From August 26 to September 29, 2000, I traveled thru the South West of the United States. This trip, starting in Phoenix AZ and ending in Las Vegas NV, took me not only to some of the most interesting places of the Old West's history (like Tombstone AZ and Lincoln, NM) but also allowed me to explore scientific and, to a certain extent, military sites.

Of course, I also visited some National and State Parks and Monuments, including Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde and Death Valley.

This travel log lets you participate in my journey. Beside some pictures, this site contains some basic information about the sights I visited and may therefore be useful when you plan your own trip to the USA. However, please keep in mind that this is not a travel guide but just my personal diary.

Since there are plenty of existing web sites covering just about every place along my route, I have included links to those sites rather than spending hours typing all the information from these sites into my own pages.
