The website was down for a couple weeks, I think? I don't know; I couldn't get in unless I handed Squarespace a big chunk of change, and I've been crazy busy lately. I thought they were demanding I give them double the money I usually give them per year, unless I took my domain and handed it to them as an offering. I thought they were holding my website ransom until I forked over the domain. But it turns out, Squarespace is a black hole sucking up domains from all over the Internet until they hold a monopoly of all the virtual real estate all across the Internet, and my domain already got sucked in! So I was mistaken in believing that they were holding my website ransom until they got my domain in their clutches, because they already had forcibly taken the domain! My mistake. It wasn't a hostage situation; it was a full-scale capture. I guess I don't get to choose who hosts my website or who my domain's registrar is, anymore.

Anyway, Squarespace has my domain, my website, the website's builder platform, and my money. Is this a common thing happening elsewhere across the Internet? Is there anywhere better I can go?

I went on a huge trip in September and October, and I have some new photos to add. Plus, there's a new national park with content that's coming soon. But I have been wildly busy with my job and such, so updates will likely be coming slowly and gradually.

I completed the addition of a new Midwestern state to the site! I finished getting photos of every numbered Wisconsin highway earlier this year, and I have been working on writing the Wisconsin portion of the website since early summer. Now, all 178 numbered highways in Wisconsin have photos and information that you can experience. Click the Wisconsin shape below to check out the front page of the Wisconsin chapter of the website! As usual, click a numbered route's highway shield image to read about that route.

A new state is about to join the other 5 already represented on the site! Soon you will be able to see a page for every route in that state. It's probably not difficult to guess which state is coming next. But I will have that state visible to all audiences within the next week. I have rough drafts of all 164 new pages completed and ready to go! The only remaining work is to check each page for bugs and fix any minor issues.

​If you have paid attention to my Flickr page, you might have noticed another addition of more than 2000 photos. Those photos are from my big 2025 trip through Minnesota and North Dakota to Montana, Washington, and California! I drove all of Interstate 15 on this trip. I also traversed long stretches of US Route 10, Interstate 90, Interstate 94, and US Route 2. I have now driven the entire length of US Route 52, with the small exception of 7 miles I had to skip in southeast Minnesota because of a construction detour. This trip resulted in about 10 to 12 new photos for the national-scale portion of the website. Those photo updates will take place soon, but the shield cutout photos on the national main page have already been changed. See if you can identify which shield photos have changed on that main menu page.

I am working on the big update. The big update isn't visible yet, but I can tell you that I-55 in southern Illinois has some new pictures now.

Iowa 24 has a new scene photo.
Iowa 150 has a new scene photo.
Illinois 82 has a new shield image on the Illinois menu page.

The pages for Indiana Routes 2, 3, 4, 8, and 9 all have additional photos now!

Today, I added a couple new photos to the Michigan Highway 15 page.

Stay tuned this summer, because by the end of this summer, I will add a whole new state to the website! That's what I have been working on behind the scenes, explaining the relative lack of public updates.

Photos were updated on pages for Ohio 28, Ohio 46, Ohio 54, Ohio 72, Ohio 91, Ohio 160, Ohio 306, Ohio 325, Ohio 327, Ohio 554, Ohio 588, Ohio 850, and I-275 in Ohio. US Route 62 in Ohio and Ohio 41 each has a new cover page.

It's been a few months since I updated things on this site, and it's been a few months so I went anywhere interesting. But I got back from a trip to Ohio, West Virginia, and western Pennsylvania a week ago, so I have new photos to post!

For today, I added new cover photos to US Route 20 in Indiana, as well as Ohio Routes 8, 10, 84, 85, 91, 167, 193, 306, and 608.

All remaining US Route pages in Iowa have bonus photo galleries now.  Those US Route pages with new photos are US Route 65, US Route 67, US Route 69, US Route 71, US Route 75, US Route 136, US Route 151, US Route 169, and US Route 218.

Where should I add bonus photo galleries next?
