Southbound
on I-81. Mile markers here are small. |
This
is what SB I-81 looks like in this part of Virginia. |
This
is an interesting sign, especially the commas. |
Apparently,
VA 262 used to be VA 175, but I don't know the circumstances surrounding the
change. |
Cool
"Old" shield here. |
I'm
pretty sure the only reason I took this road was to get a county. Yes,
actually, it was the independent city of Staunton that I wanted. |
Just
a few I-81 shields here. |
An
I-81 SB scene past the Staunton exit. |
I-64
WB is about to join up with I-81 SB. This is the sign for I-64 EB to
Richmond. |
Wow,
4/5 mile. Like I can accurately gauge 4/5 of a mile. |
Here's
the actual exit. |
Two
different fonts for the shields. |
A
pretty good idea of what the interstates look like from Staunton to
Lexington. |
At
US 11. US 340 ends at US 11 close to this exit. |
If
you squint, you can see that we're about to cross US 11 again, this time
near Lexington. |
Ooh,
I think this is a cool picture. |
Bye
bye I-64! |
Yes,
this is the same US 60 that goes through Bartlesville, OK, and Phoenix, AZ. |
I
needed gas, and a stop to get Lexington on the county map, so I got off at
US 60 West. |
It
was kinda pretty. |
I
like the little "Trucks" banner on the top of the I-64 shield. |
I
really wanted to go down US 60 EB for a bit, to get to US 501 in Buena
Vista. So this is US 60 East going down a big hill. |
And
here's our turn. |
The
lovely, and slightly blurry, town of Buena Vista. |
Following
US 501 SB through town. |
And
out of town, too. |
I
guess VA 130 is the alternate route to Lynchburg. |
I
think US 501 sounds good to me. We turn right and go over a cool river
with big rocks in it, but the pictures are bad, so they don't get to be on
the website. |
US
501 SB gets windy and hilly now. Woooo!!! |
See?
Windy! |
Here
we are at VA 122. |
Oh,
the things I do to get my county map filled. I'm going to Bedford on
VA 122 South. |
