Lowest-numbered route you haven't been on

[oscar]

So, Oscar will step out of his front door and take ten minutes to beat formulanone.  Some poor strategy going on here...

Still, have to give credit where credit is due for formulanone beating Oscar...for however temporarily.

Everyone's overlooking that mapcat can claim, per Travel Mapping, a lowest untraveled number of 688. He's a light user of this forum, but spends more time on TM's forum. He's also younger and much healthier than I am, so I've given up on trying to keep up with him.

Somebody wanted some clong with their flan.

  What happened to my jump from 266 to 303?  (Yes I'm anal retentive)  (Looks like a few others also "lost" some routes as well)

I didn't realize mapcat had crossed the 525 threshold. While not a user on this forum (that I'm aware of) michih at Travel Mapping is at 767...

(...furiously scrambles to see if 668 was an unposted county route somewhere in Florida...)

Forum really needs to come into the 21st Century.  Will update again...

[Rothman]

This should be all better, now.  Mapcat can claim his prize whenever he wants.  Until then...

[Streetman]

I'm not big on road trips, so it's 13, because my home state, CT, has supersitiously never assigned that number to a route.

[oscar]

I was wondering how you were doing, since your participation has diminished.  I hope all is well.

I've had to resort to a walker, for balance issues that started cropping up in early 2022. That didn't stop me from a cross-country road trip (five weeks, 12K miles, to the Pacific Northwest) ending a few weeks ago, and some shorter trips to Kentucky and Nebraska earlier this year, which help explain my low activity here. My doctors and I are working on improving how I manage my balance issues.

Here's to hoping your balance issues get better, I wasn't aware of that.

Wish you the best.  My check engine light came on earlier this year.  Hoping the worst is behind me.

Any trips to National Trail Raceway, Mid-Ohio, or even Nelson Ledges Road Course on the docket before things get cold? (and an excuse to drive any part of Oh 668)

[74/171FAN]

I got OH 668 through its US 22 concurrency.  However, my first 668 was unsurprisingly a VA SR. 

[Rothman]

Claiming unsigned routes is for sissies.

[thspfc]

I finally have a 3. All it took was flying across the Atlantic and stumbling onto a London street that, unbeknownst to me at the time, carries the A3.

My new number is . . . 7. Ugh. But I'll be able to get that in Minnesota. Once I do I'll be up to a somewhat respectable 31.

[Rothman]

Everyone give thspfc some encouragement.  "Aw, wook at your widdle 7.  We'll put it right here on the refrigerator where everyone can see it..."

[CNGL-Leudimin]

I struggle for any numbers below 100 since Spain didn't have really any routes below that number until the 80s or 90s; but then things get easier. I've realized I have now a streak from 115 to 141, which I've recently widened from 120-140. Only two numbers of the latter range (128 and 134) don't happen as "orange" (i.e. first order regional) routes in Aragon.

[formulanone]

Everyone give thspfc some encouragement.  "Aw, wook at your widdle 7.  We'll put it right here on the refrigerator where everyone can see it..."

Wisconsin has it a little rough with only 2, 8, and 10 in the first ten numbers.

Or if you live in Nevada or Arizona...you have to get out of state a lot for this game.

[cockroachking]

Took a trip today to Central Connecticut to drive some segments of CT-148 and CT-167. This now makes my target number 184, though hopefully for a very short time.

I'll wait for the "very short time," then.

[deathtopumpkins]

Forgot this thread existed, and unfortunately drove right past one end of CA 245 back in May, and right past VA 245 a few weeks ago.

Grr.

Maybe on one of my upcoming drives to Chicago I'll make a little detour through the Finger Lakes...

Clinched NJ-184 today, so up to 204 I go. Definitely won't be a short wait for that one.

Big jump for the King of Cockroaches.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that my number is no longer 18.

Recently, with US 18, SD 48, and WA 106 (long story), I'm now at 141.

A big, belated jump for kurumi, although 141 should be near where he is (maybe?)?

[cl94]

I got KY 358 and OH 368 on my current trip, which brings my lowest undriven up to 382. These gaps are getting harder to fill as I move up.
