This isn't 69 anymore

Motorists who inadvertently turn onto old U.S. Highway 69 just north of Pleasanton will find this unusual reminder that the road is no longer a highway. A red "No" slash has been drawn through the shield. The back of the sign notes that the Linn County road department owns the sign. The current U.S. 69 opened about a half mile east of here earlier this year. (Copyright David L. Backlin, July 2010/Used with permission)
