 County Roads and Highways that are referred to by number seem to confuse
 the geocoder.

 --This well-formed county road address doesn't geocode to the correct
 location[[BR]]
 select (addy).*,*
 from geocode('16725 Co Rd 24, Plymouth, MN 55447')

 --Spelled out in long form also gets an incorrect location[[BR]]
 select (addy).*,*
 from geocode('16725 County Road 24, Plymouth, MN 55447')

 --But it works when you put in just the number of the road without saying
 county road[[BR]]
 select (addy).*,*
 from geocode('16725 24, Plymouth, MN 55447')

 --Also works when referring to the same road by name[[BR]]

 select (addy).*,*
 from geocode('16725 Rockford Road, Plymouth, MN 55447')


 --Similar example for County Highway (doesn't work)[[BR]]
 select (addy).*,*
 from geocode('13800 County Hwy 9, Andover, MN 55304')

 --Works with just the number of the hwy[[BR]]
 select (addy).*,*
 from geocode('13800 9, Andover, MN 55304')
