Title: First State Route Clinched In A State
Post by: 74/171FAN on June 02, 2021, 07:55:42 PM
This past Saturday I clinched OH 609, which was the first state route in OH I have clinched, so I have been thinking what is the first state route you have clinched in each state.

VA will be tough because I was born there, and lack of memory as an infant plays a part in this.  This is as correct as I think that I can come up with.

FL: FL 869 (2008)
GA:  GA 331 (2002)
SC:  SC 65 (mid 2000s sometime, this is somewhat controversial based on uncertainty with 27th St, taking that away would make it SC 700, which I clinched in 2012)
NC:  NC 168 (whenever I went to Nags Head the first time)
VA:  VA 36 or VA 156 Business (Hopewell) (If counting business routes, I believe it is the latter.  If not, I believe it is the former.  It could also be VA 144, but the portion north of VA 10 makes that unlikely IMO).
WV:  WV 112 (2014)
KY:   KY 2167 (2013) (same day as KY 3226, the other clinched KY route)
OH:  OH 609 (last Saturday)
PA:   PA 581 (2015)
DC:  DC 295  :-D  (well it still is not a state at the moment anyway, clinched in 2009)
MD:  MD 234 (2014)
DE:  DE 141 (2016)
NJ:  NJ 208 (2009, thanks to a church van randomly going this way)
NY:  NY 440 (2018)

I have not clinched any state routes in any other state as of this post.

MN and WI, no certainty. MN was probably Crosstown 62 or MN 100. WI may have been STH-105 when I was in college, which my historical travel patterns and my TM list supports.

AR: AR 41 (southern)
CO: SH 58
FL: A1A leg in Key West
IA: IA 60
IL: ILL 35
MI: M-14
ND: ND 54
NM: NM 4
SC: SC 107
SD: SD 43
WA: SR 4

Michigan: M-58
Indiana: IN-520
Ohio: OH-420

Seriously though these are all short highways that I just happened to clinch first in each of these three states.

M-58 is about 5 miles long.
OH-420 is about 3 miles long.
IN-520 is about a quarter mile long if that.

It's hard to say with places we drove when I was a child, and even a lot since then, but I'll take a guess. I'm excluding anything that doesn't appear in TM as a state route (e.g. excluding NY parkways). Ones with a question mark are genuine guesses. Ones in italics are probable but not certain.

First clinches by state ordered by how many total miles I've driven there:
VA - 134

MN- I don't know, but there's a good chance the now-decommissioned MN 110 was it. If it is required that it still exists, I think MN 282 is it, but it's possible the original MN 62 is it.
IL/WI- IL 76 and WI 140, all in one shot.
IA- The now-decommisioned IA 91, with IA 86 being the first one that I clinched which still exists.
NE- NE 85, a highway I heard called by that name exactly once.
SD- SD 32, unless my dad happened to drive something in the Black Hills when I was 5.
IN- IN 912 before it was demolished.
MI- MI 60, on my only trip to Michigan
NM- NM 7, the road to Carlsbad Caverns
KS- I believe K-10 was first, but it may have been K-63. It is definitely K-63 if you are only talking about the current route.
MO- MO 118

EDIT: After looking it up, found 2 other states
VA- VA 79 (on my DC trip the day we went to Shenandoah NP)
TX- FM 3255

KY 212 goes 0.2 miles north past the I-275 ramps and ends at KY 20, so unless you actually been all the way up to KY 20, if you came out of CVG and only have exited onto I-275, it's not a clinch. Just noting it here as I almost mentioned KY 212 onto my list upthread until I realized that.

This may be the case for a lot of people along the I-81 corridor since it is a US 11 connector with a Sheetz on it.

I recall needing to refill the rental car, which meant trekking out to KY 20 out of more than curiosity...

I have done the entire KY 212 between the airport and KY 20. I still think it's the first I fully clinched in KY.

This may be the case for a lot of people along the I-81 corridor since it is a US 11 connector with a Sheetz on it.
I for one purposely left off state routes that overlapped with interstates.

VA 292 does not overlap with I-81 or US 11.  It is just a short connector between the two routes. (http://www.vahighways.com/route-log/va292.htm)

Gauging by my clinched highways in the "Highways You Have Clinched" thread, it looks like I've only clinched state highways in 2 states, unless I'm missing something (which I probably am)

TX: TX-332

The second VA 253 might be the first primary route I clinched in Virginia. It was downgraded to Prince William County SR 906 in 1998, but it was still primary while I was growing up.

The first Virginia primary route I clinched while actually driving it was probably VA 197.

This past Saturday I clinched OH 609, which was the first state route in OH I have clinched, so I have been thinking what is the first state route you have clinched in each state.

VA will be tough because I was born there, and lack of memory as an infant plays a part in this.  This is as correct as I think that I can come up with.

FL: FL 869 (2008)
GA:  GA 331 (2002)
SC:  SC 65 (mid 2000s sometime, this is somewhat controversial based on uncertainty with 27th St, taking that away would make it SC 700, which I clinched in 2012)
NC:  NC 168 (whenever I went to Nags Head the first time)
VA:  VA 36 or VA 156 Business (Hopewell) (If counting business routes, I believe it is the latter.  If not, I believe it is the former.  It could also be VA 144, but the portion north of VA 10 makes that unlikely IMO).
WV:  WV 112 (2014)
KY:   KY 2167 (2013) (same day as KY 3226, the other clinched KY route)
OH:  OH 609 (last Saturday)
PA:   PA 581 (2015)
DC:  DC 295  :-D  (well it still is not a state at the moment anyway, clinched in 2009)
MD:  MD 234 (2014)
DE:  DE 141 (2016)
NJ:  NJ 208 (2009, thanks to a church van randomly going this way)
NY:  NY 440 (2018)

I have not clinched any state routes in any other state as of this post.

Adding the following:
IN:  IN 8 (Eastern Segment)
MI:  M-239
IL:  IL 5
IA:  IA 130

OH - 420. Also clinched 191, 246, 412, 660 and 719
CO - 5. Also clinched 30, 44, 53, 74, 224, 265, 470

LA:  Maybe LA 154 or LA 544?
TX:  Either TX 12 or TX 73

In other states, I've clinched only 1 or 2 state routes, so they're not really worth mentioning.
