Comment on laughs in 12 hours, while still driving through texas

Bullshit on the first panel, that’s driving through the narrow part of Michigan, slivers of the narrow parts of 2 states, and a sliver of Illinois. Which is only four 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.

  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.

    In 1925, some 57 years after Congress had first attempted to specify the spot, the problems surrounding the originally misplaced marker were brought up before the US Supreme Court. In order to amicably remedy this original surveying error, the US Supreme Court then redefined the point of the Four Corners, officially moving the Four Corners point roughly 1,800 feet (550 m) east, to where the original survey had first held it to be all along, and where it remains to this day, duly marked.[6] This initial survey error has resulted in some longstanding misunderstandings about the correct location of the Four Corners marker, some of which remain to this day.
    
    well shoot. I guess I gobbled up this longstanding misunderstanding, even though it has been corrected for longer than it was ever wrong.

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.
