My offerings for 69.

For US 69, I offer this one in the southeastern corner of Kansas with a bonus Historic US 66 and an End Kansas 66 in the background.  January 24, 2004.



For an I-69, I'll go to the small piece in northern Mississippi.  July 23, 2015.



To Oriskany (?) or somewhere near Rome, for New York 69 and several friends.  This with a bonus BGS with tons of numbers in the background. May 15, 2013.

70 is now in play.

Having US 70 was a bit of a fluke. I took it in 2002, long before it occurred to me to collect pictures of highway signs. Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Those are some damn big numbers on there.

Next is my picture of former MN-361's final northern terminus here at MN-70, after 361 was turned back to Pine/Chisago Counties around 2010 or 2011. MN-361's original northern terminus was further north in Pine City. August 18, 2011.



Also, fun little trivia fact about MN-361: it was established to cover a remnant of US-61 (hence the designation 361) after US-61 was rerouted to be concurrent with I-35, then later cut back to end in Wyoming. The reason 361 remained a state highway at all was because of the Constitutional route description for Route 1, which required that it pass through the cities of Pine City and Rush City. 61's replacement, Interstate 35, originally did not pass through the corporate limits of either city, so the state was required to maintain 361 to match the legal description for Route 1. Once the two cities expanded enough to have I-35 within their limits, MN-361 was no longer needed.

A little bit of the city of Atlanta juts out to the west outside I-285, and it's there along US 78/278 that you'll find the north end of GA 70:

So many good I-70 options to choose from...  I'll choose its western terminus as signed on I-15 South in Utah.  October 1, 2015.



Also lots to choose for US 70, so I'll go to I-25 in the Las Cruces, New Mexico, area. November 8, 2003.



And then to the Chilcoot area for California 70.  November 17, 2007.
