It doesn't confuse me one bit because we do it here now too. That way people don't fall asleep at the wheel. A lesson that we had to learn the hard way.
Wanna drive a straight road, take a trip on US 50 across Nevada some day.

It's the loneliest highway in America or so they say. I'd much rather drive it than take the Interstate though. When I get the chance and am in no particular hurry, I usually get off the Interstate and take alternate routes. Less traffic, more scenery, more history, better food and it usually doesn't add much if anything to the time but it sure does add to the enjoyment.

Man, the perspective is really weird in that photo. Mirage?

Coincidently I was driving on HWY 50 today in Carson City! Not the lonely part but funny to see this post. Back home now tonight though via our wonderful aviation industry! Have to say we flew pretty straight from Reno to Seattle.

I'm with you on this.

We don't have the straightest roads since the Mississippi River twists and turns so much but we have the straightest, longest bridges as you can see in the photo of the Lake Ponchartrain causeway here.

In the 70s River Ridge was a nice rural community. Now it's so overpopulated I moved across the river. This area is about the same as River Ridge was in 1960.

Someone keep screwing with the location markers....or the map controls are flaky. Every time I look....it changes.

Man I can't imagine someone taking the time to do something so petty.

I know. It must be the software.

I had to laugh, I started out with the tractor, tried to make it orange, that didn't work, and then realized it covered half of Eastern NC. Back to the regular icon, which is now Kubota orange.
I have the page stored as a favorite and check in once in a while to see who has been added. It used to be when you added your name you wound up at the bottom of the list, then it looks like they all got scrambled. Who cares, we need more pins from New Zealand! Maybe someone could import a little lamb icon...

I did notice that now the icons are labeled. Whoever did that, thanks, until it gets too crowded.
