Daily Picture Challenge!

[Jim]

OK, so then I'll take this excuse to post this one in Burgess Jct., Wyoming, not for the first time and likely not the last.

This one gets us 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.



Taken July 25, 1999.

[Jim]

Sorry to post twice in a row, but this one gets all of them up to 17.  Near the start of I-70 West in Maryland.  August 14, 2018.

March 21, 2019: Road photos containing multiples of 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11. Continue higher for a bonus.

Personal edit:  A photo containing any number of integers whose prime factorizations include all 5 of the first 5 primes (2, 3, 5, 7, 11).

I'm not even sure if my own wording does a good enough job.  I understand the challenge now, but wow is that a difficult situation to try and articulate.  Your wording might be the most effective and concise.

This might be one of the smallest sums you can make with numbers that would satisfy the challenge.

21 covers 7 and 3.  22 covers 2 and 11.  45 covers 5.

This photo in Mobile, AL covers up to 13:


AL-I-165-US43WE by Paul Drives, on Flickr

65 covers 5 and 13; 165 covers 11 and 3; 98 covers 2 and 7.

I keep trying to find something along I-39/US51 that goes two extra, since 39 contains a factor of 13 and 51 contains a factor of 17.  But I can never get something divisible by 7 in the same photo!  Instead here's a low hanging fruit with US40 and US231:


IN-US40-US231 by Paul Drives, on Flickr

US231 covers 11, 7, and 3.  US40 covers 2 and 5.

Edit:  HA!  This should work, if the 14 in the background counts:


WI-066-I-39NWWA by Paul Drives, on Flickr

66 covers 11.  10 covers the 5 and 2.  39 covers 13 and 3.  51 covers 17.  The 14 in the background covers 7.

I really didn't expect to have something that worked for this, but I can do it in only two shields, with no overlap: 15 (3, 5) and 154 (2, 7, 11).



Here's another, at UT 209 (11) and UT 210 (2, 3, 5, 7) -- apologies for photo quality:



A third example exists in Utah at the intersection of US 40 (2, 5), US 189 (3, 7) and SR 319 (11), although there is no sign assembly with all three shields on it.

March 24, 2019: State routes with a numerical connection to a US or Interstate route. Routes that share the exact same number with a US or Interstate route don't count for this challenge (e.g. MN-61/US-61 or CA-238/I-238.)

Three examples to get things rolling here.

MN-252, related to US-52, which it used to connect to at its north end. (At one time, there used to be a MN-152 as well–now Hennepin CR-152.)



MN-610, numbered as a quasi-bypass route of US-10.



MN-194, which was renumbered from 94 to 194 when I-94 came into being.

MO 249 and I-49 (Joplin, MO)


MO 360 and US 60 (Springfield, MO)


The short lived AR 471 in NW Arkansas (former alignment of US 71)


MO 371 south of St Joseph, MO (former US 71)

Most of what is now M-10 in metro Detroit used to be the rerouting of US-10 before its eastern terminus was truncated to Bay City.


M-25 between Port Huron and Port Austin used to be the northernmost stretch of US-25 before it was decommissioned in Michigan.


M-231 is a bypass (along with M-45 and I-96) for the US-31 drawbridge over the Grand River in Grand Haven, and may one day become a rerouting of US-31 if Michigan ever gets the funding to complete it.

Ohio 420.  The entire 400-series of state routes in Ohio serve as connectors to the route number 400 less than the given route.

US 119 - PA 819 and US 30 - PA130 in Greensburg:


AL 211 leaves US 11 near Gadsden; it's a former segment of AL 227:

IN-331 and some button copy near Mishawaka.


IN-124 in Peru. No longer connects with mainline US 24, but to the business route through downtown Peru.


IN-250 in Brownstown.

Here are a few that come to mind.

Missouri 370, a state highway child route of I-70.  June 29, 2013.



Colorado 470, a state highway child of I-70.  April 12, 2002.



Virginia 895, a state highway child of I-95.  July 8, 2017.

How long is a lyric? Two lines, or just a few words?

I'm pretty sure most song titles appear as words that are sung in the actual song.  If the words "Suwannee River" appear in the song, that counts as lyrics.

Well, today is the 25th so I think this challenge has expired.

He's going off his rule that any challenge remains open until it gets one valid submission.

(P.S. Can you people please snip the images out of your quotes?! FFS. )

That's the problem–the name appears as "Swanee" in the song. (Well, the second problem; the first is that the song's title is Old Folks at Home.)

[csw]

Well, we can leave that one open, but I'm going to start a new one for today.

March 25, 2019: Two photos of the same route in dramatically different locations.

This is an excuse for me to post more photos of my recent trip to Colorado.

US 24 near Kentland, IN, in typical flat farmland...


...versus US 24 near Redcliff, CO, in the White River National Forest.


US 34 in rural north central Illinois...


...versus US 34 entering Big Thompson Canyon west of Loveland, CO.

If you can read music, you'll see those notes correspond with the tune as you sing, "Way down upon the Swa-nee River!"

March 25, 2019: Two photos of the same route in dramatically different locations.

Not sure what counts as "dramatically different," but this is probably the most drastic difference I have in pictures. They are about 440 miles apart, if one follows US-71 the entire way. (Fun fact: between the two spots in these pictures, Google Maps gives an unmodified route that's 11 miles shorter, using state routes/county roads as shortcuts.)

US-71 heading south out of Bemidji, Minnesota. July 21, 2018.



And US-71 at IA-141, looking north toward Carroll. March 28, 2017.

US 27 in the hills just east of Summerville, GA...



...and US 27 at its south end on the streets of Miami.

^^ There is no state shield attached to the Georgia photo?

Surprisingly not, though my previous photo in that collection from about two miles earlier does have the more standard US 27/GA 1 combo.
