I once spent 12 hours traveling across 3 states.
One state was gone in 3 hours, the next in about 5 MINUTES since it was just the tip, and the remaining 9 took me to the other side. Granted, at the time, the speed limit was 60 the entire way, and the vehicle was limited to 55 for the trailer.
Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania?
I was thinking Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia. Technically more like 15 minutes going through Hagerstown, MD but I'm not even from the area and just have a fascination with border quirks
The 9 hour state has to be either PA or TN, either that or they crossed the Mississippi River and cut across the tip of Missouri or Illinois. That last state has to be one of the bigger ones. I suppose Florida is also a 9 hour state
The mind boggles at the amount of unnecessary taxpayer money being spent to support Point Roberts.
Yes! My favorite part is that when they realized that it was south of the 49th parallel, Britain tried to see if they could just have it. Obviously that didn't happen.
Also, look up Angle Inlet.
No doubt you've seen this BBC website - https://www.bbc.com/travel/columns/places-that-dont-belong
I just discovered it today
I'm guessing Washington, Idaho, and Montana.
That panhandle is thicker than it appears. Takes an hour to drive across it.
Not when you drive Montana speeds. Montana is like a mini Texas.
But are Montana speeds legal in Idaho? Thought Idaho actually has a speed limit of 70
