Expect a lot of US 50 in the next 2 days.  You've been warned!

US 50 and I-580, Carson City, NV:



US 50 and US 89, Salina, UT:



Not sure why I don't have US 50/I-80 pix from Sacramento, since I've been there 3 times in the last 3 years, but I just don't.

Good to see that Kentucky is not the only place afflicted with the whiskey fungus.
Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

I try to avoid using Interstates as one of my numbers, but I don't think I have a choice today. Indiana 51 at Interstate 94


IN-051-I-94SN by Paul Across America, on Flickr

(The only reason I avoid Interstates is to create more variety of content; it's not discouraged or an infraction of the rules in any way.)

The next few days:
April 15: Post the junction of two routes in a state* bordering yours, where both routes have a number containing a 6 in the tens place.
April 16: Post the junction of two routes in a state* bordering yours, where one route's number has a 6 in the tens place, and the other route's number has a 7 in the tens place.
