Highways You Have Clinched

[flan]

Today I clinched MN 18 and MN 107.

According to TM this means I have now driven over 70% of the Minnesota state highway system.

Added today: MN 27, MN 28, MN 117

It was a fruitful day for me in one of the more sparsely populated regions of Minnesota. Today I clinched/finished clinching MN 64, MN 89*, MN 92, MN 197, MN 219, MN 308, and MN 310*.

*I turned around at the "last turnaround before border"

Clinched MA 130 and MA 132 on Cape Cod.

Haven't consciously tried to do this, with some exceptions.

I-95 - I am missing about 50 miles in South Carolina and about 250 miles in Florida. I'm not in any rush to do that, honestly.

US 6 in Pennsylvania - I did all of this in 1992 and the part in the middle (Potter and Tioga Counties) I have particularly fond memories of. I stopped at Grand Canyon of PA (Leonard Harrison State Park) around October 8 and took the best pictures I have ever taken, a particularly clear morning with fall foilage colors.

NY 97 is one I clinched a long time ago (1990s) but wouldn't mind reclinching indefinitely, as I very much enjoyed that road. It goes from Port Jervis to Hancock along the NY side of the Delaware River.

And along the same vein, although they are not clinches in the sense we mean here, I also very much enjoyed driving southbound on both NY 10 and NY 30 in the sections where they follow the two branches of the Delaware as baby rivers. (NY 10 west branch, and NY 30 east branch).

As I have seen in some other posts here, there are many places up that way, in both PA and NY, where I thought, I'd love to live here, but where would I work with an engineering degree? These thoughts occurred long before it was theoretically possible to work anywhere thanks to the Internet (although as some have pointed out, it still may not be possible to do it in those sections of NY state). Those questions are a moot point for me now.

Today I clinched/finished clinching MN 4, MN 15, MN 68, MN 86, MN 264, MN 267, MN 269, and MN 330. I also drove the length of what used to be MN 262, MN 263, and MN 268.

[flan]

I clinched the short MN 292 and finished my clinch of MN 57 today.

[TheHighwayMan3561]

Finished I-294 this weekend. It took a long time because I had little reason to drive it north of I-290 and even less reason to drive it north of I-90.

[flan]

Today I clinched MN 84, MN 87, and MN 371, as well as the MN 371 business route through Brainerd.

Today I clinched MN 113.

I finally got around to putting up some stuff in Travel Mapping:

https://travelmapping.net/user/?units=miles&u=pderocco&

I started with California, natch, and it says I've got over 90% of the state roads, 98% of the interstates, and 100% of the US routes. I've just submitted another update covering the Rocky Mountain states and west of that.

The funny thing is, the hardest state for me to do is Massachusetts, where I grew up and learned to drive, and lived for 47 years until 2000. I've got sketchy records, mostly just memories, of what roads I've driven, and so there are quite a few that I can't prove I've driven even though I probably have. Once I moved to the west, GPS logging became possible, so I now have very precise records of my more recent travels.

Forgot to list some of my new clinched routes

I-240 North Carolina
I-195 Rhode Island-Massachusetts

As of today I've run out of National Roads in my home region of Aragon. However I should note this is in general lines, not counting any upgrades, bypasses, etc. built after I passed but I haven't returned to yet (e.g. the Alcorisa bypass, I turned off N-211 short of it not knowing it had opened to traffic two days earlier).

I clinched OH 575 today. :>

[Shedingtonian]

Today I clinched the Spanish national highway N-350 by foot, and brought home a little gift!

[Shedingtonian]

Yesterday and today, my parents and I clinched Andalusian roads A-2227, A-2229, A-2230 and A-2231. I'm not counting the other roads that we only partially drove, but we did almost 60 miles in one single day.

Today I would have clinched Minnesota's portion of U.S. 12, but bridge construction prevented that feat. I did clinch SD 109 and SD 123, though.

[flan]

Today I clinched ND 19 and ND 57, and last Thursday I clinched ND 91 in Harvey.

[LilianaUwU]

The strangest clinch I have is A-740 in Québec City, which I've clinched thanks to bus routes 75 and 804.

That clinch got weirder, as some of it I did with bus route 75 I also did... on foot!

You reminded me of how, four years ago, I walked on 3 km of freeway (A-7) with my dog, on a rainy day. Talk about irresponsible...

[JayhawkCO]

Up to 1186 routes clinched on travelmapping, plus several in countries that aren't logged yet.
