Now at the dawn of the century it was time for a new “impossible journey”. Some old friends have gathered to celebrate Fogg’s impetuous and lucrative gamble–and to propose a new wager of their own. The stakes: $1 Million in a winner-takes-all competition. The objective: to see which of them can travel by rail to the most cities in North America–in just 7 days. The journey begins immediately.
