I&#8217;ve done a lot since January. On the Wyoming front, I did the Casper drive I mentioned in the last update and then was planning on heading up to Sheridan and getting highways in that area. That didn&#8217;t end up happening because I had to go up to South Dakota, but I got a bunch of stuff in northeastern Wyoming, so that&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>I also went to my first road enthusiast meeting in Tulsa, and that was a ton of fun. My route there was US-87 South all the way to San Angelo, Tex. where I took US-67 &#8220;North&#8221; to Rockwall (a suburb east of Dallas), then TX 205 North to TX 78 North to Oklahoma 78, then 75 North to Tulsa. I drove some freeways in Tulsa and had a great time at the meet, and then left on US-75 North to US-400 in Kansas, then US-400 West to Granada, Colorado. I then took 385 North to 40 West home. There&#8217;s tons of signs in Texas, so my queue is still gigantic.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m caught up on Wyoming stuff, and the queue now stands as follows (when I did the drive in parenthesis). I normally do states in reverse alphabetical order no matter what, but I reversed that because I have a ton of Colorado stuff to get up, some of which dates back to August. Colorado was getting shafted since it starts with &#8220;C,&#8221; and Texas is going to be a project so I&#8217;d like to save that for last (something to do over the dog days of summer). I&#8217;m about halfway done with the Colorado queue as I write this. As it stands:<\/p>\n<p><em>Colorado<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I-70 (US-36\/Byers to I-270)- <em>8\/2009<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-40 (US-385 to I-70\/Limon)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-40 (US-36\/Byers to I-70\/Aurora)- <em>8\/2009<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-36 (KS State Line to I-25)- <em>8\/2009<\/em><\/li>\n<li>I-25 (US-85\/CO-86 to New Mexico)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-24 (I-25 to US-285)- <em>11\/2009<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-6 (NE State Line to US-385) &#8211; <em>10\/2009<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-6 (I-76 Concurrency)- <em>4\/2009<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-6 (I-25\/6th Ave to CO-93)- <em>11\/2009<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Kansas<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>US-75 (OK State Line to US-400)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-400 (US-75 to CO State Line)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>New Mexico<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I-25 (CO State Line to US-64) &#8211; <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-87 (All) &#8211; <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Oklahoma<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I-444 (All)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>I-244 (All)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>OK-78 (TX State Line to US-75)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-75 (OK-78 to KS State Line)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>South Dakota<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>US-385 (SD-89\/Pringle to US-16\/Sheridan Lake)- <em>4\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>I-190 (All)- <em>4\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>SD-89 (US-18 to US-16)- <em>4\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>SD-34 (I-90\/Sturgis to WY State Line) &#8211; <em>4\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-18 (WY State Line to SD-89) &#8211; <em>4\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-16 (US-385\/Pringle to I-90)- <em>4\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-14 (I-190 to SD-34\/Whitewood)- <em>4\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Texas<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>FM 700 (Big Spring, All, if I decide to do FMs)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>TX-205 (I-30 to TX-78)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-87 (NM Line to US-67)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>TX-78 (TX-205 to OK State Line)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<li>US-67 (US-87 to TX-205)- <em>2\/2010<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So that&#8217;s a lot. Back on the Wyoming front, I&#8217;ll in all likelihood be going back to Idaho for some part of the summer, so on the way out I&#8217;m going to clinch the US-191\/WYO 150\/WYO 376\/WYO 430 part and on the way back do the US-189\/WYO 28\/WYO 220\/WYO 235\/WYO 350\/WYO 351, which should give me a clinched Western Wyoming. Over Labor Day I can do another big drive like I did last year in the northern part, and I should have the highway system wrapped up over Labor Day. I&#8217;ll take a couple months off before announcing my next state, which in all likelihood will be where I go to grad school. The weird thing there is I&#8217;m looking at a few grad schools in Texas, and there&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m driving every mile of state highway in Texas in two years, so if that happens I&#8217;m not sure what I&#8217;ll do. If I&#8217;m in Dallas I may do Oklahoma, and if I&#8217;m in College Station I have no idea what I&#8217;ll do (Louisiana maybe, but that&#8217;s pretty far from Louisiana)- maybe all the US Routes and Interstates or something, but that seems kind of lame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry for the lack of post for a while- I&#8217;ve been too busy driving and getting content pages up on this site to hassle with little things like that.
