So this is the Wisconsin sign I wanted to post, if it's okay.

Can you put a link to where there was because you got my attention.

This is where I took the picture of R-102.

Because there's a good 107 in three of four bordering states, I'll take us back up to Indiana

For purposes of this game, Michigan borders Illinois, even though there is no land border, so if anyone wants to post an Illinois CKC 110 before I go searching, feel free.

I have an Indiana 110 in my Indiana collection, but I'm holding off so I can possibly play OH-111.  IL, MI, IN, and OH don't have a 112...if we stay in the Midwest, 112 will have to be WI or MN.  WV has a 112 as well, and some other states of course.

Probably the same thing he was thinking.

That's why I sometimes wait for people to clear out of the foreground and mid-ground of my pictures (if feasible, of course–I'm not going to stand there waiting for more than a few minutes). I think people care more about (not) being in the pictures than whatever it is you're photographing.

I mean, I fully expect that thought to enter people's minds every time I step out of the car heheh.  That's not news to me.

That guy was taking forever to make his way down the street, and he was only getting closer to me.  SO I got to the point where I didn't want to waste any more time.

I have a crapton of IL-116 since I clinched it last summer (then I can dance between IN and OH for a while if left to my own devices).

I think the only valid plays are WI-118 and MO-118, both of which are very short routes.  Illinois has no 118.

MN-118 (the second one) existed for a bit in the 80s and 90s as the designation for the US-10 freeway before it was completed, but I doubt anyone has pictures of that. (If they did, I'd be impressed!)

I hope I didn't just play this game into a corner, though. :pan:

If the game gets into a corner for an extended period of time, should the poster be able to reset the game by picking the number previously played?

If we back up one and let this Michigan 117 replace the Iowa 117, maybe we can carry on a bit further?  Note: the OP specifically allowed the water border between IL and MI upthread.
