I’m game!
I’ve traveled big hunks of I-40 from Bakersfield to Greensboro, NC.
I’ve seen all of I-65 from just outside of Mobile, AL to Chicago.
And last but not least, I’ve seen I-24 from Chattanooga to Paducah, KY (almost all of it).
Seems to be a theme here. Perhaps I should go back and revisit the tail ends of the highways that I missed.
You’re absolutely correct, as attested to in Interstate 24 From Wikipedia and I do seem to recall that there’s a stretch where you can actually see a little chunk of Alabama. One of those “See Seven States from Rock City” type things.
How many have been to Lookout Mountain, while we’re on a topic similar to that?
I grew up in Northern California, nowhere near any of the routes mentioned in the OP. (I guess I-40 was closest, but it’s still hundreds of miles away.) The closest interstate was the western edge of I-80. I didn’t realize the length of that highway - which I always associated with the Bay Bridge - until I found myself on it in New Jersey, 3000 miles away.
Now I’m on the eastern edge of I-94.
Nope, Central Kentucky.
Yeah, it was a little weird driving around Reno a few years ago, on and around I-80. Felt like home, but not home, you know?
I live a few miles from I-5 which runs from the Canadian border in Washington to the Mexican border in California. I have traveled the full length of it, never in one trip though.
I also live about 20 miles south of I-90, the longest single interstate in the US. You can drive from Seattle to Boston and never use another roadway.
I work next to I-405, a north/south bypass of I-5 in Seattle.
I-10 is the closest physically to me. Houston is the intersection of I-10 and I-45, which is an interstate that never crosses a state line.
Great piece of trivia! Mislabeled road, I suppose.
So are you in southern Indiana somewhere between Louisville and Cincinnati, then?
Growing up, 65 was by far our closest interstate–we were about an hour away from both Bowling Green and Elizabethtown, and almost 2 away from Nashville. I guess we were probably an hour and a half from the section of 64 that runs through southern Indiana, too.
We lived in NC for a while, and I could throw a rock from the parking lot of my job and hit 40.
Now 75 is my closest interstate, about an hour away. In an hour and a half I can be on 64, or on 40 in about 2 hours.
No, still in Central Kentucky, same as yesterday!
5 miles from I-40, about 10 to I-85, but am closest to (what will eventually be) I-73.
(/waves at all the folks from Raleigh-Durham).
Another Middle Tennessean with I-65 running right through my little town!
I’ve been thinking about driving to Traverse City, Michigan this summer and was surprised to find out that the bulk of my trip would be on I-65 (467 miles through Tennessee, Kentucky and into Indiana).
Incidentally, I’ve also lived near I-10 in San Antonio and I-35 in Fort Worth.
I managed to miss that post. Personally, I blame the cat who insists on sitting between me and the laptop. Damn cat.
That would put you…around Paris or so?
Not far off, Shelby County.
You didn’t happen to get the name “Jelly Roll” in the Air Force, by chance?
I’m nearest to I-55, I-44, and I-70.
As a matter of fact, I am only 2 blocks from I-55 and I can see Clydesdales from my upstairs window.
Where am I?
I currently live 3/10 of a mile from I-40 and drive under it to/from work, 2,548 miles east of its west end in Barstow, CA. (There’s a distance to Barstow sign down the road a piece that keeps getting stolen.)
That’d be St Louis, Bob.
You got it.
