Ten Chances [game]

I wonder if that Historic Loop 66 cutout on the green sign is still there in Kingman.  I know most of the signs in that area are now Clearview but I didn't go up that specific street the last time I was there.

Yeah, I'm not sure...I only saw that sign and then we headed East on I-40 from there.

It was there in October of 09- I drove by it at about 2 in the morning for the first time on my way back from Vegas to Phoenix and thought "wait- what? Did I really just see that?"

good to know - I was last in Kingman in Sept '09 but the last time I took note of the sign was April '07.

ooh, someone seems to have added a sloppy paint job to that replica to make it look like the real thing.

three-digit rule, my ass!  and yes, I took all those photos myself  

Took them yourself?  I hope you gave them back after you were done with them!  *snerks!*

This one is (was) near Carthage... probably at Garrison & 4th  or Garrison & Central

Kind of a "hybrid" 71 sign: "Missouri" is round font, the rest is square font.

Well since a lot of people are posting 66 shields, I'll do the same:

not a hybrid - that is a product of the Dominion Sign Company out of Virginia, that happened to have a round font set, width equivalent to Series C, that they used on the state names of all the signs they made.  1926-1939.  Note also the shield shape, which is different from the standard. 





Around 1939 they got a standard collar die, but continued to use their fonts.



this was all well before 1945, when FHWA introduced the new standard round fonts.

Seriously, guys, can we stop leaving the 0 out? That's one of the base rules of the game, and if we're not going to follow the rules, we may as well just have a picture orgy thread.

We have five 606 and 660 shields right now. Still need 5 more before midnight or the game ends.

I can get us two closer.  Thank you WVDOH for adding ".0" to milemarkers now.

you say "orgy" like it's a bad thing. 

the game's died before, and it can die again. 

[Scott5114]

It only gets one free life...

[Duke87]

Last time it died was on 5/05. The x/0x dates are certainly the toughest.

[hbelkins]

I personally think that the "0" should not be necessary. Who writes 6/06/10 when they are filling in the date on anything unless two digits are specifically required?

But since I didn't invent the game or the rules, I guess my opinion means squat.

Anyway...

10 minutes to spare. The game continues!!!
