These spurs (and some other routes) are all we have left to get pictures of before the Second Great Decommissioning. Some already have pictures, even in the requested direction; however, they are not the best quality, or there are important angles missing. If you can get any of these pictures I would be most grateful. They are listed generally in order of importance. The first listing is the end direction that is needed; additional directions at its highway (non-town) end are listed after it. This wanted list does not specifically include mileage signs, but they can be taken as well. For most highways below, the first sign heading away from the end is also wanted, though not nearly as much of a priority. If you're short on film, feel free to skip that shot; those leaving state parks aren't really needed. NB=northbound, SB=southbound, EB=eastbound, WB=westbound. Strikethru with initials indicates obtained ends; JM=Jeff Morrison; KB=Kurt Berge; JH=Jason Hancock. Italicized strikethru indicates pictures taken June 15-16 with disposable cameras - my digital one inexplicably refused to take good shots - and so they probably exist, but I'm not sure how they turned out.
If anyone is in the Knoxville/Bloomfield area and can get 156 and 273, that would be a really big help!

The following highways currently only have an "End" picture and maybe one other direction. More from all angles, or better quality shots, at its highway end are wanted. In addition, the first sign heading away from its town end is also wanted if you have the time or film. These are roughly all the same priority.
