THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Good day to all of you.

I am leaving tomorrow for the longest Pinz trip I have ever done. It will take me from Quebec to all the way to the Western States and back. I figure something between 12000 to 14000 Km all together.

Here is my planned route.



I will try to cross to the west as quick as possible then start my visiting or touring in Bad Land SD. From there it will be stopping where ever I feel like. I will look at doing some trail riding along the way. I will for sure see if my Pinz is as good as I think it is.

I hope I will be able to see some of you on the way.

I will try to post pictures of the trip as much as possible so you can get a taste of that adventure.

Denis,
I wish you luck and good times! Take your time and enjoy the scenary--of course it is kind of hard to speed in a pinz!

Looking forward to the pictures.

Wow that is a trip to test the pinz! Keep info posted, the dates that you are close to Vegas is the most important. I live just south and it's hard to tell if you are coming all the way to havasu or not (Lake Havasu City, Arizona).

There is a very interesting bar that you could take the pinz to. Called the desert bar. http://www.thedesertbar.com/

It is about 2 hour drive from my house there, 45 on the road and the rest on a very challenging dirt path (parts of it anyway). Nice part is a very easy drive back, and shorter - unless you take the best way back too!

If the timing is right, I have an extra room for the night if needed.

Safe travels.
Chris

IF you are planning on coming all the way to Havasu, PM me for my cell number.

I hope that #21 is a stop in Lincoln, NE on a college football Saturday!

The downtown will be one really crazy place.

Springhill, Thanks for the good wishes.

Kirby, I will let you know when I’m in the area.

Loyalp, don’t really know when I will get there, too far away…..

Denis

what map software is that?

Windows Streets and trips.

Denis, too bad you aren't able to drop further south. I hope you find time to meet with the fine folks at 1237 Rogers Street, in Golden, Colorado, when you go through the greater Denver area. Bon voyage

Wow Denis, If I had known about your trip a couple weeks ago, I could have pushed on negotiations on a trailer near Kingston, On. and paid you to drag it down here..
From the looks of the map, it's seems you're heading to (or near) the Grand Canyon. Bummer, I have friends near there....it could have made my life easier, and your fuel bill a lot less painfull

Only problem would have been is that the trailer would have be trailered.

Have a grear, safe trip.
Dave

Denis, be sure to get in touch with me when you get to Jackson, WY.
I'll PM you my cell phone mumber.

Looks like a great trip bud...not far enough north though tee hee, but you should meet some nice folks.....be sure to see Dennis and Linda and some of the pinz gang (there's lots of them there) in Denver you will like them alot.

Now that IS a trip. Enjoy it!

Marker 20 looks like hwy 285. C470, I70, Colo76. If so and you have time, maybe can i/we get a trip together, or show you the way to Golden Colo (couple of miles) for a Coors beer. PM if you are interested.

Hehehe. I hope you have something to entertain you for that stretch from #20 to #21. I had a buddy that resorted to sitting out of his sunroof and driving with his feet with the cruise control on during that bit of fantastic I-80.

#20 to #22 The way back to my wife's home town. 15.5 hours in a car at speed. We rented the DiVinci code book on cd on time. Otta be fun in a Pinz.
