A few years ago, I entered the state of Washington with my parents for the first time, in a drive to Seattle. I noticed that the two digit highways seemed to have branches that started with the same two digits, and the pattern was apparent. I\u2019d never seen such a coherent system. Washington is also full of beautiful terrain, from Clarkston to Bellingham, Metaline Falls to Vancouver, and everything in between. I loved to drive. It seemed like a logical way to spend my time. I decided that this is something I should do. So I did it. I finished Washington, but I wasn\u2019t ready to stop driving. It was a ton of fun, and I decided that I\u2019d like to try to tackle all fifty states. That\u2019s unlikely to happen, but I coincidentally moved to Wyoming shortly after completing Washington State, and decided that I would attempt to drive every mile of highway in the state of Wyoming.<\/p>\n<p>A couple years later, I found myself having finished Wyoming. Coincidentally, I ended up moving at around the same time to Arizona, so here I go again. I still am not ready to stop, and once I am done here I will have 3 of 50 states done.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a rough timetable for completion?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It took me basically 2 years to finish each of Washington and Wyoming, so we\u2019ll assume the same here. December 2012 is the expected completion date. I bet I finish it before that though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note on mileposts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have exact mileposts for Arizona&#8217;s highways, so you\u2019ll notice I use the abbreviation AMP followed by a round number. This is the approximate milepost and the sign in question can be found somewhere in between it and the next highest number. For instance, if I list\u00a0<strong>AMP: <\/strong>24, then you can assume the sign is between mileposts 24 and 25 (regardless of whether the pictures are being taken in an increasing or decreasing milepost situation)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Arizonaroutes.org?
