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 (https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=2331.0) 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?
I'm only 5 hours from Salt Lake and pass through there often on my way back to Idaho, but that's not Salt Lake
Rover_0 may be based out of SLC, but he has not been on in about a month.
Yea, I'm actually in Logan right now (going to USU), but I'm originally from Kanab. How can I help? :)
Hey, thanks for the reply, rover_0. I'm still trying to scare up some local roadgeeks in the Seattle area to show me the ropes...if I don't have any luck, I'll shoot you a PM in advance of my Utah trip.
Hey, Ken.
If your travels take you towards Colorado & East Central Utah, I'm in Grand Junction...And also a Game Show Geek..
A nightmare of mine is getting on Jeopardy and Shakespeare being the final Jeopardy category. I hate Shakespeare.
