I decided to sit out Tuesday because the only neighboring state 6-8 junction photo I had (WA 516 and WA 18) only had 18 signage in it.  I realize that showing signage for both routes isn't a requirement, but it just seemed like an unimpressive photo to me without that.

I have a few 6-9's to share, though, starting with CA 96 and CA 299 in Willow Creek, CA:



Next, BL 86 and ID 39 near American Falls, ID:



Finally, US 26 and WY 789 in Shoshoni, WY:
