I've spent the last 6 weeks or so working through a mammoth backlog going back to 2004 in an effort to update existing pages and create new sections of the website. Now online is a fledgling Michigan page with a handful of photos from our Interstate 80 trip in September 2005 and Carter Buchanan's November 2004 Midwest trip. These trips also represent the bulk of the Ohio updates that now [...]
You may have noticed that the AARoads home page looks different or that AARoadtrips now redirects visitors to AARoads. These are a few changes that we have had in the works for a long time now and is part of an overall reorganization that we have wanted. AARoadtrips guides are now split between Mid-Altantic Roads @ AARoads and Midwest Roads @ AARoads. LoneStarRoads is also now again a part of [...]
New South Carolina State Highway Sign Design. Graphic created by AARoads. Just caught this on a recent Southeast Roads Yahoo! Group post http://groups.yahoo.com/group/seroads/message/7077; on June 22, 2007,1 SCDOT unveiled a new highway shield design to replace the current black and white box shields used throughout the Palmetto State. The state follows Oklahoma (2006) and Vermont (1995) as states that changed from a drab shield design. A grandfathering [...]
Unfortunately the servers at the hosting company for AARoads.com and the AARoads Blog went down on Thursday for a period of almost 48 hours. During this shut down, email, blog posts and comments made throughout this week (April 2-6) were lost. Things were restored last evening and hopefully will not undergo such a long down period again. Thanks for bearing with us.
For many years people have wondered for what the AA in AARoads.com stood? Well here's the answer, All About Roads. Our sites strive to cover roads anywhere and everywhere, from future Interstates to rural back roads and everything in between. What started out in 1997 and 1998 respectively grew into an eight-domain website collection covering roads from Hawaii to Maine, from Los Angeles to New York, and more recently from [...]
I know that there are many of us road enthusiasts out there who also consider themselves weather junkies. Personally for me, I know several road people that are either meteorologists, studying weather in college, or are about as obsessive about the weather as they are roads. I fall under the category of road junkie who loves weather, though I did study it in college. So what happens when the two [...]
Well it seems that I have been updating Interstate Guide, Interstate Guide, Interstate Guide. However, there is a light at the end of that tunnel. With the recent completion of Interstate 27 and Interstate 110 in Texas (as well as a picture of an 80 mph speed limit sign in West Texas on Interstate 20, sorry Kevin), it seems like the next stage is to update some photos on some [...]
Well it's finally come together, the AARoads Blog. I've always wanted a forum for the site, but finding someone to help us set it up, let alone trying to figure it out ourselves, has been tedious at best, so we gave up on the concept. A few months ago Justin posed the idea of instead creating a blog, similar to the ones he had at tropicalturnpikes.com and bayciti.net. Both Andy [...]
