Some years ago, I went on a week-long trip to Utah and Arizona, driving
around to visit the various canyons and other interesting bits of nature.

One day, we crossed the Utah-Arizona border, and just south of the border
there was some interesting thing to see (maybe it was the Glen Canyon Dam?
I don't remember now). We were happy because it was just after 4pm, and we
knew that the thing closed on 5pm. But when we got there, it was closed.
It turned out that unlike Utah, Arizona doesn't have DST, so during summer
there's an unexpected (for tourists like me...) one-hour time difference.

As a small child living in Illinois, I also encountered the same problem in
Indiana, but I was too small to remember any of the details ;-)
