Title: Websites devoted to a single route
Post by: kurumi on August 09, 2011, 02:29:29 AM
When searching for the story "The Red Lodge", I stumbled across a site devoted to US 83: http://www.usroute83.com/

I was curious about which other US routes have that honor: a single-purpose website, covering the entire route, with the route number in its hostname. Certainly 40 and 66; probably 30, 50, and 101...

http://historicrouteone.com/
http://www.route2.com/
http://www.route6tour.com/
http://usroutetwenty.blogspot.com/
http://www.route40.net/
http://www.route41.org/
http://www.fortetwo.net/ - many roads numbered 42
http://www.route50.com/
http://www.historic66.com/
http://www.us-71.com/
http://www.usroute83.com/
http://usroute89.com/
http://www.us-101.com/
http://www.us-131.com/
http://www.us-395.com/

Some of these sites are better than others.

Note: some sites like http://www.route7.org/, http://www.usroute17.org/, and http://usroute58.com/ are advocacy or project sites for small portions of the named routes and do not belong in the above list.

Didn't make the list either:

http://www.route30.com/ - wat  :confused:
http://www.route56.org/ - OK, doing the Lord's work...
http://www.127sale.com/ - the world's longest yard sale

Kind of surprised US-61 and US-99 don't have sites.

What about named roads (but using more than one number), such as the Lincoln and the Jefferson Highways (among others).

A website about US 175 was online for a while but webhost issues and a stolen computer and digi-camera (oh and car problems) helped to derail that for now....meanwhile, improvising continues with the Facebook and Twitter sites linked in the sig:::::

Funny that both U.S. highways in my hometown (50 and 83) have websites.

EDIT: Whups, two of the three but does 400 deserve a website?
