New Travels and Stats Discussion

[clong]

Took a Thanksgiving trip.
Finally got the section of NC I-77 between I-277 and I-285, finished the I-95/I-495 loop around DC, the last 1/2 mile of I-395 in DC (was closed when I was there last for construction) and I-295 in DC/MD. Just missed finishing I-66 due to a wrong turn amongst construction on the Arlington Memorial Bridge.
New mileage in VA and/or MD on US1, US15, US17, US29, US250, US301
Several VA state route sections (VA3, VA20, VA22, VA53, VA208, VA231)
A little mileage on MD state routes (MD 5, MD 231, MD 234, MD236)

Also got 8 new counties along the way.

I just spent a week on the road, to escape the stress of the season. I spent several days in Georgia, getting there via southeastern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee, and both Carolinas, popping into southeastern Alabama and far northern Florida, and returning home via a more easterly route.

My main goal was to re-complete the rest of Georgia's 159 counties, for my "round 2" count. I had completed those counties (as well as the rest of the U.S.) in "round 1" more than a decade ago. This time, I'm trying to improve on my "round 1" county clinches, including trying to visit county seats rather than just settling for crossing the county line. Georgia now is my 23rd state (plus D.C.) re-completed, and my eighth one this year.

I clinched US 84 in Georgia on this trip, to match my clinch earlier this year of US 84's west end in Colorado and New Mexico. Still a lot of missing mileage in the middle, in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and western Alabama. I also re-clinched US 119, for a realignment in southeastern Kentucky.

Shorter route clinches: both segments of GA 94, and the isolated FL 2 segment connecting them; both segments of GA 177, to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge; GA 123; GA 200; GA 266; GA 376; AL 173; US 15 Business in Hartsville SC; SC 102; NC 145; NC 14; VA 87; VA 270; and VA 457.

A trip Sunday to check out the new segment of Corridor Q in Kentucky & Virginia allowed me to clinch a little over 50 routes overall, bringing me to 70% completion in Kentucky. My .list now has over 10,000 "good" lines.

Lots of new Connecticut mileage for me Friday-Sunday as part of a weekend trip. Highlight in terms of clinching was finishing US 1 in the state, which finished the state's US routes for me, but I also got some new stretches of freeway and a couple hundred miles worth of state routes, bringing me from around 60% complete pre-Friday to over 67% in the state.

If I cared enough, I'm at the point where I could probably finish the state in a couple of weekends, as most of my missing mileage is concentrated in the eastern half of the state. Instead, I'll probably continue chipping away as part of other trips.

Work trip yesterday allowed for a little in-state clinching:
Finished the segments of US43 between Hamilton and Russellville and Russellville and Tuscumbia (had a short segment in Russellville previously completed). That gives me a Tuscaloosa to TN state line completion of the route and leaves only the short segment of the Natchez in far NW AL and a portion of the Huntsville perimeter that is currently included in select freeways remaining north of Tuscaloosa/Birmingham/I-20 for active systems in AL.

Also got mileage on AL 13,17,33,36 and 101 and clinches of AL 74 and 184.

The 46 miles on active systems left me 5 miles short of moving into 2nd in AL for active systems and the 112 miles on active+preview was enough to move me into 2nd in AL.

The rankings by state, system, etc.

We have rankings by region, e.g. https://travelmapping.net/user/region.php?u=ntallyn&rg=AB (scroll to the end).
We do not yet have rankings by system - just an open issue on Github: https://github.com/TravelMapping/Web/issues/97

This is the one I remember seeing in the past. But every time I would look for it, I would end up at the MapView. But I finally found the link to the region. Apparently, I'm the only one who doesn't know to click on the name of the region. 

So...with the activation of the Australian A roads, I decided to take a look at my handful of miles around Adelaide. And I found something interesting...

When I look at my "Stats by Region" and click on South Australia, I see that I rank #3 for distance, and I see the list at the bottom of the page (https://travelmapping.net/user/region.php?units=miles&u=ntallyn&rg=AUS-SA).

However, when I look at my "Stats by System" and click on Australia A Roads, I see that I rank #6 for distance, but the list of travelers does not appear (https://travelmapping.net/user/system.php?units=miles&u=ntallyn&sys=ausa).

It was mentioned earlier in the thread that rankings by system don't exist. Is this new? If so, it would be nice to see the individuals listed at the end of the page similar to the rankings by region. Or is this a programming/display issue?

Not entirely sure what you're asking here, so sorry if I misunderstood. You answered the "where is the list of travelers" question in your message, so are you asking why you're ranked 3 on one page and 6 in the other? One is your ranking in AUS-SA, and the other is your ranking on A Roads in all of Australia.

At the bottom of the Region page (first attachment) is the list of 3 travelers who (so far) have claimed mileage in SA. At the bottom of the System page (second attachment) are simply the highest numbered A roads in Australia. The top of that page shows a rank. But nowhere on the page does it show the individual travelers.

It is a programming issue. The table was never implemented. There is already an issue in the backlog: Web #97 List of travelers who have traveled a system.

Jim asked for things to be implemented on the other thread. You could raise your topic there: https://forum.travelmapping.net/index.php?topic=3604.msg20939#msg20939

If anyone has other things, especially on the web front end side of things, that you'd like me to try to prioritize, let me know.

Travel has been minimal this last year (outside of going to India back in February just prior to Covid blowing up), but did a Portland to Albany and back run, picking up River Rd between OR 219 in St Paul and OR 99EB in Salem.
Could make for a decent Salem-Newberg route, but I doubt the OTC or ODOT would be interested.
But, basically route 214 west from Woodburn to St Paul, and 219 south from St Paul to Salem.

a Portland to Albany and back run

This makes me want to write a trollishly sincere ode to the NEI 9 corridor.
