway. This might be harder to do than I originally thought but I thought it'd be cool to see if anyone can remember every highway they were on.

^ What was of interest in Newark (if you don't mind me asking :))?

I have a co-worker from there, and have passed through there once or twice. By my standards, though, it is way out in the sticks, which is why I ask.

If the Audubon Pkwy had another segment further east, between Elizabethtown and Owensboro, the KY route would be much more competitive with the IN route using I-64...The drive thru KY was fun. Had never driven on any of the KY Parkways before that.

Those are goofy looking Cloverleaves, but with the history of the Toll Plazas, the design makes sense

Also got to drive the new segment of (not quite yet) I-265 between IN & KY

My dad lives there. I was picking him up along the way and we rode out together from there. Otherwise I'd have crossed the border near Ogdensburg and went down the 401. :)

I think our most recent trip was our trip to Florida for Christmas. I don't count day trips to our favorite winery because it's not far enough to be a "road trip" (it's in Linden, Virginia, about an hour from home).

With that said, we took the Auto Train both ways. We were primarily visiting relatives in Fort Myers but also went across to Pembroke Pines for a day to see other relatives, and on the way from the train to Fort Myers we visited a friend in Venice for lunch. The list below is not necessarily in order nor complete, especially as to county road numbers in Florida.

Virginia secondary route 613 (Fairfax County)
I-95 (brief concurrency with I-495)
Virginia secondary route 642 (Fairfax County)
FL-46
FL-429 (then-separated northern segment)
FL-429 (main segment, also brief concurrency with FL-414)
I-4
I-75
CR-765 (Jacaranda Boulevard in Venice)
US-41
US-41 Business (Venice)
CR-876 (Daniels Parkway in Fort Myers)
CR-865 (Ben C. Pratt Six Mike Cypress Parkway and Gladiolus Drive in Fort Myers)
FL-739
FL-865
CR-869 (Summerlin Road in Fort Myers)
FL-867
FL-884
CR-840 (Alico Road in Fort Myers)
FL-80
US-27
FL-820
US-441

I'm certain there are others I'm missing in local driving around Fort Myers for Christmas shopping and such, and I didn't try to include non-numbered local streets (especially to the extent it might identify the streets on which our relatives live, which doesn't feel appropriate since they would not have had any say in my posting it!)

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"

I'm going to have to look up some of these routes to see where they are. I've clinched 18, 39 and 42. I'm also assuming this is where you obtained the Low Moor photo.

US 60 east of Owensboro is an easy drive. It's all been rebuilt, there aren't very many traffic lights, and there are plenty of passing lanes on the hills. You have two choices to get to the freeway system. One is to stay on US 31W to KY 841, or take KY 313 to I-65. I think most of 60 has been rebuilt between Henderson and Morganfield (KY 56) but am not positive. It's been a few years since I've been across it. I do know that 60 west of Morganfield, while not a bad road, isn't of the same quality between Owensboro and Fork Knox.

Mystic, CT to Gettysburg, PA

I-95
Milford Connector
Merritt Parkway (CT-15)
Hutchinson River Parkway
I-287 (I-87 multiplexed for a bit)
I-78

I recommend the last portion. It's scenic and you go through Encyclopedia Brown's hometown of Idaville.

Last significant road trip was between late December and early January of last year, involving L.A.  Because of the fires & mudslides, our usual southbound route via US 101 wasn't available.  So it was the usual way south out of San Jose: CA 87 south to 85, CA 85 south (SE) to US 101, then south to CA 152, and east over that route to I-5.  Took that (with delays over the mountains) south into L.A., where a veer onto CA 170 was necessary to access my GF's best friend's home in North Hollywood, where I dropped her off for a multi-day visit.  After listening to traffic reports, I backtracked up 170 and I-5 to CA 14, which I took out to the desert (the Pearblossom Highway "cutoff" to CA 138).  From there it was CA 138 east to Main Street in Phelan, which continues east as Main Street in Hesperia.  I spent New Years' with friends in the desert (also picking up various shit from my storage area there) before heading off up I-15 to Las Vegas for a couple of days at C.E.S. (Consumer Electronic Show).  GF and her friend flew in to join me (at least during the times I wasn't attending the show -- neither could give a rat's ass about audio gear [my current business]).  After a couple of days, the friend flew back to L.A. and we took off very early in the morning south on I-15 and then west on CA 58 to CA 99 (with GF asleep and not waking up until Bakersfield).  Headed north on CA 99; she googled up places to get "beerocks" (actually birocs -- essentially Armenian-origin wraps) in Fresno, so we found a place on N. Blackstone and took 41 up there, and Herndon Ave. back to 99.  She wanted to hit Winco before getting back to San Jose -- and we didn't have enough cooler room for the perishables, so we decided to go to the Tracy store to minimize the road time from there home; so it was CA 99 to west CA 120, south on I-5 to I-205; the Winco is just off the freeway at Grant Line Road.  After shopping (it was about 8 p.m. by then) we simply took 205 to I-580, I-580 to I-680, I-680 to its I-280 continuation, and then on to CA 87 south, getting off at the Almaden Expressway exit, which took us to local streets and home.  Except for occasional business trips to Folsom/Sacramento, I haven't had the occasion to venture far afield as of late; I'll probably skip the CES show next year (less and less exhibitors with each passing year -- largely due to corporate consolidation in the field), so New Years' will likely be local.  I will have to make a quick trip (back & forth in 2 days!) to Hesperia before Thanksgiving (I tend to put off desert trips until winter for obvious reasons!), but that will be via the most direct route possible (101-152-5-58-395 and back).
