Had to be Texas; it’s a wide state, whereas no part of California could have an 800-mile stretch of interstate. I drove thru TX twice, but it was the panhandle. Texas was the largest state in area till Alaska came along.
DDs crushed me, as did all the stumpers except carbolic ___ and the literary giants’ first name.
I was only 1/3 for DD, getting only the third one correct. I guessed at Texas, and stuck to it. I considered CA, but stood by my first choice.

My first thought was Texas for FJ, and then I changed it to California. Drat!
