Hi everyone.

I registered here back in 2010 and made a few posts but I didn't stick around long. However I've rediscovered my love of roads. I'll be lurking around and hopefully can contribute as well.
If you address me, call me Shiloh. I am trans. Thanks.

Ken Jennings (the $2,000,000 winner on Jeopardy!) was also here in 2010. Let's see if he comes back, too.
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.

Hey, my name is Ken...I'm an author working on a book for Scribner's about people with different kinds of geographical obsessions.  (I'm also the guy who was a contestant on the TV quiz show Jeopardy for about half of 2004, if that rings a bell.)

Right now I'm working on a chapter about various kind of roadgeekery.  I've been a fan of road atlases and highway minutiae ever since I was kid, but I don't feel really knowledgeable about this is as an organized hobby.  I haven't had any luck finding any road fans to talk to in my native Seattle, so I thought I'd give Utah a try, since I know I'll be spending some time in Salt Lake in March. 

Anybody from Utah in the house?

Yeah, it's funny.

Does anyone know if that book that Ken Jennings was working on was actually published?

I think this might be the one.
