  • Pennsylvania - we totally missed these signs despite travelling in and out of the state from MD, DE, and NJ

  • New Jersey - we missed these signs too after travelling to and from Philadelphia.
  • Ohio - we missed this sign along I-70
  • Illinois - I took a photo of this sign along I-70, but somehow I can't find it. I think I lost the photos from this day.
