Quote from: bwana39 on August 06, 2026, 08:17:40 PMScott5114, you have not been on Texas 121? It is overlapped on US-75 from the south side of McKinney to the south side of Melissa. It is also one of the main routes from DFW Airport to Fort Worth.

Nope, despite living in the next major metro to the north for decades, I've only visited the DFW area a half-dozen times or so. Didn't know anyone there and I'm not big on flying, so the only reason we visited was for concerts for acts that wouldn't come to Oklahoma City, or just passing through en route to elsewhere.

In the DFW area, I have mileage on I-20 east of I-635, I-30, I-35W, I-35E north of Spur 348, I-635, and Loop 12. That's it. The only bit of US-75 I have is between US-82 and TX-91.

I knew you never got down this far very much. It just struck me as  unlikely that you had somehow missed a freeway that has over 50 miles catty-cornered across DFW (on either SRT and SH-121 proper). But seeing how little of US-75 you have traveled, it makes perfect sense.

OH well!

Yep, since I lived right on I-35, that was a straight shot into DFW and thus the route I nearly always used. US-75 would have required a detour to the east, which wouldn't have made a whole lot of sense unless I was just doing it for clinching purposes. Had I had reason to visit more frequently, I probably would have gotten around to it eventually, but as it stands I never even got all the way through I-35E.

For what it's worth, I'm missing some pretty large chunks of US-75 in Oklahoma too. Just one of those roads that was never all that useful to me.
Meanwhile, there's me who clinched all of US 75 in TX and OK within 5 months of moving to OK for college. However, I never did get around to clinching all of I-40 in Oklahoma.

Quote from: 74/171FAN on August 15, 2026, 08:15:56 AMI finally got a signed 432 (KY 432), but still need a signed 389. :pan:

389 was a tough one for me.  I ended up getting SC 389 (along with SC 394) on my annual holiday trip to Florida by detouring thru Columbia SC and heading south on (mostly) US 321.

Quote from: ModernDayWarrior on July 27, 2026, 09:33:55 PMI'm now at 157 after another weekend-long clinch-a-thon in Northwest Missouri. After 122, my next four numbers were 130, 134, 138, and 148, and I was able to knock out all of them. Didn't get home until 2:45 am this morning, but it was worth it.  :-D


Small bump to 162 after getting the very short MO 157 west of Kirksville yesterday.

I'd agree if I did not see them posting in other threads still.  I forget about some of these threads until they randomly get posted in one day.

I have three under 100: 28, 51, and 59.

NJ28 is the closest by far, only about two hours. Anything else is nearly double the distance away.

I've been on vacation for the past week or so, and I'll be heading back home tomorrow. I drove 116 and 119 during my trip. My lowest is now 172.

TBKS1 was easy to update.  darmstarm's post can be interpreted a couple of different ways.  Not sure why it's so hard just to say "X is the lowest route number I haven't been on."

I highly doubt he means he's only been on three routes with numbers below 100.

The lowest-numbered route he hasn't been on must be 28.
