Just a couple roads left - can you spot them?

Number 59 - Highway 10 into Hastings, MN from Prescott, WI
Fun fact - In 2017 Dan Gaz, and I (Thom Rieck) biked across Minnesota, setting a world record for the fastest bike team across Minnesota - West to East. We covered 194 miles in 9 hours and 21 minutes and ended our ride in Prescott, WI. It was fun to visit again!
Number 6 - Highway 63 into Winona... kinda
Highway 63 into Winona is getting a face lift, so all of the signs are down (you can almost make out the pile from my picture spot).

The only truly gravel road that I encountered on the whole ride - MN 74
Minnesota Highway 74 has a short ~5 mile section that is gravel. However, it does happens to wind through some very beautiful areas of southeast Minnesota, so I can't fault it too much. If you're in the area and have an adventure bike or don't mind a little gravel, it's a fun ride!

Number 53 - Highway MN 48 into Cloverdale, MN
And the winner of the Minnesota Border Crossing "Most Amount of Signs" is....
This border crossing made up for the missing sign on the previous road. This crossing not only had a nice stone monument, but also had a metal sign PLUS an interpretive sign noting some sign history.

Number 54 - MN70 into Pine City, MN
I ran across another road today that didn't have a sign! I was looking for a Type 3 (metal sign) and there were plenty of others, but no "Welcome to Minnesota" signs... there's even a little parking lot where you can walk down to the river, which would also be a perfect spot for the Welcome sign.
