In fact, there is no US Route 200. I took this photo on Montana Highway 200, the longest state highway in the nation.
Day 108
I did not take this photo on US Route 200

I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Ive been right where you are just about 9 months ago
What’s funny is, when you hit Washington state (if you’re coming on this side of the Columbia), our state highways have signs with the numbers in George Washington heads! That way you know the difference between a state highway and a federal one. Took me a little bit to understand that, but I think it’s totally neat! :) All states should do something unique like that for their state highways….but that’s just my opinion. :)
Checked it out in wiki, it’s 701 mi long .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montana_Highway_200
that’s one loooonnnngggg highway !!
for a lonnnngggg walk.
With that arrow, how do you know if you’re coming or going?
Another one for the bookmarks.
You can tell you’re getting up into the mountains now because of the change of scenery. Won’t be long now. I like the yellow/white whatever growing there in the green on the ground. Brings some color to it all. And again, the blue of that sky out there is almost blinding it’s so blue! Wow.
He’s not near the mts yet. He has this same topography for at least 20 more days.
Thanks. I know he’s not actually IN the mountains yet is why I added in “Won’t be long now” but he is much closer than he was. Just felt that because he’s coming upon some more trees etc. that he must be getting closer.
I wonder what the yellow/white stuff is? I agree – I’m liking the more diverse colors.
I bet the pine trees smell incredible! You should be seeing come critters too.
Ohio’s state highways are designated with the number in an outline of Ohio. I always assumed growing up that that was how ALL state highways were designated – with the number in an outline of its state. A George Washington Head outline sounds pretty darn cool.
The sign looks low on the pole. Doesn’t it?
I was on this highway just today for work! LOL. Fairview end though.
