^ Presuming you rolled back via Minnesota, we'd have been in the state at the same time. I just flew back from Minneapolis today.

Yesterday I got back from a three day clinching trip to clean up my New England mileage. Friday featured a clinch of the north end of US 5 (finishing the route), some new mileage on US 302 and US 3, and cleaning up my US 2 mileage around Bethel. Saturday had an incidental clinch of NH 115 before filling in the big gap in my US 3 mileage before heading back north so I could finish clinching US 302 to Portland, along with a clinch of ME 77 (I also grabbed pieces of ME 22 and ME 9 in Portland to clean that up, which may have been a mistake given how early everything closes there; it also didn't occur to me until too late that I could have cut that short and hopped on I-295 after getting ME 22 east of there and the signed but "might not actually be part of the route" north end of ME 77 to ME 100). Sunday unified my main and Maine clinches of US 1 along with the eastern end of US 4 (finishing the route), main Spaulding Turnpike section of NH 16, bypass US 1 (and US 1A in York), the eastern end of NH 101 (finishing the route), and incidental mileage of NH/MA 1A and MA 110, tidying up some stuff from the Newburyport meet.
Along the way this was met with horrible traffic Saturday, especially on I-93 at exit 32 and the lane drop in Franconia Notch, and being stuck for miles behind slowpokes on US 302, which delayed me by a fair amount getting to Portland. Sunday had trouble spots too (especially getting on the MassPike), but fortunately Google Maps correctly factored them into the drive time.

Ja get caught in rush hour traffic? If you were looking for a place to eat and didn't see much, you gotta get a little off the (roadgeekly) beaten path and head in town around Congress St or the Old Port, Fore St area-ish. There's also The Great Lost Bear on Forest Ave (US302), where mapcat & I met up a few years back.

Wait... OK I see what you mean. That's just a missing TO. There's an END sign northbound.
WRT ME77, the City of Portland has plans to covert State & High streets to 2-way traffic. I am not happy about this.
Looks like you're still working on vdeane.list, judging by the stuff near the NH/ME line.
Your US2 travels around Bethel looked fine before though?
