US 17 and US 98 in Fort Meade, Florida.  June 28, 2008.

I'll play another US 17/US 278 in Ridgeland, South Carolina, only because it is a chance to have Switzerland in this thread.  June 21, 2008.

Those are the only two I can think of. 7/8 might be the worst of the odd/even challenges.

Quote from: paulthemapguy on June 20, 2025, 09:47:51 AMThe remainder of June:
June 24: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 7 and a US highway ending in 9.
June 25: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 8 and a different US highway ending in 8.
June 26: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 8 and a US highway ending in 9.
June 27: Post the junction of a US highway ending in 9 and a different US highway ending in 9.


Then we enter July posting US highway numbers based on the tens digits. We start at 0,0 as always. So on July 1, get ready to find intersections of two US highways where both US highway numbers have a 0 as the tens digit.
Avatar is the last interesting highway I clinched.

US78 and US278 on the west side of Atlanta at I-285. That US278 shield might be the worst US highway shield I've  ever seen (and I know GA does many more 3dus in Series A (the "A" is for "asinine"))

Coming up:
June 26: Post a junction of a US highway ending in 8 and a US highway ending in 9.
