can't register, technical problem
 

Hi all,
:oops2: registration form doesn't work, send button stays gray.

Here's my detrails:

Bike: BMW R1200GS
From: Stuttgart, Germany

Was at the Germany meeting last weekend. I'll arrive in BsAs by ship early September. Will do a loop north to Uruguay/Paraguay and will try my best to be at the meeting in December. Then Patagonia, hope to reach Alaska in 2012 or 2013. After that maybe Australia/Asia.
I could do a slide show about dirt riding in Cambodia and/or F650 Dakar / 1200GSA Eastern Europe. I'll have the pics and a laptop with me.
See you in Viedma!

Cannot Register
 

Is it me or does the "yes" button not work?:helpsmilie:

Oops! yes sorry it DIDN'T work but it does now. Thanks for letting me know.

2011
 

I'm planning a trip to Ushuaia from Reno, NV starting in early October 2011. Does anyone know where the Horizons Unlimited Travelers Meeting will be held in 2011 and if the dates would be 9-11 December if the same weekend as the 2010 meeting? I thought that previous meetings had been held in Ushuaia?

Any ideas?

Doug

NO guarantees on the exact date, but expect second weekend in Dec. Always held in Viedma. There is also always a party of some sort, totally unofficial in Ushuaia for Christmas / New Years.

G, on terrible connection in the wilds of BC

I'm in
 

Just registered.

We'll be 2up and travelling North from Ushuaia up the Andes. This will be our first HU meet and our first big overland ride too. Hopefully this will be worth the 1000 mile detour from our planned route!

Hope to meet many new friends and maybe learn a thing or two from all you experienced old hands :biggrin3:

See you there beer

Argentina 2010 Meeting December
 

UPDATE:

Jay Kannaiyan will be giving a talk on "How to use mobile technology while traveling - Using mobile gadgets and internet tools for easy rtw bike travel."

Anyone in the area now?
 

Hi all!

Hmmmm, not much happening in this threat. Does someone know how many are coming?

I'm in the region already, right now in Santa Theresita, about 100km north of Mar de Plata. I have a couple of weeks to kill before the meeting and might head down to Peninsula Valdez and backtrack north to Viedma again.

I can't find Oscar Knecht's contact information on HU. If you have his mail or phone number please pm me.

Cheers
Frank

The phone number is on the Argentina Meeting web page near the bottom, and so is his email address. :)

Have fun, the reports are always great!

Thanks Mick and Grant. I ha've had contact with Oscar already. :-)

in Viedma now
 

I'm in Viedma already. Nice, laid back town. Weather is beautiful and the nearby (60km from town, 30km from the campsite) Sea Lion colony is amazing. Oscar and his wife Nancy are really nice people. Right now I'm staying at Hotel "El Vasco", Street 25 de Mayo, 2 blocks from the river, 120 Pesos. Thursday I'll be staying at the campsite "Los Trentinos" in El Condor. See you all there!

Please, send my best regards to Oscar.
Have a very good meeting!
Don't forget to sign the book and
BEWARE WITH THOSE ABSLOLUTLY FURIOUS DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

@Paulo: Just came from a great asado at Oscar's place. Too much excellent costilla :-)) I'll give him your regards tomorrow :thumbup1:

Hi Grant,

the meeting was great, I absolutely enjoyed it and my thanks go especially to Nancy and Oscar!

I'll post a link to my photos once I found the time to upload them, hopefully in Ushuaia. I only have 1000 km to go.

Greetings from somewhere between Comodoro Rivadavia and Rio Gallegos!

Frank :scooter:

Viedma, at the Campsite Los Trentinos in El Condor, ride to the Loberia along the amazing coastline, the sea lion colony and tons of parrots that nist in the cliffs. Enjoy!

Here are more photos of the Atlantic Coast south of Buenos Aires to Ushuaia:

Thanks a lot everybody for the great help!
 

...in the end I got my bike up and running. :scooter:
(But not before getting totally stranded in Puerto Piramides. I had to bring my broken bike with ACA then to Puerto Madryn - where I still am - to get it fixed)
Here the pictures I took!

Merry Xmas everybody!
Kind regards,
Philipe

Hope to be there.
 

I'm arriving in Buenos Aires late November and planning to ride (F650GS twin) south to Ushuaia. The timing should be right. Hope to see you all there. John. Adelaide, South Australia
