That's cheating and some European countries are much bigger than Michigan. Here's with two points only:

35h in Quebec, not counting the time you'll spend changing your wheels every now and then in the northern part (can't patch a tire sliced by sharp rocks)

51h by road, both locations are in Quebec, one is just inaccessible without going through Labrador if you want to drive the whole way.

Yeah and Michigan is bigger than many European countries.

Land area of Michigan: 150,504 km^2

Land and water area: 250,493 km^2

Area of Austria: 83,879 km^2

Portugal: 92,230 km^2

UK: 244,376 km^2

Denmark: 43,094 km^2

Belguim: 30,689 km^2

Netherlands: 41,865 km^2

I know this is a shit post, but I don't think most non natives truely grasp the vastness of America. This is A state thats bigger than Denmark, Belguim, and the Netherlands combined without including Michigans water area.

Just pointing out that it's ridiculous to say Europeans couldn't understand it.
