More nerdy highway numbers

[nibot]

From a post in the roadgeek newsgroup misc.transport.road:

• SD/ND 1804 and SD/ND 1806 in the Dakotas which follow the Missouri River, so numbered for the years Lewis and Clark passed through the area.

• NM 2001 in Alamogordo, which goes to the International Space Hall of Fame.

• NM 6563 in Sunspot, which according to Steve Riner's site is numbered for the wavelength, 6563 Angstroms, of the Balmer hydrogen transition of sunlight (whatever that is). [sic] The road serves an observatory.
