Well, considering that I didn't put anything in last year (laziness or just had no desire) I'll summarize 2024.

Lots of back roads in IL to black the state out County-wise on the way along US-61 south of Memphis - which blacked-out US-61 in full nationally.
I have now 2 interstates that can be blacked out in full with a day's drive - 10 and 40.
I've finished off the following Interstates
- 2, 22, 69E, 69C, 69 in Hou area, 45, the then-unsigned 344 and 335 and future 240 (OK), Houston's inner loop and tollways sans TX-99 (which marks Beltway 8 according to this site), DFW's toll system sans San Reyburn, the rest of San Antonio's loop 410, 49 in AR/MO (again!)
- Knocked off Missori from the State-but-no-Capital list
- Finally got onto I-59 somewhere
The highlight is that I drove roads in the UK for the first time (so driving on the wrong side - from my point of view ;) ) - which gave me some M3 and M4 - I came close to the Magic Roundabout but but forgot about it! >:( - Got some A and B roads too - including a long-winded one-lane road.  Train-wise, the London Underground, DLR, Eurostar, RER and Paris Metro have been used.

Yesterday's drive to PA did not do much for me Travel Mapping wise beyond clarifying that the first new PA 981 alignment north of Mount Pleasant is open.

I started around 4 AM by taking US 322 WB to PA 970 NB to I-80 WB to Brookville, and took PA 36 SB and PA 28 SB to US 422 WB in Kittanning and then took US 422 WB to Butler getting off at PA 68.  I looped around Butler a bit before heading west on PA 68, and then took PA 528 to US 19 back to PA 68 in Zelienople.  I had to backtrack on quadrant routes to PA 588 as I had intended to take PA 288 WB by the Zelienople Airport to Ellwood City where I looped a bit before taking PA 351 WB to PA 18 SB.  I stayed on PA 18 SB past the I-76 interchange construction, Beaver Falls, New Brighton, and Rochester crossing the Monaca-Rochester Bridge (taking photos from a nearby park) and then took PA 51 NB across the East Rochester-Monaca Bridge to PA 65 SB taking the Crows Run Rd/Freedom Crider Rd/Freedom Rd corridor east to PA 228 and then I-79.

I took I-79 SB to I-70 EB for documentation and then took US 119 SB to PA 31 EB to PA 981 NB (for reclinching the new alignment between PA 819 and the Norvelt area south of PA 130).  I stayed on PA 981 NB all the way to PA 819 NB to PA 66 NB to PA 66 ALT NB back to PA 66 NB to US 422 EB.  I stopped briefly to view Margaret Rd underneath US 422 before taking US 422 EB to US 219 SB to US 22 EB to I-99/US 220 NB to US 322 EB back to Harrisburg.
