So, I’ve driven a few more roads and cleared the queue. Despite my best financial reasoning, I went ahead and clinched a bunch of northern Wyoming highways, which will make the Labor Day trip a lot easier. I also got a couple odds and ends in Colorado, and here in a few days I’m going to drive back to Idaho. The plan back to Idaho is to clinch WYO 376, 430, US-191, and possibly WYO 150. The rest of Western Wyoming I’ll get on my way back in August.
Anyway, the queue as it stands now looks something like:
Wyoming
- I-25 (all)
- I-25 Business (Buffalo)
- I-90 (MT Line to the east side of Gillette)
- I-90 Business (Buffalo)
- U.S. 87 (MT Line to Sheridan, everything south of where it re-merges with I-90 south of Story)
- U.S. 87 Business (Buffalo)
- WYO 190
- WYO 191
- WYO 192
- WYO 196
- WYO 259
- WYO 330
- WYO 332
- WYO 334
- WYO 337
- WYO 338
- WYO 339
- WYO 345
Colorado
- US-36 (I-25 to CO-66)
- CO-66 (US-36 to I-25)
Oklahoma
- US-75 (OK-78 to KS State Line)- 2/2010
South Dakota
- US-385 (SD-89/Pringle to US-16/Sheridan Lake)- 4/2010
- I-190 (All)- 4/2010
- SD-89 (US-18 to US-16)- 4/2010
- SD-34 (I-90/Sturgis to WY State Line) – 4/2010
- US-18 (WY State Line to SD-89) – 4/2010
- US-16 (US-385/Pringle to I-90)- 4/2010
- US-14 (I-190 to SD-34/Whitewood)- 4/2010
Texas
- FM 700 (Big Spring, All, if I decide to do FMs)- 2/2010
- TX-205 (I-30 to TX-78)- 2/2010
- US-87 (NM Line to US-67)- 2/2010
- TX-78 (TX-205 to OK State Line)- 2/2010
As far as my next state is concerned- it’s likely to be either Arizona or Nebraska, both of which have neat state highway systems. Oklahoma is still an option if I end up in Dallas, but that looks increasingly unlikely, Utah is somewhat of a possibility, and Idaho is also an outlier- Idaho would be weird since I’d be living in Moscow which is so separated from the rest of the state, but is also too far from Oregon or Montana to make me want to do that, and I’ve already done Washington. I guess I’d do Idaho if I were there, since I already have a good jump on it, but that’s my least favorite option from both a school standpoint and a highway system standpoint.
