| Here are the "State Welcome Signs" for each of the 26 states I visited. They are shown in the order in which these states were first visited during my trip, not the order in which these photographs were taken. (For example, I took the photos of the Ohio and Illinois signs on my way back east.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| NEW YORK Bordering State: Pennsylvania Location: Interstate 86 Note: This picture was taken on Day 16 during the early morning, but it appears darker in this picture than it really was. |

| PENNSYLVANIA Bordering State: New York Location: Route 220, near Sayre Note: I only drove on Route 220 to get a picture of this sign, since it was only about a half-mile from Route 17. There was no sign for NY on the northbound side. This is the first welcome sign I've ever seen to include an Internet address. www.state.pa.us |
