Copying your kids' trends is a great way to make sure they stop doing it. (Unless it involves drugs and alcohol, then they have a new excuse, so I've heard.)

Why are kids suddenly into an obscure Robert Plant song?

Closest I can get is I-76/676 and NJ 168, Camden, NJ:

[Jim]

Exit for New York 206 from I-88.  June 17, 2006.



Ohio 8 and I-76.  June 1, 2009.



I'd better get myself ready to exit, it's only 25 miles to the exit for Illinois 26 from the other I-88.  Not sure it's what we're really looking for in this thread, but at least this shows that the junction exists and 6/8 day is tough, so I'll go with it.  July 29, 2010.



It's also odd to me that the exit number here and the exit that's supposed to be 25 miles away is only 22.  Maybe they think that a 22-mile or 23-mile advanced sign would be ridiculous but a nice number like 25 is perfectly normal and useful.

Maybe the 25 miles is the distance to Dixon, not the interchange?  It looks like Dixon is a couple of miles off the freeway.
