New Travels and Stats Discussion

[Bickendan]

Here in Kolkata, with routings being so uncertain, I've picked up the Google reported portion of WB 1 to the Maa Flyover, and that to the Park St Circus.

Other than that, it's been doing a lot of walking and picking up a segment of the underground metro.

Took a day drive to Seattle a couple days ago now that I'm back in the States.
Clinched WA 505, 122, 508, 702, 99, 526, 509, and I-405, while picking up mileage on US 12, WA 507, 7, and the Everett side of 525.

Running the urban portion of 7 and immediately following it with the length of 99 was a slog.

I did pick up an atlas of India from Metskers Maps, which managed to be printed and published after India's NH renumbering but used the old ones :smh:

A conference in Toronto gave me the chance to pick up some miles/kilometers this week.  I went north first so I could ski a little at Titus Mountain outside Malone, crossed into Canada at Cornwall, drove to Toronto from there, and returned home via Niagara/Buffalo.

I started the trip over 600 miles short of the elusive 100,000 mile club in active+preview and got more than half way there, now needing just under 250.

Here are some TM-relevant highlights of my travels:

- US 11 between the Northway and a little east of Malone for about 60 new miles.
- First travels on and clinch of both NY 122 and NY 95.
- Almost 20 new miles on NY 37, and a small piece of NY 37C (first travels).
- About 190 new miles on ON 401.
- First bit of ON 62 when getting dinner off 401.
- First travels on and clinch of Don Valley Parkway.
- First travels on ON 427
- Clinched the 13 miles I was missing of ON 403.
- Clinched ON 405, though I'm not sure how I had part but not all of it before.  Was it not connected up to QEW until fairly recently (like, in the last 10+ years)?
- Finished off NY 61.
- About 15 new miles by taking US 62 from Niagara Falls down to I-290.
- Closed my last NY 5 gap east of Buffalo, between Pembroke and Batavia.
- New NY 33 miles from Batavia to I-490, and two small bits of NY 33A.
- First travels on and clinch of NY 204 (which includes one of those two small 33A bits).
- New segment of NY 31 between I-590 and I-490.

Added about 225 miles overall in Ontario.
Added about 150 miles overall in New York.
About 75 new usaus miles.

It was also my A3's first time into Canada, and my first time overall since 2015.

Been connected to the QEW since the beginning when it was opened in 1963.

Last week was my Spring Break clinch-a-thon, focused on western Kentucky this time. Most of the time was spent driving 2 miles and turning left, driving 3 miles and turning right, driving 1.5 miles and turning around, etc, in 14-hour bursts. Weather was great, traffic was light, and there were only 2 closed roads.

Overall I added more than 2500 miles, clinched 330 routes (3 of which were new discoveries), and got to within 1200 miles (4.5%) of finishing Kentucky. I'm also now over 50% done with Tennessee.

I also reduced my "missing numbers" on the route numbers table by 10 (to 13) and passed 200,000 segments traveled.

I see you clinched KY 525, eliminating that roadblock from taking the #1 spot for the "Lowest-numbered route you haven't been on" game on the aaroads forum. You are now ahead of me, with my lowest untraveled route number (counting Virginia secondary routes, a few county routes, and unsigned routes excluded from TM) of 661.

I'm on the last day of my own Kentucky trip, but need to figure out how to get home from the westernmost tip of KY while avoiding more cold, or otherwise bad weather.

Maybe this won't take you too far out of the way. Stay warm!

It would've, since my plan was to close out KY by heading west into MO, via the Dorena-Hickman ferry. I'm now down in northern Mississippi, plotting my next move.

My most notable feats so far on this trip: clinching US 421 overall; re-clinching US 68 overall; and re-clinching the rest of Kentucky's counties (for "round 2", trying for more solid coverage than in "round 1"). No time yet to update my list file, that'll probably wait until I'm back home.

I have started my summary of the Florida trip via this linked Google Doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/14vuyP194RtpYoX_eyleZbBWEYqXfJm_3c62nJ-BZnCE/edit?usp=sharing).
