Smith River, CA (NW Corner) to Andrade, CA (SE Corner) is about 1,000 miles and probably a little under 20 hours away (according to Mapquest).

Well that drive certainly is not fun unless you have a Porsche 911 or Mercedes S 65 or a fun car to drive.

While it's not an extreme point to extreme point oddity since all of Ohio's extreme points are near interstate highways and Ohio doesn't really have an "extreme southeast point", but driving along the Ohio River the entire way from East Liverpool to Cincinnati takes over 8 and a half hours.

Just to put in a vote for NC, From Ducktown in the Smokies to Hatteras Island at the shore is 519 miles and takes 8 hours 32 minutes. Raleigh is just about midway and so is located just where a State capital should be.

There's also a town simply called "Duck" on the Outter Banks that's likely even farther from Ducktown than Hatteras Island is.

It takes a shorter time to drive from Maine to Southern California than it does to drive from Maine to Seattle.
