Lafayette County 292:

Uhh, we're not up to 292 yet.

Retracted the 292 for now. Multitasking is a poor way of doing things.

I'm really starting to think that we don't need to accelerate the game as much at the high numbers like I was planning. So I am proposing a new schedule:

301-1000: Advance after 10 hours. (This stretch of the game would last about 10 months.)
1001-3000: Advance after 2 hours. (This stretch would last about 6 months.)
3001+: Advance for each post. (For example, if you post 3001, and your next number is 3004, you have to wait three posts before posting 3004.)

Thoughts?

In the meantime, some more catchups:

And one backtrack with NC 209:

Unsurprisingly, I have dozens of I-285s to choose from, so I'll give you this old state-name shield. It wouldn't surprise me if this dates back to when this was the north end of Decatur's Business US 29 (decomissioned ~1986).

Meant to go on this trip before we got to 281, but ended up not being able to, mostly due to weather (rain or excessive heat, take your pick.)

But, I was able to do it yesterday, and got a few other routes to go along with it, so:

The west end of IA-281 at the Waterloo city limit. If you look in the background, you'll see an unusual white "Waterloo" city name sign.



Then rather taking the quickest route, I took a detour along the short routes of IA-8 and IA-96 (which, IMO, should just be one route using a concurrency with US-63; just look at a map and see if you don't agree.)

This is the west end of IA-8 at US-63 in the downtown of Traer.



And here is the east end of IA-96 at US-63.

I have a surprisingly large number of 286 options.  Here's what I'll go with:

New York 286 from New York 590.  April 20, 2007.



Texas 286 in Corpus Christi.   July 28, 2005.
