QuoteAugust 12: Post the junction of a US highway with a 5 in the tens place and a US highway with a 7 in the tens place.

Once again, I am amazed that the first post is the route combination I thought no one would think of. I'll post it again: US73 and US159 south of Falls City, NE

I just wanted to pick one which I probably hadn't played for the previous round.

Probably the only contribution to the US Highway section of this thread I can make:

US 53 and US 71 run concurrent for 0.35 miles south of the Canadian border in International Falls, MN.

US 54 and US 380 intersect in New Mexico.

US 54 and US 84 are part of the I-40 Business Loop in Santa Rosa, New Mexico.  November 21, 2003.



And a couple I've definitely played before but each is a double match for today, so I think they're worthy of replaying.  Both from April 27, 2004.

Business US 50, US 56, and US 283 in Dodge City, Kansas.



US 50, US 287, and US 385 in Lamar, Colorado.
