Today, while the family was away at Disneyland, I took a break from my obsessive family tree investigations 🙂 to update the highway pages.
Yet again, another delayed update. This time it is because I’ve been conducting family tree research with some cousins over at ancestry.com. The research is proving fruitful, and I’m looking forward to a family reunion with this part of the familial line in Nashville TN in June 2006. Who knows, I might do some roadgeeking while I’m there :-). So on to the updates… which start, as usual, with mailed in or posted updates to the links list.
Updated information on the following routes, based on my research(1), and contributions of information on leads (via direct mail or Usenet) from Robert Cruickshank(2), Paul D. DeRocco(3), Mark F(4), Cameron Kaiser(5), Dominic Ielati(6), Ron Langum(7), Scott Nazelrod(8), Steve Varner(9): Route 4(6), Route 18(3), Route 35(7), Route 49(6), Route 133(1), Route 238(1), Route I-5(4), I-215(1), I-238(2).
Updated some statistics on the progress of the exit mile numbering. Thanks to Don Howe of Caltrans for this information. I was unable to update legislative links due to system maintenance of the Assembly bill system.
