Exactly what I was going to say.  My only 600 is another Virginia secondary.  This one on US 15.  August 6, 2005.

I have to rebel!  I will never post a Virginia secondary route!  Never, I say!  Do you hear me?  I must post a different 600!

It's actually not a noble statement at all; it's just that Virginia is one of the two contiguous states I've never really entered.

Anyway, here's a 600 that's Ohio-flavored.

Avatar is the last interesting highway I clinched.

National collection status: Every US Route and (fully built) Interstate has a photo now! Just Alaska and Hawaii left!

I have no reason to post a Virginia secondary... because I've never been to Virginia.

On that note, I got back from Fordyce earlier today, and here's a few new routes that I got.

AR-8 in Fordyce.



AR-46 in Sheridan.



And AR-48 in Farindale.

No Virginia secondaries from me either, because I hadn't started doing photography yet when I lived near there.

What I can give you, though, is US 601.


Jim

Here's a Pennsylvania 601 (much smaller than the massive Turnpike sign) in Somerset.  May 26, 2002.



And I can bring in a US 601 also, this one in Orangeburg, South Carolina.  January 7, 2017.
