I hate to keep going back to my Boise City, OK pix, but US 412 and US 56 seems to be my only possible 1-5  play:



Sadly, I will probably have to return here for at least one of 1-6 or 1-8, but I'll at least use a different shot.

Looks like I'll be sitting out tomorrow -- the 70's are my Kryptonite this round, like the 8's last round.

Not sure what I thought I was pasting in this morning with the invalid play.  So not all Minnesota after all for today, and I'll make my third play this one.

Teens and eighties. Nothing wrong with using photos you also used for the challenge looking for specific ones-digits. I might not be able to do much today, because I haven't been around Georgia hardly at all.
