"those two states actually border each other"

Sure, but if you want to drive from Ann Arbor to the Michigan border with Wisconsin, the trip is close to 600 miles.

My point was only that it is misleading to say that state X is "not that far" from state Y when state X and state Y actually border each other, i.e. are contiguous with one another.

The fact that certain locations in state X might be hundreds of miles away from certain locations in state Y is irrelevant.
