We're getting pretty close to 300, after which we will advance 5 numbers every day. We could continue to advance just one number a day, or advance three numbers a day if people want.

Some more recent additions to my collection:

Well, I'm still in favor of keeping around our current pace until we get to the less common numbers.  If we're going to advance more quickly, I'd prefer to shorten the time frame before advancing rather than opening up multiple numbers at once.

In any case, we're due for 281.

Here's US 281 in Pratt, Kansas.  April 27, 2004.



Not the world's best picture of Maryland 281.  August 13, 2011.



New York 281 in Tully.  June 4, 2013.

No 281 for me so three backtracks instead starting with a triple; GA 5S, GA 20, and GA 140:

I could narrow the window down to 10 hours starting at 300. But if people still have plenty of numbers to play, it's probably best to keep it at the current 20 hours per number. (Keep in mind that at 300 Louisiana comes back into play and I have been stocking up and getting ready to go.)

In the meantime, here's my poor-quality Florida 281.

That bush grew quite a bit.



LOL I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE

These photos were taken about 3 weeks apart; mine was more recent, actually.  So I guess someone went out there and trimmed the bush back so I could get a better shot of the sign  :D haha sorry, Jay.

I completely failed to consider that your picture was taken after mine. Sorry as well!
