Tomorrow nite I am doing a lecture of the 2006 HU Creel meeting for the Guadalajara BMW Club. I think that 5 people are at this time booked for the trip, plus the others that will get interested after the lecture.

Also, my friends from Durango are going to go to the meeting they are five and the have 4 more guests that will attend the meeting, they are coming from El Salvador.

Eduardo from Durango made a 2up trip to Patagonia with his wife and will like to do his presentation of the trip at the Creel Meeting, so he wants to know how much time he can use for it and if taking an USB memory with the presentation in Powerpoint will be enough or will he need to carry a computer?

Think this year we will have much more people.

See U

Humberto

Humberto, good going!

Re Eduardo - yes, that would be excellent - he has 45 minutes MAXIMUM, and a USB memory stick with the presentation in PowerPoint is just fine. Computer definitely not necessary.

Also please send me his full name and the title of his presentation - and whether he wants to do it in Spanish or English - or both!

Did you get the poster translated? If so send it to me and I'll make it available on the meeting page too.

I'd be very pleased to have more Mexicans at the meeting!

thanks, Grant

Yes, you can book the hotel - but best you book through me, as I am handling all hotel bookings. Originally to help the non-Spanish speakers, as getting an English speaker at the hotel is a bit tricky, but in order to simplify and keep track of it all, I'm doing it all. So when you register for the meeting with HU, please also reserve your hotel room. All info on the meeting webpage.

I have done my reservation for the event but I want to be shure I did it right, please check. I paid thru PayPal.

Also, and very important, I need a reservation for a Nice Cabin for 2 people (exclusively) for Dan Toporoski & Me.
We will arrive on the 10th Oct. so we wil be there the nights of the 10th, 11th & 12th.

Thanks.


(sorry for using a post for this matter, but I found you answer faster than sending an e-mail to you.)

More Room reservations

Grant:
I had a meeting with the guys from Durango and finally they know how much rooms they will need, for them and for the guys coming from El Salvador.

It will be a total of 8 rooms.
Four rooms for solo people
And four rooms four 2 people each.

People from Guadalajara are about to decide how many will go, so shortly I will send the reservations.

Do we send a check? Or how do we deposit?

Humberto

Check or PayPal to the address on the meetings page please!

Details in the mail.

Everyone heading for Mexico - Cabins are going fast, so get your reservations in soon! It's well worth being at the new main meeting place, the cabins are a much better deal than last year!

See you there,

Gracias

Humberto,
Gracias por la ejemplar labor en la promocion del Meeting.

No imaginas el gusto y el orgullo de contemplar la participacion de un mayor numero de Mexicanos.

Por mi parte como habras notado unos cuantos postings antes, me he dado a la tarea de convocar a la raza en USA a reunirse en Duglas AZ, a fin de emprenderla hacia Creel, pasando el fin de semana en Huachinera Son. disfrutando del festival cultural... hasta ahora todo pinta muy bien y al parecer se reuniran alrededor de 20 motos...

Tal parece que este ano sera excepcional, gracias a los esfuerzos de tanta gente bonita y apasionada a la moto.

Recibe un fuerte abrazo
Gerardo Ibarra.

Just taking a moment to thank Humberto for his exceptional efforts to promote and grow this year's meeting...

Salud!

Gerardo Ibarra.

Me da gusto que los esfuerzos rindan fruto.
Por acá en Guadalajara tambien se está organizando otro grupo del Moto club BMW local, espero que al menos vayan unos 10.

Será un placer saludarte personalmente en Creel y tomarnos una chela.

Un Abrazo
Humberto

Thumbs up Looks like one not to miss

This looks as though it could become a highlight of my AWT Americas section. Not only Copper Canyon but the fiesta in Huachinera as well

Only trouble is I'm not 100% sure of my times, getting across Canada will take me about 60 days (not going the direct route ) So I should arrive in Calgery from Inuvik in late August.

Gotta see my cuz in Strollers M/cycles, Dallas,for a brew, sooo even taking a couple of weeks to learn some Spanish, looks like I can make it

See yuz in Huachinera or Copper Canyon.

You reading this Del Boy and Honeybadger?

Happy Trails

Presidio to Creel Crossing 10-10, questions for Grant

Looking for like minded couples / folks riding 2-up big dual sports from Presidio to Creel 10-10, and suggested parking in Presidio for truck and trailer. Leaving St. Louis on or about 10-8.

Grant:

After three years trying my work schedule may actually permit attending HU Creel. Are there any 2 person cabins left? As well can you point to any GPS coordinates / highway GPS routes from Presidio to Creel via 16 etc.? My GPSXchange login refuses to work.

Cheers!
Steve

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
