SR 600 (Lee and Scott Counties)
State Route 600 is a secondary state highway in Lee County and Scott County, Virginia, running 21.2 miles (34.1 km) east from State Route 604 near State Route 70 and Blackwater to U.S. Route 23, U.S. Route 58, and U.S. Route 421 at Clinchport. Most of SR 600 runs in a general north-northeast direction through river valleys from Dona near the Tennessee state line to Clinchport; at Dona it turns northwest over the mountains towards Blackwater. The 0.02-mile (0.03 km) State Route 696 continues west-southwest from Dona to the state line, where it becomes State Route 33.
When the state secondary numbers were assigned in the 1930s, SR 600 ended several miles short of Clinchport; the rest of the current route was part of State Route 70, an old alignment of US 23/58 between Pattonsville and Clinchport. That part of SR 70 became part State Route 66 in 1940. SR 66 was moved onto US 23/58 in 1943, transferring its former alignment to the secondary system; the piece east of SR 600 became an extension of SR 600.

“Trouble has no necessary connection with discouragement—discouragement has a germ of its own, as different from trouble as arthritis is different from a stiff joint.”
