Unfortunately, milepost 11 no longer exists at this location, but it would have likely been located along this fragment.

The majority of this short fragment is still being used as an active road and is in very good condition. The north end is really more of a trace, past the access road, and has not been checked for pavement yet. The south end, where the old highway leaves the active road and curves south under the modern U.S. 197 embankment fill still has some very heavily overgrown pavement.

Faint traces of the old highway at the north end of the fragment.

Fragment pavement curving to the east and a strange stake that proved to be a red herring in the search for mileposts.

I just spotted this [image below]. Right within a hundred? feet of where MP 11 would have belonged on the old 197.. Take a look at the photo. See the white marks on the small pole? It sure looks like one of the 1924 mileage posts.

Milepost red herring!

On our April 15 trip, Kirk and I encountered several wooden posts similar to this one, three of them at locations very near where mileposts would have once stood. It almost makes me wonder if someone was marking out these old locations! This post, in particular, appears to have been painted white at one point in time, adding to my suspicions.
