February 17: Post the junction of a route ending in 6 and a route ending in 8, in your state/province.

None of these posts are from the Chicagoland area! It probably isn't the first time all three photos have been from outside Chicagoland, but I wanted to point it out.

Illinois 18 and Illinois 26 in a wild, wooded area, where you'd never guess that a sizeable town named Henry lies right across the river.

The rest of February:
February 18: Post a nice junction of a route ending in 6 and a route ending in 9, in your state/province.
February 19: Post the junction of a route ending in 7 and a different route ending in 7, in your state/province.
February 20: Post the junction of a route ending in 7 and a route ending in 8, in your state/province.
February 21: Post the junction of a route ending in 7 and a route ending in 9, in your state/province.
February 22: Post the junction of a route ending in 8 and a different route ending in 8, in your state/province.
February 23: Post the junction of a route ending in 8 and a route ending in 9, in your state/province.
February 24: Post the junction of a route ending in 9 and a different route ending in 9, in your state/province.

February 25-28: The game will take a short break. During this break, feel free to post any charts or summaries encompassing the whole state or a certain route system, as exemplified in this thread's original post. This includes a summary of what we have just posted for these first two months!

On March 1, the game with start at 0-0 with a new criterion: routes from your state or province again, but with a focus on the tens digit of the route number, rather than the last digit. On this day, we will want junctions of two separate routes, each of which have a 0 as the tens digit. To be clear, single-digit numbers will be considered valid as numbers with a 0 in the tens digit.

For example, on March 21, the digits requested will be 2 and 3 for the tens place. Valid combinations of route numbers could be 128 and 33, 27 and 139, or 525 and 434. Just so everyone is clear on what to do.

The focus on one's own state or province will end in late April, as the game will shift focus to the US highway system in May. People will be allowed to post photos taken in any state.

I was late to the party and didn't join in until 0-9 day, so unless someone objects, I may post make-up photos from Oregon during this break for the days I missed.  As I'm a retired teacher, it's only fair you allow me to turn in late homework, after I had to accept it from students for years! 

However, I might also be traveling then and not able to post, so no promises, either.  I may just have to accept the low grade.

I can't find my photo of Alabama 116 at SR 39, but here's a uni-sign of the meetup. These are starting to take the place of the large "sine salads" but I think this is the first two-shield panel I've seen in the state.

Edit: found it...
