PETA doesn't like this Idaho road. I've driven by it many a time. Chicken Dinner Road. :laugh:

PETA can go suck a hot, fresh egg straight out of the factory.

I just don't care that much about PETA's silliness.

Which one? Your link led to the same Chicken Dinner story.

Some sites automatically include a link back to the original article when you copy some text from them. That's what happened here. I did not actually go to the "5-mile / 10-mile" article.
EXAMPLE:
Here's a copy-and-paste from the "stuff" below the main article:

Note how the "Read more here" back-link to the entire article appears automatically in my copy-selection even though I did not select it.
This gives them automatic credit for their copied stuff. I could have manually deleted it, but I figure if they're good enough to let me freely copy stuff from them, I'll be good enough to let them give themselves credit automatically.

That's all well and good, but I still have no idea what it was you were trying to link to.

Hawkmoon, I did not link to anything. The "Read more here" link in Reply #4 was automatically added on to my quote about 5 and 10 mile roads being 6 miles apart. I was trying to point out that the 6 miles difference question on that web page was more interesting to me than the Chicken Dinner Road kerfuffle manufactured by PETA.
As I tried to explain:

Just for the sake of closure, here is the embedded link to the 5 / 10 mile road question which appears toward the bottom of the OP's article:
https://www.idahostatesman.com/latest-news/article218159450.html
I guess at that point in the maps, one should have been named "Eleven Mile Road," or the other one "Four Mile Road." :rofl: Much ado.... just like the chicken road name thing.
