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.
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’s part of the joke
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
