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

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.
