Well that works too. I think I kind of dislike *=yes tags for some
reason although I guess I might add it to mine anyway. And I guess
scenic=yes doesn't automatically imply that it is part of an official
national/state network which is why I was suggesting a network tag. I
haven't uploaded mine yet since I'm still working on things.
