An enduro trip of 5,255 kilometres through the Wild West of the USA – a journey many would dream of. For four weeks, Ramona Eichhorn and Herbert Schwarz travelled on their Xchallenge and HP2 Enduro, with a tent and a reputable team of two photographers, a film-maker and two cameramen: far away from civilisation, freeways and tourist attractions, they set off to discover the original America. To do so, they followed a route traced by Jerry Counts and Dave Hutchings, which cartographically links a system of gravel tracks and paths and creates a through-going connection from Canada to Mexico which can be covered by motorcycle.
