For those using the Texas bikers for photos, you'll probably notice the typical repository (https://sites.google.com/site/txfarmranchroads/) doesn't have anything for the 1500s.  The original forum thread for that group (twtex) is here: http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9234.  We would currently be on page 240(!) of that thread.  There are some signs to be had there, but unfortunately, many images are blocked because they were on Photobucket.  Needless to say, getting through the 1500s is going to be very difficult.

It's possible to find the thumbnails on the original user's photobucket, but a lot of the actual photos aren't even clickable.  1506, for example, is just beyond my reach.  Can't even blow it up to use snipping tool and rip it over to imgur.

What a disaster Photobucket is.  It is near-impossible to efficiently navigate anywhere with all the pop-ups and disruptive advertising.

Highway B1507.  It has been declassified but several signs remain.

The AARoads page for US-82 in Texas unfortunately skips the intersection with FM-1509.

And sorry, Eric, but I just can't find anything now that you started hosting your pictures to flickr instead of okroads.

Eric's actually pretty good about tagging photos.

Of course, you'll have the wade through everyone else's four-digit numbers...

I was actually in KY 1509's county a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't pass by it to get a photo.

You didn't miss much.  I don't think it is even signed from the main road coming in...I think only eastbound from the airport has the sign, but I might be mistaken

I'm amazed we hadn't used a biker's pic since 1500.  Good diversity of sources here!

This is my last posting until the 26th.  I will be on a cruise somewhere in the Caribbean until then.  I expect the count to be up to 1550 by the time I return.  Don't let me down!  :cool:

Maybe chays would rather enjoy the cruise instead of hanging around on this forum.

My brother went on a cruise a couple of years ago and said the costs for internet access were astronomical. So there's that to consider.
