You know how sometimes you look at a map and you notice that two states or countries who seem very distant from each other actually share a border? I thought of a few examples
The Oklahoma Panhandle borders Colorado
Tennessee borders Missouri
Nebraska borders Wyoming
North Korea borders Russia
China borders India
Location: northern Vermont - previously NM, WA, & MA

New Mexico's border with Chihuahua Mexico (I don't know anyone who has crossed it)
New Mexico's tiny border with the pandhandle of Oklahoma
Idaho and BC Canada

Don't know about the NY and CT part...but I have heard people from LI/Downstate who seem a little taken aback when I mention the only state that my region of NY is near is Pennsylvania. Down there the mental image of PA is not of a border state but as a state that is separated from NY by NJ. PA actually has the largest land border with NY of any state. 2nd largest land border...with Vermont.

I'd say NY's most forgotten border is the short one with Western Mass. Several commuters cross the NY/CT daily.
