The next 4 days:
April 7: Post a junction of a route with a 4 in the tens place and a route with 7 in the tens place. This will give us a route in the forties meeting a route in the seventies.
April 8: Post a junction of a route with a 4 in the tens place and a route with 8 in the tens place. This will give us a route in the forties meeting a route in the eighties.
April 9: Post a junction of a route with a 4 in the tens place and a route with 9 in the tens place. This will give us a route in the forties meeting a route in the nineties.
April 10: Post a junction of a route with a 5 in the tens place and another route with 5 in the tens place. This will give us a route in the fifties meeting a different route in the fifties.

Posting a little early for tomorrow -- I hate to re-use a picture from Round 1, but OR 140 and OR 70 from Dairy is the only forties-seventies junction in Oregon, and this is the only picture I have displaying both highways' shields:



I'll be missing out the next few days because I'll be traveling. I might make up for the missing days after Round 2 ends like I did after Round 1.  Although I guess I won't need to for Tuesday, since Oregon has no forties-eighties junctions.
