Took a 14 hour ride on Saturday...

New clinches:  PA 731, PA 484, US 30 Bus (Bedford), US 220 Bus (Bedford), PA 326, US 219 MD (reclinch - new bypass at I-68), MD 36, PA 96, PA 764, US 220 Bus (Altoona), PA 350, PA 915.

New mileage: PA 26, PA 869, PA 36, PA 453, PA 45

In addition to the plethora of PA 76 shields in Bedford, there is also a PA 220 shield - (https://goo.gl/maps/TgxP1dHqTiGbR13h6 ); also found a PA 522 shield (been there at least 12 yrs - https://goo.gl/maps/HnHuX3fGQRN9DtATA).

Found a vintage button copy sign on PA 350 - https://goo.gl/maps/5LiKKdcWFiwEdC5f8

With this ride I only have the closed 1 mile segment of MD 147 left to finished the posted state highway system in Maryland...

^I edited your post mapmikey to fix the first GSV link.

Anyway, I have been working quite a bit on my VA and MD clinching the last couple weeks as well.  That will be continuing as I go down to my parents' again the middle of next week to hopefully see my soon-to-be new nephew and celebrate my mom's birthday for once.

Now for the trip to my parents' house yesterday.  Highlights beyond clinching include seeing the new I-95 SB configuration in Fredericksburg, SR 619 between US 29/VA 55 and US 1, and the I-95 DDI at SR 630 in Stafford.

This trip all but completed Hagerstown, MD, (still need US 40 between MD 64 and US 40 ALT on the west side of Frederick), and the eastern panhandle of WV (if you consider it as everything US 522 and points east).

Clinched: MD 63, MD 65, MD 632, WV 230, WV 480, *WV 115, VA 55, VA 215, VA 3, VA 204, VA 347, VA 214, VA 202, VA 203, VA 3 BUS (Warsaw), VA 33, **VA 227
New Mileage: US 29 (VA), US 360 (VA), VA 200

*Still not posted at WV 9   :'(
** Yes, I drove SR 602 from US 17 to VA 227, because it should all be VA 227 (cue mapmikey rant).

My mom and I did another NC round Saturday for Smithfield's Chicken-N-BBQ.  I got a bit of trouble because I passed one on US 64 BUS (Wendell, NC) about 10 miles or so west of the one we actually ate at in Zebulon.  We wanted to get this done before the birth of my nephew becomes more of a factor in our plans as this week continues.

I probably only made most of the Charlotte Webinar on roadwaywiz because of the NC 97 bridge closure that led me to bailing on my planned clinch of that route.

Clinched:  NC 56, NC 751, NC 540, I-540 (NC), US 64 BUS (Wendell, NC), NC 481 BUS (Enfield), US 301 BUS (Halifax, NC), NC/VA 186
New Mileage:  NC 58, NC 581, US 15 (NC), US 64 (NC), NC 97, NC 96, US 301 (NC), NC 33, NC 481, NC 125, NC 903, NC 561, NC 46, VA 35

I also clinched SR 671 from VA 35 to Franklin, and it is such a straight road that I do not understand how it is not part of VA 186 proper.

I got to do some more work on Central VA yesterday on the way towards Goochland to see my friend.  Also my nephew was born yesterday so I hope to see him before I head back to PA.  (I was not able to visit him in the hospital because of some virus that continues to impact our lives.)  Merry Christmas everyone!!

Clinched: VA 137, VA 378, VA 47, VA 59, US 460 BUS (Pamplin City, VA), US 460 BUS (Farmville, VA), VA 133, US 15 BUS (Farmville, VA), US 15 ALT (Farmville, VA), VA 45, VA 396, VA 310, VA 313 (unsigned-dependent on future in HB??)
New Mileage: VA 46, VA 49, VA 40, US 15 (VA), VA 6

I left my parents' house very early on Sunday Morning so that I could close my gap on US 1 in VA/DC/MD and finish all non-usanp TM mileage in DC without much congested fanfare.  I finally did get to see my nephew Saturday before leaving, but his eyes were closed so I do not think he saw me.

Clinched:  US 1 (VA/DC/MD)*, VA 242, VA 235, VA 241, VA 233, VA 110, VA 27, I-395 (DC)**, US 1 ALT (Washington, DC), I-695 (DC), MD 459, MD 208, MD 500, MD 501, US 1 ALT (Baltimore, MD), MD 372, MD 166, MD 588, MD 542, MD 41
New Mileage: VA 236, VA 120, MD 201, MD 450, MD 212, MD 410, MD 7 (White Marsh), ***MD 147

*Gives me full clinch of US 1 from NC 55 in Holly Springs to the north end of the I-95 Concurrency in New York City
**Was clinched in VA a long time ago.  And yes, I did not see any changes related to the recent renumbering of DC interstates approved by AASHTO.
***Well this clinch is On Hold due to that same closure that keeps mapmikey from clinching it.

We had plans to go to Virginia Beach to visit my brother's family for Christmas, but as we were heading out of town, he called to let us know his son had just tested positive for Covid. So we turned the trip into a road trip of sorts, focusing on collecting counties, but getting quite a few new highways along the way. Absolutely nothing got clinched, but many miles were added.

NC: I-40, US 70, I-85, US 15, US 158
VA: I-85, US 58, I-95, I-295, VA 36, VA 144, I-95, I-85, US 460, US 360, US 501
NC: US 501, NC 49, US 70, I-85, I-73, and bits and pieces of I-277, I-485, US 29, US 74, NC 27, NC 49, NC 51 around Charlotte
SC: US 321 (plus concurrencies), US 17

With son at grandparents, took advantage of the childcare and went for a drive through East Georgia today getting lots of mileage on US 278, US 78 and US 221, finally completing GA 10 Loop around Athens and clinching US 378 via a loop into SC around Clarks Hill Lake.  That should chip into the 1,300 mile lead for 2nd place in Georgia hsford has on me, but I have more to do to catch charliezeb with a 1,900 mile lead for 1st place.  I usually just track my trips on this site, but feel I should have the top spot for miles driven in my home state at least.  ;-)  But, if I focus on US Highway gaps first, that at least gets me double mileage in Georgia!

Nothing of significance in the last few weeks of 2021, but looking back at the year, it was a pretty good one for me.  I tracked 4615 miles in the US on the year (that's among everything TM-clinchable, not just new mileage for me), plus my 1128 in Iceland (all new).  That topped my 4572 miles from 2020.

Looking for a big 2022 with a ride out to the northern Rockies planned for mid-summer.

Pretty good year for me too, especially in comparison to 2020.

Despite not leaving the U.S., my mileage increased in 38 regions (all except AK, HI, PR, ND, SD, & the New England states, plus the states/DC where I have 100%). I lost my 100% clinch of Illinois a few days before the end of the year when the Delhi bypass on US 67 was added. So next time I head to Chicago I'll have to leave about 5-6 hours earlier than usual. Oh well, it will finally give me an opportunity to check out the local Buc-ee's knockoff, Wally's.

Total 2021 new mileage: 31,159.46 mi. Top 5 regions: PA, KY, OK, NM, TX (increasing anywhere from 1,489 - 4,330 new miles).
New clinches: 1,458. +512 in KY, +205 in PA, +103 in MD. After usaky and usapa, the system with the most new clinches was usausb (+167).
New interstates clinched: 2, which completed the signed interstates. I also reclinched I-49, I-710, and I-840 after they were extended.
New US highways clinched: 24, US 6 & US 30 being the longest. I also reclinched US 175.

Stats for previous years:

2020: +14,604.58 mi / +1,681 clinches
2019: +15,887.33 mi / +778
2018: +21,284.12 mi / +653
2017: +19,547.92 mi / +582
2016: +17,101.26 mi / +514
2015: +28,363.75 mi / +553
2014: +13,046.83 mi / +380
2013: +14,214.20 mi / +412 (I joined CHM in 2012)

My 2021 year-end summary:
No new mileage.
Mileage decreased due to relocations & cancellations.

Don't you count the "miles down the rabbit hole" when investigating code? I think you got a lot in 2021 :D
Happy new 2022!

I know that I got at least 15,000 new miles in 2021.  I would need code help to determine the exact number though.

The log files from the site updates are stored on Jim's server. I don't know the right location (he posted it somewhere on the forum) but you could easily compare the log file mileage from 2020-12-31 and 2021-12-31 without any coding.
