Unfortunately, my next playable photo isn't until 231.

Same for me.

I'm back in at 227, maybe we should have done something like five numbers per group 200 and over?....say 221-225 then 226-230?

Jim

If we're in a rush on this game, I'd rather we do something like allow an advance every 12 hours rather than bring multiple numbers into play.  At least not until we get into ranges where numbers are harder to find.

Plenty of 225 options.

I-225 at I-70 on the eastern side of the Denver metro area.  November 15, 2013.



Massachusetts 225 from I-95.  January 14, 2012.



Utah 225 from US 89.  January 22, 2006.

Further down the road is a less-impressive CR 225 sign. "225" is notable for existing in about five different and seemingly unrelated segments in North Central Florida.

That makes three of us. I'm rather sparse until we get to the 300s thanks to the groupings of numbers in my state.

Yeah, too bad the OP didn't think of something like that... Or to ask anyone's opinion before changing the rule about this...

If enough people really do want to speed up the game until we get to 300, I could go that. Keep in mind that the current window is only 20 hours, so if you want to keep the game moving along, keep that in mind and advance the counter as soon as you can.

Heh...yeah I know I'm reversing what I said earlier, I just didn't expect the slow down to this degree.  It seems to be helping when someone calls out the new number that's up, maybe that's the solution?

In the mean time, let's start 226 for anyone who has one.

I personally think groups of 5 would work well, if everyone else is okay with it.

Groups of five will start at 300. They were originally going to start at 200 but I pushed it back at the request of other users. This was in the rules from the beginning.

I'm still good to take our time, as numbers until at least the lower 400s seem to be pretty common.  But I think I'm outnumbered in that view.

Here's my 226. 

Utah 226 near Snowbasin.  January 23, 2006.

Do we get to post five photos (instead of three) if we're going to move along in groups of fives?

Otherwise, moving by multiples of three would make more sense. Your call...

It will still be three. This is subject to discussion. Keep in mind also that as soon as someone else posts, you can post again. So if you happen to have all five numbers (or five pictures of some combination of the numbers), just wait for someone else to post.

Here's three more lower number photos taken today. It's interesting that all three of the Oxford County shields have different fonts :pan:

Oxford CR 59 (former Highway 59) between Woodstock and Tavistock
