        At least you have a road that reaches diagonally across WA. If Alaska did it would take a lot longer than that

      Windsor to Sioux Lookout is similar if you stay in Ontario.

      California is pretty similar if you’re going north to South… if you avoid commute hours. Then you’re looking at. 16 hour drive.

      That’s the joke. Americans say Europeans can travel 8 hours and touch x number of states but in America you don’t leave any.

      I think you can also drive in California in a straight line for 16 hours. I mapped it once during a slow work day lol

        Yeah, I5 will take you from Mexico to Canada. And that drive across CA is long as shit when you’re going north to South.

        And CA has some world-famous high-traffic spots around places like LA, which makes it even worse during commute hours.

        San Diego to Oregon is, IMHO, better done as a 2 day drive. And both of those days are still going to suck.

      What’s with the dip down to Marfa? I mean, it would be dark by the time you go there, so I guess watch for the lights?

        Idk tbh. Not sure why this route detoured instead of staying on the highway, but it only shaves off like 45 minutes

    And how many German “Länder” did that trip drive through? Drive for 8 hours, still in US; drive for 8 hours, still in Germany would be more correct.

    Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled shitposts…

    It’s also possible to drive through about ten countries in 8 hours in Central Europe.

    A state is part of a country and comparing a state to a country in this context didn’t make sense. “Hey this subregion is smaller than your region”. In the same area you drive through at least 4 Germany states.

    If you really want to play look at this.

    Uh, you can drive for longer than that and still be in the same province here in Canada.

      Yup. Just checked in Ontario, and if you want to drive from Windsor to Kenora, that’s a 24 hour drive. If you shortcut through the US, it’s only 19 hours

    First panels point is kind of weak, that’s driving through the narrow part of Michigan, slivers of the narrow parts of 2 states, a sliver of Illinois, and the narrow part of Wisconsin… which is only five states. Texas is an obvious example of a long drive, but also try going through Georgia, lengthwise. That’s at least a 7 hour drive.

    Edit: nvm I see Iowa now. Still is something that only works when you start at a specific location and is probably one of the very very few examples of getting through more than a few states in 8 hours in the Midwest.

      I have walked through 4 states in less than a second. Utah>Colorado>New Mexico >Arizona. USA is so small! Even a baby could crawl it.

        but um akctshually you probably didn’t actually walk the borders because the landmark isn’t really at the geographical 4 corners

          It is legally and officially at the 4 corners. The earlier surveying mistake doesn’t matter because official state boundaries were changed to match the marker.

      That route goes through Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.

        Oh is that Iowa? I can barely see the border.

        Alright, it’s technically correct at 6 states. Probably the only spot on the Midwest where you could pull this off.
