January 13: Post a route ending in 1 meeting a route ending in 3 in your state.

Note that the digits coinciding with the digits of the date is purely a coincidence, but this coincidence will carry until the 19th!

Somehow I keep finding suitable junctions in Illinois where the tens digits match. Here is IL-91 at IL-93 southeast of Kewanee:

Sorry, yesterday I forgot to include the blurb at the end of my last post, even though the progression of digits should be predictable until January 19th.

The numbers for today, January 14: Post the junction of a route ending in 1 and a route ending in 4 in your state.

First, I have Illinois 71 and US Route 34 in Oswego:


IL-071ET by Paul Across America, on Flickr

Illinois 4 at Illinois 151 in Ava:


IL-004-151W by Paul Across America, on Flickr

Illinois 104 at Illinois 111 in Waverly:


IL-104-111E by Paul Across America, on Flickr

The next three days:

January 15: The junction of a route ending in 1 and a route ending in 5, in your state.
January 16: The junction of a route ending in 1 and a route ending in 6, in your state.
January 17: The junction of a route ending in 1 and a route ending in 7, in your state.

January 20 moves to the junction of two routes with numbers ending in 2, in your state. On January 21, it's [2,3], and on January 22, it's [2,4].

SR 75 is the usually unmarked component of U.S. 231. However the state road was acknowledged on CR 280 east in this photo from May 1, 2009.

Could there really be anything more iconic for California than this one?

And to get tomorrow out of the way, I wanted to show one of my favorite junctions in the entire state:

Also
Absolutely gorgeous area if you've never been. The Mendocino Coast is easily the best part of CA-1 (and the original CA-1, to boot. I'd even rank it above the Big Sur drive).

And just one more (for Friday) because it's in my favorite part of the state:

Looks like that sign is no longer there as of 2022 or so. I had to go back to 2018 to find it. The new one just has a 197 shield and a left pointing arrow.

1 and 5 -- a couple of examples from Kentucky from New Year's Eve 2024.





And as a bonus, how these same signs looked in the summer of 2021.
