![]() Since I was 3 years old, I've been drawing highways on pieces of paper (and making interchanges out of clay) - my favorite is a bunch of my father's old business cards that I taped together and drew several multicolored cities on. (Yes, I ended that sentence with a preposition.) I also love reading maps, and going on new highways to new places. That's why I've been to all 46 states, 4 commonwealths, and 1 district of the United States. I've also seen 1 American territory, 5 Canadian provinces, and 3 European countries. I've taken road photos in many of those locations and put them up here, along with many people's generously submitted photos, for your enjoyment.

The above is a clickable map - the red states, provinces, etc. are places viewable on this website. If you're bad at geography, think Italy is swallowing the rest of Europe, don't know what that little thing is that I put next to Cuba, or can't seem to get your mouse onto Washington, DC, I'll be nice and provide the individual links for you: | ||||

Because this is for more than one state, I include it here, but keep in mind that these very informative links will not be found on the various pages.

Below are three interchanges I've drawn recently, in order of complexity. The first, green one is a 10-way interchange (four through highways, two beginning there). The second (black, red, and blue) has 11 spokes coming out of the hub: five through highways and one starting in the interchange. Finally, the third, dark blue one has 6 through highways for a total of 12 spokes, taking up more than half of the 9" x 12" page.
