OK, just to save everybody a fight, here's 1534.
Ripped from one of the Texas bikers' photostream.  Don't tell anyone.


I'm curious as to how you were able to get that photo, as their thread (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9234&page=243) was throwing up 3rd party hosting errors.

Ooh!  I just found a less illegal way of doing it!

1. Go to directly to user Buffalo's photobucket page.
2. Pray to the popup gods that you don't get sucked into an ad vortex.
3. Choose to view his pictures as a slideshow.
4. Scroll through the slideshow to find the one you want (fortunately, they're arranged numerically by route number).
5. Right-click on the full-size image and choose "Copy image address."
6. 3rd-party host it to AARoads as usual.

This is the result:

Thank you!  I had started down that path before a few weeks back but was so turned off by the disaster that is Photobucket that I didn't pursue it much.  I didn't try the slideshow part, either.

I'm not sure if you've looked ahead, but it looks like the Texas bikers eventually captured ALL the FM/RM roads.  Pretty cool feat.

I'm confused. Isn't this exactly the error message you were trying to get around?

It showed correctly yesterday.
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.

I have KY 1534 but will wait to see if someone plays something else.
Why wait?  Do you have a 1535 you'd rather submit instead?

No, I just wanted to give someone else a chance. I don't know if I have a 1535 or not.

I don't keep an inventory of what signs I've photographed. What I'm doing for this game, if I don't know off the top of my head whether or not I might have a photo, is to google "Kentucky State Route xxxx." Often, it will show up on Google Maps, and I can see if any of my travels have taken me by that route. I can then go to my online photos to see if I shot a picture of the route marker.

The next play is 1536. Googling "Kentucky State Route 1536" does not bring up a Google Maps link, but Wikipedia shows the route is in Calloway County. If I was bound and determined to post a KY 1536 sign, I might go to the official Calloway County map to see where the road is, and then check to see if I might have come across it. I have been in Calloway County (far western Kentucky) a couple of times this year so I might have a photo, but may or may not check, depending on if someone else posts a 1536.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I just learned this myself as I only knew how to search in my own photostream. Go to https://www.flickr.com/photos/okroads, then click on the magnifying glass just above the top right picture, and then the search bar on the top should display my name and photos. Then type in whatever you want to search for and hit Enter.

I am about 20,000 pictures behind in writing picture captions but most of my pictures should have captions written with highway numbers included.
