994, coming from Miami-Dade on FL 997 in 2004.  I might get one or two more going forward but my collection gets very sparse as we get to 4 digits.

Photos I post are my own unless otherwise noted.

FYI, once we hit 1000 we're going to start the game over, but adding the rule that you have to take the picture of the shield yourself.  :bigass:

(On film. And you have to pay for the processing yourself. And upload a scan of the negative to prove you took it.)  :-P

Hey!  I never ordained that!  But then again I'm not the king of a damn thing.  We could do that if you wanted!  We can start a new thread...  I honestly don't know what to expect when we hit 1000.  We'll continue this game into the 1000s (I can't believe I'm saying this) but once we hit 1000...anyone is free to start their own rendition of this.  Maybe we should settle on another solid idea though, before 100 people go starting their own threads at once heheh

I don't see why it will be a problem. I have a bunch of 10xx pictures. The Texas Farm Roads site has all of 10xx covered.

Krome Avenue's north end at US 27 brings us FL 997:



Florida doesn't have too many four-digit state routes, so except for a few Leon County roads, that's almost all from the Sunshine State.

If I owned a dam and decided to donate it to charity, would I be giving a dam? I'm sure that might be a first because no one really gives a dam.

I kinda feel like it's cheating, but...

This seems a tad bit anticlimactic. It is # 1000 though. 2000, here we come not! :pan:

Well, you didn't take it yourself, so I'm just going to leave this here...

(Since this doesn't count for 1000, it doesn't count against my posting limits. My next number is 1003.)

I'm also impressed that the game has made it this far.
Adding to what Josh wrote above, in addition to Leon County, Alachua, Bay, Volusia and Walton Counties also use 4di County Roads in Florida.

I think you may absolutely pre-empt mine with yours. (However, I do need to ask to see the negative.) ;-)

Someone please post a 1007. I would (even per the 24-hour rule) but I have my own 1008 ready to go, and I don't have a 1007.

Here you go, I'll use the 24 hour rule to post FM 1007 from the Texas FM roads site
