Pictures, from my last trip, up for grabs...
Dennis S. Gulyas
of film (8 rolls from this trip), another week for it to get developed. :-l
and then three days to write all this up.
Outside of the Ohio portion, which will go to a certain, unnamed Kent
St.Univ website :-)(eventully).
I usually frown upon people CCing their posts on MTR to my e-mail address.
This will be one of my few exceptions. DO CC me any requests, as well as
post requests on MTR so I know who would want want.
Hopefully I will process requests quicker than I did last year with my
Lincoln Highway trip.

> Fallen Rock Zone sign on a yellow diamond (typical Kentucky English?)
These are seen in New York as well. I guess the idea is that rocks
have fallen in the past.
> A DO NOT ENTER sign in front of a phone booth
Do the coins obey the sign?
> Sign saying Rest area ahead...No rest rooms (what kind of rest area
> is that?)
I see you've never driven I-80 in New Jersey. Kind of annoying,
especially since at at least one of them, the only indication is a
small "NO TOILET FACILITIES" sign on the ramp itself -- no warning of
any kind on any of the advance guide signs. How about calling these
parking areas rather than rest areas?
> Yellow diamond showing two two lane of traffic merging to form three
> lanes of traffic (in a perfect Y shape)
Does anyone have a shot of the warning sign at the south end of the
Palisades Interstate Parkway where it merges onto the George
Washington Bridge? The two lanes of the PIP come around a 270-degree
curve; at the end of the curve the two lanes merge into one and, at
the same time, join with the I-95 through lanes. These three elements
are combined into one really cool sign.

Here's the deal...whatever he sends me, I'll send you if you want it.
That okay? :-)
Adam Froehlig
>you want it. That okay? :-)
How 'bout vice-versa, since I asked first...:oP
Seriously, though, I don't see why we both couldn't get what
we requested. Though you should get priority for Arkansas
since that's YOUR state and me get priority for Mississippi
since that's MY state.

>poles/pipe)
Most of Kentucky's BGS supports have latticework. Where did you take
this picture?
>Blue sign stating ramp 1B I-71S to I-65 (with a 3 beneith it)
I think this is the tenth-mile marker on these ramps. While Lexington
and Cincinnati do not have the ramp markers numbered, Louisville does.
>BGS saying Ky 480 to Ky 61 (for a control city)
In Bullitt County, just a few miles from where one of my aunts and two
of my uncles live.
>Fallen Rock Zone sign on a yellow diamond (typical Kentucky English?)
I think the idea is to warn motorists that fallen rocks may be in the
roadway, not that rocks may be falling on them as they drive along.
I'd say the risk is greater of striking a fallen rock than of being
struck by a falling rock. ;-)
>Sign for the Southern Branch of the Lincoln Heritage Highway (as compared to
>the Lincoln Hgw)
I have a page on the Lincoln Heritage trail, complete with scans of a
promotional brochure from the 1970s, if anyone is interested. The LHT
seems to be a forgotten entity in Kentucky now. There are very few
signs, and the ones which exist are old and faded. They used to be
very prominent in the central part of the state.
>Sign assembly for business routes Miss 7 (green triangle on top), US 49E
>(red color), and US 82 (blue color)
>Business Route signs for US 49E & 82 (same color scheme as above)
I'd like to have photos of these. Unfortunately, the way my newsreader
is set up, I can't CC you on the request.
>Sign saying Rest area ahead...No rest rooms (what kind of rest area is
>that?)
I think the standard language is "limited facilities." ;-)
>Picture of the twin bridges for US 65, 84, and 98 with their signs in the

I'd like to have a copy of this one, too.
