2025.  This five-week trip (6/5-7/9 ) focused on Illinois and Indiana.  I also covered Louisville and Cincinnati.  As usual on these trips, every night while on the road, I posted a small sampling of photos taken that day at Instagram.

The roughly 5,500 photos from this trip have been added to my website.  After inserting each day’s batch at my site, I also posted a sampling of about a dozen photos from each day’s shooting here at my blog and some other photos to Flickr.

2026.  This year’s five-week trip (5/28 -7/3) will focus on Tennessee, Kentucky, and some northern Alabama.  As with other trips like the one described above, I’ll be posting to Instagram nightly while on the road.  When I return home, I’ll be posting a sampling of photos to Flickr and posts to this blog as I add things to my website.

Annual Winter Projects. I comb my website for dead external links, and the map links to see what’s changed (repainted, demolished, etc.) and update the descriptions throughout the more than 3,500 webpages.  I post to this blog with some of these good news/bad news discoveries.

For more detailed updates about my website & other stuff, check out the What’s New  page at my website.

If you’re into signs, you might enjoy my book “Vintage Signs of America” which was published in 2018.  You can buy it at Amazon and other online book stores.

My website (roadarch.com) has been my focus for more than 25 years now.  This blog is meant as a much smaller-scale companion which includes many places/things not “worthy” of my website.
