Title: Where's Steve at?
Post by: SteveG1988 on August 21, 2014, 08:00:25 AM
I will be posting random road related photos, guess where it's at, each one will be open for 48hrs for guessing. Answers will be given afterwards.

Never been to the northeast before except for Boston (and we flew there), so this is just a wild guess, but, somewhere in the northeast. I have been to the northeast on Google Street View. If I have to be specific, I guess New York. To get even more specific, I guess southern New York. Once again this is a fairly wild guess, so sorry if I'm way off :-D

This reminds me of "Guess The Highway" and related games from the early forum days.

I think this is along I-80 (the Tri-State), just west of the I-90/94 (Borman) split south of Chicago.

Heh. At first it looked like a desert but then I realized it was just a bunch of construction and there were trees in the distance  :-D

Also, I like these "Where is Steve at?" things. If I remember correctly from other threads on the forum you are a trucker, so this is a very cool thing to do since you're traveling all over the country. Keep it up!

Doh!  Well done.  My first immediate thought was I-80 in PA, but the 3 lanes threw me off as there is nowhere that would have them on a downgrade (PennDOT doesn't even bother to maintain climbing lanes to the crest of the hill for that matter).  Also, I've never seen the signage shown in PA, and two vehicles with white plates made me think further south......but just not THAT far south (was still thinking VA/WV area).

Here's the location in GSV:

I'm gonna guess that the first one is I-295 south in NJ approaching exit 7, here:

Good, i am going to try and post twofers for now on, from different regions, since if i post a lot from one state/region it gets obvious, particularly if it is taken in similar areas on connecting interstates.

Assuming Roadrunner would be right with his guess, I thought about the area you were in, and this is quite a random guess, but I'd say Interstate 80 in western New Jersey for the other picture. This is my guess because I looked at a section of I-80 in western NJ on Google Maps street view, and it had similar looking asphalt and striping, and at the spot I was at, there were no guardrails or anything in the median. There was also some piedmont (lots of hills). Hope I'm right, or at least close  :cool:

Not close at all, as i said, the twofers will be from different regions. Remember, a truck can cover nearly 650 mi in a day if you get a good pace down.

Roadrunner, I have to say I am amazed with your ability to find all these sections of road so easily, even with tips, lol. Well done, my friend. I knew the I-24 one right off the bat just because it's right near where I live and its a very significant stretch of interstate.  :-D

Well you knew the terrain in that one. More photos to come as soon as i get spaced out in terms of where i am at, since if i take too many from one area it gets too easy to guess where i am at.

Time for a new round of photos.

Odd Question, is there a noticable quality difference between the old photos (the prior to KY ones) and the current ones? i switched to a sony phone from my nokia.

They also seem to be doing some repainting, at least along the sidewalks. you get no prize since no guessing was required.

Time for a new round of photos.

Odd Question, is there a noticable quality difference between the old photos (the prior to KY ones) and the current ones? i switched to a sony phone from my nokia.

Oh and no complaints about dirty windshields, hard to keep it clean with bugs hitting it, downside of running early morning/early evening and the overnight...bugs

In the summer, use the green washer fluid Walmart sells...the Windex bug cleaner...works well.

Also clean off your wiper blades every so often... I just did mine and there was so much shit caked on them, it's a small wonder I could even see when using them.  It's like I have new wiper blades again.

Yep.  Cleaning the wiper blades, even for car drivers, is a substantial benefit.  RainX type stuff also seems to help in the rain.

Not Missouri.  The rumble strips are on the shoulders, not the lines.
There are no embedded reflectors - that rules out Illinois.
The rumble strip pattern is different than Indiana and Ohio from what I've seen.
It's obviously not an interstate as there are driveways on the left.

I'm going to suggest US-20 in Iowa.

That means the following:

Iowa (which means US-20);

Here's why I'm thinking Arkansas or heading north from there.  Based on the clue I have deduced the following, and will in the process either figure out the road or give Steve a good laugh:

The first sentence is some clever wordplay, and his truck broke down near either Success, AR or Success, MO.  The second sentence tells me he was hauling a load of Timex watches that day from their facility in North Little Rock.  He later went through Wisconsin, so he could pass near either Success since they are to the north of Little Rock.  I would err on the side of Success, AR since it's closer to a major corridor (closest to US 67, but I-55 isn't that far away), although he wasn't using an interstate in the photo.

Either that or there's a Timex store near Success, MS.  Or none of the above.

Was the hint of it not being an original route to the system a bit too much?

Actually it wasn't - I thought you were referring to your own original planned routing for your trip, but it got me thinking of alternate or bypass routes of major corridors.

I actually normally plan I-57 as it is an awesome route to take if i am going from northern IL/Wi/IN down to TN or southern MO and Arkansas as it bypasses city traffic for St Lvis

I think you may be right. For the past hour, I have been doing nothing but trying to find Steve's location on Google Maps. I have scoped out countless interstates and freeways in the Midwest, and I even covered I-380. Embarrassingly, I only looked at the northern part of I-380. I just now checked out the southern part, and sure enough, the look of the road looks very similar to Steve's picture: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8210619,-91.6554377,3a,75y,342.85h,86.93t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1simv-M89krp4aHJgDSB-lHA!2e0

Congrats, you beat me to it, and I was so close  :)

(that is, if we're correct with our guess of I-380, but it's very likely it's right)

That looks like Illinois.  The crappy pavement, the redone area along the lane lines, the two embedded reflectors between every other lanes line, the placement of the rumble strips, and the huge linear potholes between the shoulder and the lanes (I-55 seems very prone to this).

Candidates: I-55 bypass of the one of the towns; I-57 in northern Illinois (between Kankakee & Champaign); I-80.

I haven't the faintest idea of where that picture is from, but where-ever it is from, if that's what the roads are like, then... wow. Even New Jersey's major roadways are in better shape than that. Heck, I'd vouch for Connecticut too.

Close enough roadrunner, and yeah i know i said they would be from different parts but...sometimes i see a neat road scene and feel like posting it even tho i just did one from that state, or i ran across the same state multiple times, during the day, i don't do night photos,not going to say the common roads i take, would make it too easy to guess in the future, but sometimes i just use the same route over and over, so i cannot take photos of it to share more than let's say twice.

Give me a few clues, and lots of zooming in and out of Google Street View will do it.  For the last one I had IL, not 55/57/80, a pond on the opposite side, and the pavement condition.

I might not have the time until later today or tomorrow to start to find where Steve's at, but from quick inspection of the photo I would suspect that the answer to "What's Steve's Mood?" when the photo was taken is "pretty sour".

I'm still a bit stumped over the last one too.  My immediate thought was somewhere along the OH/IN/IL east-west corridor (urban areas, and not the tollways).  Got any clues for that one?   I also recognize the latest theme: power lines.

Oh both are still valid, the one with the bumper to bumper traffic....

I stood at the crossroads of a large nation, looking east and west, but i saw nothing but tail lights as far as a man could walk before he would fall down at a door.

I checked there too the first time around, and didn't see it.  The newest photo looks PA Turnpike-like, but the concrete barrier is a little smaller than their typical spec, and the white lane stripes just a bit too short.

It's not Illinois, and not a tollway - the sign for the overpass is wrong.

I'd say somewhere in Indiana. It is not the Borman or anywhere on I-94.  It could be the Toll Road, but I'm betting somewhere nearer Indianapolis.

I'd guess either an Oklahoma Turnpike (one of the older ones - Turner, Cimmaron, Will Rogers, HE Bailey, or Indian Nation), or the Kansas Turnpike.

Not to mention that left shoulder is about 5 times as wide as the PA Turnpike's barely foot-wide left shoulder (in 2 lane sections)!

good work rodrammer75, i tried to trick you guys up with that one, as to me it has a more Northern USA vibe due to the jersey barrier

Disagree, I immediately got an Arkansas vibe out of it.

In looking around for the past few photos I've noticed a few other Jersey Barriers lurking in what I would think are unusual places.

I don't think there is any longer such a thing as an unusual place for a jersey barrier.  They're freaking everywhere these days.  Much to my dismay, I vastly prefer railing.

Didn't notice it there. I am tempted to blur out shields milemarkers and plates for now on.

Denver was fun to visit, made a delivery where my truck partially blocked traffic on a wide side street. Older building not designed for 53ft trailers and conventional cabs. Counted 7 head shops on Business Loop 70.

That actually looks a lot like the connection to US 40 outside Columbus - OH 158.
http://goo.gl/maps/Ajkzd (http://goo.gl/maps/Ajkzd)

Not the same road, but 158 was the terminus of I-70 into US 40 before the road went through Columbus. They removed one carriageway for the most part and let what's left slowly disappear into nature. It was a stop on the Cbus meet a few years back.

A spanish inquistion, but nobody expects that.

No, i stayed along I-25 until i left the interstate system, did not return to it until i went to Debbie's favorite place.

No, i ended up going up to illinois with my next load.

Might this be somewhere heading SE from I-25, maybe along US 87 or further SE heading toward Dallas?   You mentioned leaving I-25, and returning to the interstate system - but not necessarily I-25 again.  (this is for photo #3 from the previous batch...)

I checked from yonder to yonder (interstates in pretty much every state in the west, and heavily concentrated on I-25 in NM, CO, & WY after you gave away more hints), but I could not find the exact location of your picture still. Misewell give us the answer now, since I am truly curious as to where that picture was taken, and how close I was to finding its location  :)
It isn't an interstate
Might this be somewhere heading SE from I-25, maybe along US 87 or further SE heading toward Dallas?   You mentioned leaving I-25, and returning to the interstate system - but not necessarily I-25 again.  (this is for photo #3 from the previous batch...)
You know what, I'll give it to ya. US87 near san Angelo Tx.
Thanks - I think I found the exact spot:

Good work, i knew that would be an easy one.

To be honest for a bit i lost interest in doing this, as well as being worked hard. I plan to get a decent camera for doing this with after i get my car on the road with decent tires, and a clean bill of health.

That can't be the Indian Nation Turnpike because the median is narrower and raised.

Another Clue: It isn't a limited access road. There is cross traffic.

Looks like a 44 foot median, too, which generally means non-freeway.

Concrete dual highways are pretty rare in Georgia, and they have a variety of configurations with regard to width and material choice for paved shoulders. And most of them, it seems, run north-south.

GA 316 was an obvious early guess, but it has a narrower concrete right shoulder with cast-in rumble strips. The only place where I found the photo's cross section on an east-west highway was on US 76, which is in mountainous terrain. Really, the terrain reminds me most of US 27 where there's a discernable fall toward the Chattahoochee even though the river is quite distant. But US 27 runs north-south, and IIRC it's all asphalt. 

I Googlesurfed every newish east-west new-terrain dual highway in Georgia that I could think of, and quite a few north-south ones, too, before that clue was provided. I suppose it's possible that that the highway was actually dualized, but that would be exceedingly rare, to the point that I don't even think such a thing exists.

I could do a better job if my laptop wasn't such a piece of junk, but as it is I pronounce myself stumped.  :hmmm:

Post by: lordsutch on January 20, 2015, 09:45:46 PM
The fact it's posted at 65 gives a clue that it's probably not in Georgia ;)

Seriously, though... it might be GA 96 (Fall Line Freeway) westbound between Reynolds and Fort Valley. Limit is 65, concrete road with 44' median and asphalt shoulders with rumble strips, and somewhat hilly. I can't find the exact place in GSV that corresponds with that picture, though, so maybe not.

Here it is. (https://www.google.com/maps/@32.546947,-83.988446,3a,75y,257.86h,76.41t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s5ojFyDalEDarSJGqgiixGw!2e0) Damn GDOT and their pseudo-random speed limit sign placement.

Heh. For some reason the whole time I actually thought it was in Oklahoma, so I've been searching every divided highway in the state's hilly region all week  :pan:  :rofl:

How did I not think to check the piedmont of middle Georgia?  :confused:

Anyways, good job, and a tornado or something must've taken down some trees there since that 2008 image was taken on GMSV.

Based on the Fall Line Freeway comment above, I started checking that out a short while ago too.  Also found that area, but I think the full growth of trees threw me off.  The westbound GSV with the taller trees closer to the road says 2008, but the EB GSV from 2011 looks more like it, with clearing on the north side at least.

Well, it does. The section in the photo was new terrain, but just west of there the westbound roadway was clearly rebuilt in concrete on the footprint on the previous highway.

Now I wonder if there are others.

All in all, this was a worthwhile if lengthy exercise. Thanks, SteveG1988!

The following month was the Mid-May 2008 tornado outbreak sequence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-May_2008_tornado_outbreak_sequence); I don't know that it affected GA 96, but it did hit Macon a bit to the north.

The trees may have also been cleared in the interim for a rather more mundane reason: logging.

Oh my goodness, now I feel like an idiot  :wow:

Despite having heard of it a million times, I've never actually listened to the "Georgia On My Mind" song, and I didn't know who wrote it either. Now I know why Steve kept taking about Ray Charles  :-D (I would like to hear the song sometime though, especially since I'm a Georgian myself)

Also, before, I didn't look at the other bound of GA 96 in that street view. At first I thought a tornado could have easily cleared all those trees out, but looking at the 2011 street view and seeing one side of the highway deprived of many of its once-there trees, I think all those trees could have been cut down indeed.

I used to think that "3di" could mean anything 3-digit, but fairly recently I learned apparently it only means 3-digit interstate (hence the 3di though before I knew that I used to think the "di" was some abbreviation for digit; don't ask me why I thought that..  :-D ). The correct term for a 3-digit US Highway is 3dUS.

I know US 35 very well.  The only concrete section of rural US 35 in Ohio is in flat, open country.  Too much terrain in that pic.

I knew it was in Ohio, but I had been leaning toward I-77 near Marietta.

Is this a E/W route, travelling east?  I mention that because the snow on the right would leave me to believe the sun was also on the right (the south), which would have more of an affect of shining directly to the left, melting that snow first.

I think you went out of your way this time to make sure this road photo looks like it could be just about anywhere, with the least amount of useful items for hints - signage, license plates, etc.  I immediately wanted to say "Northeast" with the other traffic Photoshopped out, but I will assume that is incorrect.

As for the second photo, I will guess your driveway in New Jersey.

Looks like Missouri from the rumble strips.  MoDOT seems to love placing them on the edge stripe for some god-awful reason.  It's definitely northern from the embedded as opposed to raised reflectors.

But not too far north, because deciduous trees.  Still, that doesn't narrow it down a whole lot.

If I had to guess without crawling along Streetview... somewhere on US 51 north of Dyersburg (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.167084,-89.235398,3a,75y,229.44h,77.91t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s8RPf5cB6SDBOVP56Ixz1Dg!2e0). Median width is right but the surface in your picture is much better.

A second guess would be TN 22, built to similar specs but I don't think it has so many trees. US 412 thereabouts is also a possibility (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dyersburg,+TN/@35.98664,-89.342421,3a,75y,13.84h,86.52t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sScZPtBOr1al00RUM-A-SqQ!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x887929b40a4deaa9:0x3659044b67c3c572).

Quote from: Brandon on March 23, 2015, 10:39:03 AMLooks like Missouri from the rumble strips.  MoDOT seems to love placing them on the edge stripe for some god-awful reason.  It's definitely northern from the embedded as opposed to raised reflectors.

MS and TN are now doing it as well.  You think it's bad driving a car?  Think again.

With new headlights installed.

Is this somewhere in Arkansas or Tennessee?

Not going to narrow it down to a state, but it is in the region, in the Valley.

This has got to be in the Appalachian Mountains region...

Oh, i see you need a hint. Well, i can just give ya one here, for we are not men. I don't want this to deevolve into us bickering about where it is.


My only guess is SR-21 south of SR-585 in Wayne County near Barberton (Akron) OH, although neither of the yellow "Ice-on-Bridge" signs are standard Ohio wordings.  But then again, a lot of SR-21 between Akron and Massillon was "different" when I used to travel it.

Devo is from the Akron area.

Good. Now figure it out, there are many varieties of road in this state from Us routes to State Routes, and even interstates. It was quite a shortcut to take it too.

The second one must be I-16.  Based on the first photo being GA 57 and you said that you were on the way to Brunswick.  You then mentioned that the second photo is an interstate, and I know that I-95 is 6 laned in Georgia.  That makes the second photo I-16.  I don't have the time to find your exact location, however.

The lens on my camera is shot, I have yet to figure out what to do with my new camera to make it usable in the truck for these photos, was thinking a proper tripod so i can just click photos. It's a Prosumer panasonic. Takes great photos, and has a 60x optical zoom, but is somewhat bulky and not as good at taking quick photos. It powers up fast, but due to the size it takes a moment to aim it.

For that last one, i will take State and what Interstate you think it is, and Possibly for extra brownie points what region of that state.

It is a really long interstate and is not far from a state border.

The haze is due to a bad lens on my old phone

For that last one, i will take State and what Interstate you think it is, and Possibly for extra brownie points what region of that state.
What other hints do you got on the second one?
It is a really long interstate and is not far from a state border.

Consider this to be more of a Test than anything else. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active now, the Sony Xperia M2 i had was not that good.

This one is obvious but i am posting it just to see if there is a discernable quality difference.

PA-28 NB just past the RIDC Park interchange (Exit #10) heading towards the PA Turnpike. https://goo.gl/maps/GaV8U

That rock formation in the background gave it away instantly to me.  Been on that segment of highway a lot in my life.

The '2nd' picture looks better.  However, that could be because of the speed difference you were going.

Still too far north, but you're on the right track.

This was a landscape shot i took, my S4 active shit the bed on me, so i have a crappy phone for now, low end camera. At home is a 13mp equipped phone. So expect shots like this at times from my Panasonic camera.

It looks somewhat like the view one might see on the right if you're heading east on I-64 just prior to Exit 75 (the I-75 north to Cincinnati ramp).

Silver makes it sound like Silver Memorial bridge but I still think it is I-64 in KY. If it is US 35 then I guess US 35 in Ohio.

After a bit of research, I can surmise that this photo (if taken from a super-2, as I presume) isn't from VA or NC. My best guess would have to be MD 90 on the Eastern Shore.

It's definitely one carriageway of a normal freeway or expressway being pressed into service during construction.

It's not Missouri, the rumble strips are not on the stripes.
The separation of carriageways could be Wisconsin.  It's a common setup there.

Well, the only place for the 2nd clue is the I-24 grade up Monteagle Mountain. US 1 is also normally a divided highway here in Maryland though.

Wisconson
Minnesota
Illionis
Iowa
Missouri

Or these states if only part of the state is in the Central Time Zone...
North Dakota

I would guess then, somewhere in Minnesota or Iowa based on the clues thus far.

Getting warmer, but also colder in terms of climate.

See, I'm thinking South Dakota based on the numerous 'South' references.   But 'South'(bound) could also be referring to the roadway that the 2 way road is on. The East reference could be meaning towards the east of something, such as the eastern part of the state.  The hardest part, regardless of the state and highway I'm looking at, is finding ones with A) a concrete roadway, and B) a forested median.  Being from NJ, we probably have a surprising number of tree filled and forested medians compared to most states. 

Yeah, I could be way off, but that's what I'm leaning towards for now.

I now wanna say Minnesota, based solely on how the rumble strips in the photo seem to match up with the placement of rumble strips on I-90.  The Ohio River reference earlier is throwing me off though.

(Really though, I'm just grasping at this point.  This is why I don't do cryptograms either unless I can see the name is "Anonymous" or "Author Unknown"!!!)

Thanks.  I was close at one point, but I was looking further south in the area of the state line (crossing the river); I never panned further north.  So based on the majority of how this highway looked, I wrote it off.

I cannot really give clues on that, as it is a fairly small body of water. It is a flood plain for a larger river though.

I will take a wild stab and say US-378/SC-41 over the Pee Dee River west of Conway, SC.  I remember crossing a long 2-lane bridge en-route to Myrtle Beach and this photo reminds me of it.

I said getting warmer, wrong road, but not wrong state or river.

For a fresh hint, It is definitevely in the CDT part of the state. It's not far from the border of another state, this road is not in the state for a ton of time, and it has less lanes than it does when it leaves the state.

Sometimes i feel like a nut when i do these, sometimes i don't.

That definitely helped.

Also, what really helped was noticing something faintly seen in the picture: a DOT weather station.  Using a website Kentucky has regarding their weather station locations, it was a match.  I still wasn't completely convinced though because of the single-side passing zone, until I travelled further back and zoomed in.  The treeline seemed to match fairly closely as well, along with the placement of the sign on the side of the road. 

Between all of that, I figured it had to be the match.

Yep: https://goo.gl/maps/ULs9x

The low building is the Trenton Water Works.  The closer tall building is on West State Street in Trenton, and is an apartment tower.  The further-away tall building is on the SE corner of Calhoun & West State.  It was first built as a Holiday Inn, I believe.  In it's more current life, it served as some state offices, although I'm not sure if there's any current use of those offices.  On the 1st floor with access to the sidewalk, there's a small deli.

The signs are just blurry enough that the words can't be read, but I figured those tall buildings in the background would jump out at someone. But again, not me...

The billboard says "Skydive Midwest." It's a state that uses "NO PASSING" pennants. The BGS is referring to a campus of a college. It's a state that uses blue driver location markers. The parallel freeway appears to be six lanes wide.

It appears to be somewhere on I-94 south (east) of Milwaukee, exit 325 or higher, but I'm not finding an exact match with GSV.

Is in the Great Plains, between the GPs and the Mississippi, or east of the Mississippi. I want to say somewhere (over the rainbow  :sombrero:) on the Kansas Turnpike/I-35, i.e. southwest of Kansas City. Maybe PA-I know between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh there's a lot of fields and farming. What about Chambersburg?  :bigass: Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's nothing in between.

That's in Illinois.  The two embedded reflectors between the lane lines gives it away.  It looks like I-80 somewhere in north-central Illinois.

The general rule btw, if i say something like

That means you win with your general statement, and that i forgot the exact location i took it at.

Sometimes i forget between taking it and posting it.

It's not Illinois (speed limit 65 on a two-lane road), or Missouri, or Iowa, or Wisconsin, or Indiana, all for the same reason as Illinois.  I would guess Kansas or Nebraska, maybe Oklahoma or Texas.

Yes, another clue would be helpful.

Missouri does, in fact, have 65 mph posted on a handful of two-lane roads. I have no idea if that picture is from Missouri or not, but it really does seem familiar.

It looks like a road I've traveled before. But maybe it isn't. I've looked at it several times now and can't place it, but it really does look like a familiar stretch of road.

I'm going to be switching phones....again. iPhone 5s this time, and it's mostly due to curiousity about the other OS. So after i do the switch there may be more delays due to me having to figure out the phone. The Zenfone 2 has a scraped up lens, i never put cases on them (the 5s has one tho) so where i store the phone gets bumped around a bit, i need to put some felt in the bottom of it to prevent that.

Got no further than trying to figure out if that light between the blue smudge and road sign was a crescent moon (indicating perhaps you're driving eastward), but eventually decided it looked enough like the other reflections that it was probably also a reflection.

Post by: jeffandnicole on November 11, 2015, 03:21:12 PM
Personally, a contest is more fun when there's some sort of clue within the puzzle.  An everyday 2 lane road could be anywhere, and it's not worth the time to try to look around on Google to figure it out.

A sign or a bridge which design is more/less unique to a state helps.  Even "Midwest/Great plains" is still pretty much half the country.

That's no fun -- makes it a one in 48 chance.  It's definitely at a rest area somewhere in the Continental US.  I'll say the westbound I-90 rest area near SR-306 in Mentor, OH.
