Two threads with the exact same OP and posted on the same exact day. I mean, come on.

???? The other thread was started by hbelkins. This one wasn't.

In this case, he intended "P" to stand for post, not poster.

Also, the two threads aren't identical. HB's is for recent new route mileage, period. This one is for new mileage on routes you've never been on before.

I was thinking of creating a third thread for routes that are literally completely untraveled, i.e. you are the first car on the road, but I decided against it.

Is that even possible?

I was the first person to drive across a new county road bridge in Estill County, Ky., years ago.

I would have assumed a construction worker was the first.

M-227. Also clinched it at the same time (IMHO, M-227 is a waste of state highway mileage that would be fine as a county road)

Nevada SR 878 in September

US 3 Business and NH 11A in New Hampshire (they're concurrent) last Saturday.

MN 251. Went from completely untraveled to clinched. Last one within Iowa is IA 188.

   On a short trip up to Walla Walla for the Crashmania Championship last weekend, I came home through the Tri-Cities on Sunday and, although I have been all over the Tri-Cities (A freeway building paradise in the 1980's) I had never gone down West Clearwater Avenue in Kennewick between US 395 and Columbia Center Boulevard until this past Sunday. It was a delightful multi-lane suburban commercial arterial of a kind there is simply not enough of in the PDX metro area. (Columbia Center Boulevard is pretty awesome too but I have been on that street before. A LONG time ago.)

My last completely new route is Iceland Route 261 between Route 1 in Hvolsvöllur to 2.3km east of Route 250.

Here's some photos taken on the road.

Priority road starts as you head west into Hvolsvöllur:

A couple of months back I helped a friend who was in the process of moving to Reno by driving one of his 3 SUV's loaded down with household goods.  Since I had the following day to myself, I did a "loop" trip on NV 445/446/447 up to Pyramid Lake and back down to Fernley, and then back to Reno on I-80.  Had never been out of Reno/Sparks on 445, so that journey was all new to me (no pix, didn't have camera on this trip).  Some local friends noted that 447 is the standard access route to Burning Man; but that's something in which I've never had any particular interest.  Essentially the trip covered desert, with the lake standing out in stark relief.  Trip probably won't be repeated anytime soon; I used to live in the desert, and really don't have the inclination to spend any more time there than necessary!

All in the same day, I traveled segments of Utah SR 101, 243, and 165, none of which I’d ever been on any part of before. So I guess 165 is the most recent.

Did a road trip on CA-142/Carbon Canyon Road and CA-71 recently - first time on both roads.
