That drives you through two different countries, imagine if you started and ended that drive in North Yorkshire driving in a straight line. I think this is what they meant by "the European mind cannot comprehend" shoutout.

Texas isn't a county, though, is it? US states are more analogous to countries than counties. My example is both in one country (the UK) and passing through 2 (England and Scotland) at the same time! I was really just being silly because the UK is so small but it takes so long to get anywhere.

But yah, America is big.
