My United States Round Trip in 5 Weeks with m5board.com Members Part 6/6: AZ, NV,

It all started with Member M CRISIS proposing a 2007 American Tour for me (Gustav) back in 16th of August 2006.

The idea back in 2006 was this:

"*Grand Tour of America - Travel America in member's M cars.
*Tentative route (with a lot of side detours) to include as many states as possible. (Will attach updated route map soon)
*4 to 5 week tour in July of 2007.
*Gustav would fly to New York (most likely place) where tour would begin and end on the west coast.
*Individual M owners would act as host/travel guide for a 1 to 2 day segment.
*Each host would prepare an itinerary to take Gustav to the best and most notable sites be it national parks, monuments, cities, byways or any points of interest etc.
*At the end of each segment the host would rendezvous with the next host and pass Gustav off to them.
If we could pull this off it would be the most intense 4 weeks of Gustav's life! (I’m guessing about a 10,000 mi trip) "

I can say that this was by far reached! And yes, it was certainly the most intense five weeks of my life and an experinced I will never forget.

I left Thursday 19th of July 1 p.m. from Stockholm, Sweden and flew to Boston via Pennsylvania and came home from San Fransisco Boston and Frankfurt the 23rd of August "quite" exhausted.
