Hi,<br>
<br>
As a meta comment. I have been trying to follow all of the US<br>
route/shield discussions over the past couple of months. I don't feel<br>
confident that I understand the consensus on how to map these<br>
routes+shields and do not feel comfortable editing them. When the dust<br>
settles, could somebody that know what they are doing update the wiki<br>
for the rest of us.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Jason<br>
