I sure wish I was doing these rides in real time! Unfortunately, I'm just pulling from my archives for #50StateJourney, a BlueSky event that I just discovered has been cancelled. Bummer. Maybe I'll just keep posting state signs in alphabetical order.
A black motorcycle in profile parked on the side of the road in front of an Illinois welcome sign. To the right is a green cornfield. The road enters the frame from the lower left and runs straight to its vanishing point in the distance. There is almost no traffic. To the left of the road in the distance is a large prison facility with a tall red and white radio tower, and further to the left, a shorter guard tower. Midday sun under clear skies.

US Route 136 westbound enters #Illinois at Danville. The facility to the left is the Danville Correctional Center.

A blue road sign on two wooden posts reading "Welcome to Idaho." Above are attached smaller signs Reading "19 Miles H" (to hospital). Behind the sign is a patch of green grass and a freshly plowed field; and further in the distance, low mountainous hills. A smaller sign in the distance identifies the road as US Route 89 South. The sky is overcast, and the sunlight filtered.
Welcome to Idaho

City Hall Landing on the Savannah River in Savannah, GA on a rainy day in June 2005. The photo was not labeled so I had to Google map drive it until I found the spot. Found it! #50StateJourney #Week10Georgia
I used to #travel to Atlanta once a month for work. It took a while for the city to grow on me. It’s big and sprawling and HOT in the summer, but spring and fall can be gorgeous if you know where to look.
I remember this day vividly

The Miami skyline is lit up at night seen from a boat out on the waters of Biscayne Bay. The city lights create a glow against the night sky.
