"END Interstate 229" sign as the interstate draws to a
close. The final two exits are just ahead. (Photo taken

Interstate 229 North at Exit 14B - U.S. 71/U.S. 59 North -
Maryville, and Exit 14C - Interstate 29 North - Council
Bluffs. The proximity of the "END" sign to these signs +
driving about 65 mph + a digital camera that takes a few
seconds to save a picture = a final desperation shot like
this one! Now y'all know where I get my oil changed at!
