Nevada, Dec 2010

[agentsteel53]

I took a trip this last long weekend - approximately I-15 from San Diego to US-50 in Utah, then west, up 395, across the Sierras, and down I-5 from Mount Shasta.

here is the first batch.

Awesome pix!  I was particularly glad you made the turn down US 93 to snap the cutout route marker there.  I saw it in August 2008, but was too far down the road (and too short on time) when I realized it was unique and I should've taken a snap. 

I didn't see any other such cutouts on US 93 south of US 50.  I don't know about the part of US 93 in Nevada north of US 50, which I've never driven.

I have a much better photo of the US-93 cutout from September 2006, in daylight.



too bad they kinda botched the font: it's Series C stretched to D width.

I do not believe there are others - the project that resulted in the cutouts was a resigning just of Majors Junction.  At some point there were also US 6 and US 50 cutouts, as well as green signs with California-style double-border US shields, like this one.



that sign, btw, is gone as well.  Lame!  The only remnant of this resigning project, from 2005 or so, is the US-93 cutout.

Great pics! US-50 through NV is definitely one of my favorite stretches of road. Did you get a chance to see the gigantic cattle crossing sign? (it's got to be about 6' by 6').

yep, that sign is still there on one of the state highways branching off 50.
