Congrats to everyone who could log into the forum yesterday! I could not.  Here are my teens-and-twenties for yesterday, coming to you from three different county seats:

IL-10 and IL-121 in Lincoln

IL-16 and IL-128 in Shelbyville


IL-016-128EE by Paul Across America, on Flickr

Now for today:
Quote from: xonhulu on March 12, 2025, 11:55:42 PMMarch 13: Post a junction where a route in the teens meets a route in the thirties, in your state/province. In other words, one route number must have a 1 in the tens place, and the other route number must have a 3 in the tens place.

I won't hold it against anyone if they try to post teens and twenties today, in order to make up for yesterday.

The next three days:
March 14: Teens and Forties. Post a junction where a route with a 1 in the tens place meets a route with a 4 in the tens place, in your state or province.
March 15: Teens and Fifties. Post a junction where a route with a 1 in the tens place meets a route with a 5 in the tens place, in your state or province.
March 16: Teens and Sixties. Post a junction where a route with a 1 in the tens place meets a route with a 6 in the tens place, in your state or province.

I do miss the milk from Farm Fresh.  Do you happen to know how many of those stores exist?  I can't seem to find an online presence for them.

AFAIK, there is only one place in Oregon where a 4 in the tens place meets a 1 in the tens place, and that's the junction of OR 141 and OR 210 in Beaverton. 

However, OR 141 is completely unsigned, and probably never will be since the sections of it ODOT maintains are now discontinuous.  So while I have a photo of the intersection where OR 141 begins, there is no 141 shield to be seen.

In the photo, OR 141 begins taking Hall Blvd to the left. Going straight is OR 210, which leads to an interchange with OR 217 in a couple blocks.

So this is OR 210 and OR 141:



OR 10 and OR 43 come close enough together that there are some assemblies carrying both shields:

The only example I know of in Oregon is the western terminus of OR 153 at OR 18 in Bellevue. Here's what that looks actually looks like, from the POV of westbound 153:



Unfortunately, OR 153 is not signed at this junction, or anywhere near it.  In fact, the route is barely signed at all, with just two shields posted way over by its eastern terminus:

 

So I figured I'd have a little fun with GIMP, and doctor the first photo to show how that west terminus should look:



(I really need to find more things to do in retirement.)

I am considering adding seasons where the game is played in adjoining states to yours, rather than in your specific state.  That might be Jan-Feb of next year if people are still interested in this.
