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.

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 couldn’t keep up until we got to Flagstaff. Was just a caveat of our month long cross-country trip, but I didn’t realize we could’ve broken world records 😂

[@JesseKuiper]

Now imagine Belgium and the Netherlands having different timezones. Then there would be a patchwork of timezones within one village (Baarle-Nassau/Hertog).

[@broccoli9308]

For even more confusion you could have done the trip the night of the DST change around 3 AM (or whenever is the change).

[@_mortiam]

But without DST it's all just one time zone, if I got that right

[@firstcynic92]

I drove through that area several years ago. My phone did automatically change time zone when going into the Navajo nation, but didn't when I drove through the Hopi nation.

[@IndigenousHistoryNow]

Hawaii also doesn’t follow daylight savings. I only learned this because I’m taking online classes at University of Hawaii from another state and for 3 days missed class because I was an hour early and thought Zoom was malfunctioning😅😅

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.

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.

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.

[@nikola_tomic]

Great job as always 👏. 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 🍻 😉

[@jimgorycki4013]

What I know about Tuba City is this: 1) Extreme makeover were there, and at the time there were no veteran center, so they built one. 2) Code talker museum is there. About the USMC Navajo code talkers.

[@_mortiam]

Those enclaves within each other are really fascinating! But technically, you were still only going back an forth between 2 time zones 🤔

[@arcticbanana66]

Only two time zones, but seven time zone borders.

[@MmmGallicus]

Yes, I was about to post the same comment

[@_mortiam]

@@arcticbanana66 I disagree. For example, entering and exiting the enclave containing Moenkopi is really the same border, just crossing on two different spots. Then what's the difference to taking any border and going along it serpentine style?

[@pdraggy]

Only one time zone really, but he was counting clock changes. The only difference was if each observed daylight savings or not. Like saying a male Englishman is unrelated to a female Englis(wo)man. They just have different observations but they are still both English.

[@greybeard5123]

I was surprised he didn't count either Arizona or New Mexico.

[@timlorow2679]

I had a similar experience on a vacation to the area. We had to manage 5 time zones within a week between NV, UT, AZ, Navajo, and NV again after DST change.

[@mwzngd1679]

Barby, are you going to be the special guest in the USA episode?

[@jetfool]

Dude! You never mentioned WHY Arizona just says no to DST. It's because of the summer heat; if I get off work at, say 6pm on a beastly hot June day, I'm READY for that sun to set and the temp to start dropping toward 100F. Which it might do by 10pm if we're LUCKY. Our neighbor state Sonora, Mexico does the same thing. Thanks for the great vid, Paul.

I wonder how many jumps you could technically make if crossed borders between Bangladesh and India. After all, there are tons of exclaves and enclaves between the two. Arguably, the most complex borderline between two countries in the world.

[@mlbrooks4066]

When I was a teenager, Tennessee had some funny time zones because it didn't recognize daylight savings time AND already had two time zones. So, driving from southern Virginia in the summer, you changed times on entering Tennessee then changed again a few hours later when you got to Crossville TN (or thereabouts).

Suggestions for some other border anomalies: 1. Northwest Angle and other enclaves between the USA and Canada, as well as Point Roberts, Washington 2. Land on embassy grounds/military bases 3. The Knights of Malta and their small amount of land distriution (yes, they have some very small areas) 4. Saint Martin/Sint Maarten situation 5. Republic of Molossia and other micronations 6. Land claims around the polar regions 7. Bir Tahwil 8. Canadian/Danish border on Hans Island 9. St. Pierre and Miquelon itself 10. That weird Dutch/Belgian situation with multiple border lines and enclaves that go back and forth

[@stephenolan5539]

I think the Canadian Danish alcohol war over Hans Island has been settled. And I believe Canada has a manned automatic lighthouse to prevent the US from claiming the island it is on.

11. That one island that switches between France and Spain every 6 months

[@chrisvickers7928]

Most of the Canadian province of British Columbia is Pacific time zone, PST which is GMT +8. The small town of Yakh in eastern BC is just west of the change over to Mountain time zone, MST which is GMT + 7. When BC goes to daylight time, Yahk doesn't want to change their clocks so they pick up the time zone signs east of town and move them west of town changing to MDT which is GMT +8. This may not last much longer. California is discussing eliminating the change to Daylight time and if California does that. BC will as well and Yahk won't have to move its time zone signs any more.

You did it some of the time and I appreciate that. The USA negotiated treaties with all of these entities as sovereign nation to sovereign nation. The fact that the USA broke nearly all of the treaties does not change, in my mind, the fact that they are nations.

If you follow a slightly more circuitous route, there's a road that does go back and forth across the same border a couple times that will give your road trip an additional 6 or 7 time zone crossings This route is a bit longer, and essentially just extends the road trip. At Ganado, turn onto US-191 and go to Chambers (leave Navajo Nation). From here, you have two equally legitimate choices. If you turn right and drive to Holbrook, I-40 will cross the border six more times, plus one instance where the border follows the paint between the two westbound lanes which can net you a lot of (probably illegitimate) crossings. If you turn left, you have to exit I-40 at Sanders and continue on US-191 (if you do this trip backwards, there are an extra two crossings here as the border cuts off some of the northbound lanes). Once you cross the border two more times, turn left on AZ-61 at the Witch Well Store and make 3 more border crossings before entering New Mexico and not actually switching time zones.

The watch I wore on all 3 trips (& when I go out in general) has been stuck in military time for years. It took a lot of math for me to figure out what time it was last summer. Also, it's funny you should say "A lot of Dutch people were involved in this", because when I travelled to Zona, Cali, and the state of Las Vegas last year, I met some Dutch tourists at the Grand Canyon, as well as German (or at least German-speaking) tourists there and nearly everywhere else I visited.
