Just a minor correction, Arizona is not the only state that doesn't follow daylight savings. Hawaii doesn't, either! Arizona is, however, the only contiguous US state that doesn't follow daylight savings.

Holy cow. I actually did this on a huge road trip in 2021. Worse yet, we started crossing the Hopi/Navajo Narions the day after DST started in March. The entire time, we had no idea what time it was and even our phones couldnāt keep up until we got to Flagstaff. Was just a caveat of our month long cross-country trip, but I didnāt realize we couldāve broken world records š

I literally live at the border of the Navajo/Hopi Reservation right at the Navajo County sign where you stop to explain in the video (on the Navajo Nation side, also its the board for Navajo and Apache Counties)! We make that drive at least a couple of times month or more to travel into Tuba City and to Winslow if we want to take the second mesa route.

OMG, my husband and I (and our dogs) unintentionally did a similar sort of road trip driving from Mexican Hat, UT to Kanab, UT in May 2019!
We needed to be in Kanab by like 8am to make it to the in-person permit lotteries for Coyote Buttes North and South. We left Mexican Hat at 4am and didn't realize there were this many time zone changes between UT, AZ, and Navajo Nation. My phone was set to auto-update the time based on location, but my husband's phone and the car's clock was not. What further complicated it was that the car's clock was set to our home time (CA), but my husband manually set his phone to UT time. The time on my phone kept changing and I was just baffled and never knew what time it was during the 3.5 hour drive. It also wasn't clear if my phone registered the difference between Navajo Nation and the rest of AZ. Anyway, we made it in time for the lotteries and got permits for Coyote Buttes South.
The route we took was 163 S to 160 W to 98 W to 89, if anyone is wondering.

When flying back to the US from Korea a couple months ago I passed from March 12 to March 13 back to March 12 on one flight. I always liked that since I keep a daily journal. I recorded the dates in my journal in the order it happened, the first time I've ever had "First March 12, 2023" and "Second March 13, 2023" etc. lol

Next challenge would be to maximise time spent in a single Sunday (i.e. running away from Monday): Counter starts at 0:00 time at start location, and stops at 23:59 time at finish location. No date switch allowed between these two points in time. Do not forget to choose the date of the endeavor wisely, i.e. the Sunday where DST switch occurs.

Great job as always š. You did miss to mention Big and Small diomede islands here off the coast of Alaska, one belongs to US the other one to Russia. They are 2.3 miles apart I believe, but 21 hours of difference, and 20 hours in the summer. The only reason they are not a full 24 hours is because of the local time regulations. But yeah hop on a boat and 5 minutes later you are in the past or future depending on the direction. Cheers š» š

TOPIC VIDEO! This was a fun one! WITHOUT CHEATING by re-crossing the same border twice I believe this is the only place on earth you can switch timezones 7 or more times in less than 2 hours. KEEP IN MIND THOUGH, this only works 8 months out of the year. ALSO remember to be respectful to tribal authorities when entering reservations, and feel free to give them your business and tourism! Take time to learn about them! Welcome to the complicated world of Navajo and Hopi reservations in the USA....ENJOY! Thanks SURFSHARK for sponsoring! Get 3 months free with the Code GEONOW at www.surfshark.deals/geonow UPDATE: -Sorry made a small mistake: Hawaii and the territoires also do not observe DST in the USA -Okay OTHER THAN THE POLES where you could run in a circle and cross all 24 timezones in like 3 seconds. Geez
