I haven't travelled much on I-70 (rummages through mental rolodex) if at all, but I have gone all the way through Pennsylvania on I-80. At one point there's a sign larger than the one we're talking about, that proudly proclaims Highest point on Interstate 80 east of the Mississippi.
Every time I pass it, I expect to see a family station wagon / minivan parked on the shoulder nearby, with Mom and the chillens posing in front of it while Dad takes a photo. I've never actually seen same, but we live in hope.
I am sure it has happened. I used to live in Vermont and there are 2 signs on US 7--one in Glastenbury that says "Highest Point on US 7--1280 Feet" and the other one, just before the Canadian border says "45th Parallel--Halfway between the Equator and North Pole". I just get a kick out of that esoteric stuff.
