XY Challenge

August 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.

August 13: Post the junction of a US highway with a 5 in the tens place and a US highway with an 8 in the tens place. Fifties and eighties.

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.

The next few days:
August 14: Post the junction of a US highway with a 5 in the tens place and a US highway with a 9 in the tens place.
August 15: Post the junction of a US highway with a 6 in the tens place and a different US highway with a 6 in the tens place.
August 16: Post the junction of a US highway with a 6 in the tens place and a US highway with a 7 in the tens place.

For some reason, I can't always access Imgur's share codes on my phone, so I had to wait until I got home from the coast to post today, and predictably my fellow roadgeeks beat me to the punch on three of my four possible plays!

So here's the only one that survived unscathed: US 50 and US 89 in Salina, UT:



Just for grins and giggles, here are the other three now repeat combinations:

US 54 and US 180 in El Paso, Texas:

August 14: Post the junction of a US highway with a 5 in the tens place and a US highway with a 9 in the tens place.

US50 is at this interchange, but the signage fails to mention it. This is Crescent Junction, Utah, where US191 comes from the south to join I-70 west.

Has anyone been to Hammond, Louisiana? I thought I had a picture of that one but I don't.
There's McComb, Mississippi, too.

The next few days:
August 15: Post the junction of a US highway with a 6 in the tens place and a different US highway with a 6 in the tens place.
August 16: Post the junction of a US highway with a 6 in the tens place and a US highway with a 7 in the tens place.
August 17: Post the junction of a US highway with a 6 in the tens place and a US highway with a 8 in the tens place.
August 18 will be a nice day.

I've got things that are the same as everyone else, so I'll play different views/locations for *5x/*9y.  I've probably played most of these in the 1's place season also.

US 50 and US 93 in Majors Junction, Nevada.  October 4, 2015.



US 50 and US 95 in Fallon, Nevada.  November 16, 2007.



US 50 and US 395, south of Carson City, Nevada.  November 16, 2002.

US50 is at this interchange, but the signage fails to mention it. This is Crescent Junction, Utah, where US191 comes from the south to join I-70 west.

I forgot about that one, because I had the photo under US 6 and didn't think to look there for fifties-nineties.  IIRC, the only sign assembly that mentions all 3 US highways is on the western end of the business loop through Green River:



IIRC, US 50 is only signed along I-70 from Salina up to the interchange with UT 10/72. East of that, I think the pic above is the only mention of it. But US 6 and US 191 only show up a few times during their I-70 concurrency, too.

Has anyone been to Hammond, Louisiana? I thought I had a picture of that one but I don't.
There's McComb, Mississippi, too.

Also Tenaha (59/96) and Houston (59/90/90A) in Texas, but I've never been to either place. Anybody else?

US 59 Business and US 190 in Livingston, Texas:



US 51 North at US 98 in McComb, Mississippi...no US 51 sign here, but one makes a left for the overlap:



For yesterday's challenge, here's US 50 at 285 in Poncha Springs, Colorado:

*6x/*6y might provide one of the largest and most geographically diverse sets of options this game has seen.  I'm going with all pictures at least 17 years old.

US 61 and US 63 in Red Wing, Minnesota.  October 10, 2004.



US 64 and US 264 at Whalebone Junction, North Carolina.  December 29, 2000.
