Welcome to Eric Buchanan's Highway Photos Web Site!



[US101 North in Monterey County]

This is US101 North in San Ardo in 1986. This was taken in Monterey County. I used to do this trip about once a year.

This hobby website is intended for highway enthusiasts and people who work with highways, to allow you to see many photos from highway trips across the US and Canada.  If you're a fan of roads, you have come to the right place. This site emphasizes road trips heavily, and doesn't include any exit lists (too many others have done that much better than I can.)


I also have a few sign photos. I was one of the first sites to host a large number of highway photos. Of course my photos of Interstate 80 are the most popular on my entire site.


I cover all kinds of highways. Interstate highways, US Highways, state highways, county highways, and Canadian highways. And also I have photos of former highways.


Please contribute to my site by sending in your highway. photos on my submissions page.

Thank you to all the contributors to my site! I am open to all highway related correspondence and people have written me with information about highways I did not know at all. I cannot provide travel advice nor map directions, as lined out in the frequently asked questions page.

My first set of links is of Interstates and US Highways (including some former US Highways), and the other categories are at the bottom of the page.

For those of you who know me guess what: The virus is still going on where I live. I have not been sick since late February 2020. I am still seriously burned out from covid even if I never had it. I have not done a lot of road trips due to gas prices. I cannot believe the gas prices around here. Unlike the last seven winters this winter is warm overall where I live. That helps with how bad the utility rates have gotten out here. It has only snowed twice that I have seen this year in the local mountains. I like the snow. My town gets 18 inches of rain in an average rain year. We have had 49 inches already! Lately it has rained tons late at night and early in the morning. It can really rain during the day too. We have had thunderstorms. The wind has been bad a few days. However last winter was worse. In July 2000 I should have taken photos of US81 by York, Nebraska and one of US34 by Waco, Nebraska. I was too freaked out by the road conditions! If my mom and I go to Texas via I80 to US81 south I will get those photos! I was on US81 a lot in Texas. Of course some of that is I35 now. My neighborhood has not changed a lot over the years but there are more cars parked on the street. Even in front of the expensive houses. There is less vacant space close to my neighborhood now. Other parts of my town have more vacant space. There are no regular developments going in at all and they are not building any businesses. They are just putting in three story high density houses that no one will live in for long! It is to make the town more affordable and it really just makes homes more expensive not less! About two miles from my old neighborhood there were areas where the mouth breathers lived in the 1980s. Those people all moved out, the houses have been redone, and it is a $1.6 million dollar neighborhood now!




This is from October 1997. I took this through one of my windows of Elaine and Skanky. I still see cats around my neighborhood related to them including the two cat photos after this one.

[Cat photos]

This cat is related to my 1990s cats. She lives about a quarter of a mile away. She is really affectionate and she does not bite.

This is from 2023. My town does not build anything like this anymore. They should! This end of town has almost no new houses being built. It has been the same since the 1970s overall.

[neighborhood]

This is the neighborhood that is about a tenth of a mile away from mine. My town does not build houses like this anymore! I took this because the hills looked good.

houses

This is from early 2006. It snows on my local hills a few times a year at most usually. The view from here is nothing like this now. There are three  lines of houses in this photo. Now in 2024 there is nothing but row houses between there and the buildings way off in the distance.
