Personal Highway Clinch Bucket List

[1995hoo]

I-95 between Miami, Fla. and Fort Pierce.

....

That's the segment I knocked off last month (Golden Glades to Fort Pierce). I'm glad I did it ONCE for purposes of progress towards the clinch and because I'd have wondered how it was. I feel no need ever to use it again and will stick with the Turnpike in the future! The segment around Port St. Lucie is a nice road (though a longer distance than the Turnpike). The urban segments, not so much.

I would like to clinch US 41, US 31, the former US 66, US 19, US 23, US 25, US 11 and US 412.  I would like to clinch I-94 and I-90.

Dream clinch: US 1 since it's the longest N/S highway in the lower 48.

Realistic clinch: US 395.  I have covered it from San Diego (1974) when this was still the number for what became I-15/215 to Bishop (2013), a small stretch by Lakeview OR and the cosigned US 20/395 part.  There's still plenty of countryside to see on this less taken path and I look forward to it!

US 266

I am surprised you haven't done it yet. It's only about an hour drive. It was the first US route I ever clinched.

In the shorter term, I-95 (I have three segments left, but one is in Florida and two are in New England; I plan to deal with the Florida one on June 14). In the longer term, the Trans-Canada system, US-29, and the M4 in England/Wales (I've driven most of it but haven't been west of Bristol, and I'm missing a small segment on the north side of Heathrow).

I would also like to do the Eyre Highway in Australia.

The Florida segment is done, so now I think in the near term I've set my sights on finishing off Maryland's Interstates. Don't have much left, just a few segments in the Baltimore area, but finding time to go up there and deal with it isn't the easiest thing sometimes, especially with summertime traffic. Maybe next weekend–my wife is going out of town for a high-school reunion, so it might be the ideal time to hit the roads for a few hours!

Definitely hit us up if you want to do lunch or dinner or something! I'll PM you my contact info.

My Personal Highway Clinch Bucket List:

Short term:

• Finish all of the US highways in MD, DC, VA. I'm missing a surprising amount in MD and DC. The stuff I'm missing in MD is either in Western MD or near DC. I could probably knock everything out in two days. As for VA, that's going to take much more effort, since I'm essentially missing the stuff in the corners (near DC, Hampton Roads, and the southwest).
• US 6 in Pennsylvania
• US 46 in New Jersey

Long term:

• I-95. Only missing parts in Maine and Florida.
• All of the US highways in PA
• All of the Maryland state routes
• One of the many alignments of old US 66
• Drive in all 50 states!

I have a couple future trips in store that will get me I-64 out to I-75 in Lexington, I-75 from there to Northern KY, US 17 from I-64 in Newport News to I-95 (I already have some of it) near Fredericksburg, and US 1 from Fredericksburg to Richmond.

Other Top Wanted Clinches:

1. I-77 (US 460 to I-64 in WV, might get that in August-would give me entire route up to Charleston, WV)
2. US 13 (eventually up to Newark, DE but specifically US 58 in Chesapeake to US 50 in Salisbury, MD)
3. VA 10 (VA 31 in Surry to its eastern terminus in Suffolk-would give me entire route)
4. VA 28 (entire route)
5. US 50 (VA 28 to I-495 (Exit 50) specifically, farther east to US 301 in MD I still need though)
