Here's what I got for craIG county:

FTFY :sombrero:. Too bad the sign is gone, that cover image really would have gone with it.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

I posted this in another thread, but if you click on White Castle, LA in Google Maps, then you get this...

I see burgers and fries. Isn't that normal for White Castle?

The town isn't a restaurant.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

Well White Castle, LA doesn't have a White Castle franchise in actuality (in fact, the closest one is probably in Nashville, an approximate 600-mile trip).

My bad, didn't notice that it was a town named White Castle. Clicked the google link, expecting something crazy for a White Castle restaurant, only to see burger and fries.

It's only one photo.  Just report it as being inaccurate for the location.  Problem solved.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

The cover image for the Memphis and Arkansas Bridge (I-55 over the Mississippi at Memphis) is... The Hernando DeSoto Bridge (the nearby I-40 crossing).

Not exactly crazy, but Williston, ND has a really random one.

Just looks like downtown Williston to me.

I got this image.

That just looks like the banks of any river near a mill town to me. All you need is a guy with a BMI of 16 wearing a Godsmack t-shirt and you've got the whole picture.

Does everyone get a different image? I'm getting a closeup of drinks.

You're likely getting the same one as me and vdeane. The view of the river in the background (mentioned in SectorZ's comment) isn't visible until you click to enlarge it.

Wow. I saw the river as part of the sky this whole time.

Understandable, now that I look at it again! I might have thought the same thing had I not enlarged it before making my original comment.
