HI FROM NEWBIE

[AK NIMROD]

WELL MY BROTHER IN LAW OFFERED TO TRAILER THE PINZGAUER PART WAY. SO IT IS NOW IN CENTRAL ALBERTA FOR 3 WEEKS TILL I CAN DRIVE DOWN FROM HOME TO TRAILER IT . IT IS ABOUT 1300 MILES ALONG OF THE 3500 MILE TRIP. TRAILERED WELL BUT HAD TO STOP AT ONE POINT BECAUSE OF 80-85 MPH CROSS WINDS WE KNEW OF 6 SEMI RIGS THAT WERE LAID ON THEIR SIDES.

LEAVING 6 DEC FROM AK WHEN I GET OFF WORK TO DRIVE DOWN GET PINZGAUER ON TRAILER AND DRIVE BACK 4200 MILES ROUND TRIP UNLESS BROTHER IN LAW IN ALBERTA DRAGS IT NORTH TO DAWSON CREEK AT HIS SON'S THAT WILL SAVE US 800+ MILES. HOPEFULLY HE WILL HELP US OUT.

[AK NIMROD]

ROUGHLY 3500 MILES YAHOO MAPS SAID 97.5 HRS ROUND TRIP WE DID IT IN 80.5 HRS WITH A 12 HOUR LAY OVER IN DAWSON CREEK EVEN GOT ALMOST 4 HRS SLEEP IN A BED THERE. I FIGURED 30 HRS DRIVING EACH WAY SO WITH FOOD, FUEL AND PEE STOPS WE WERE PRETTY CLOSE.
THIS PICTURE IN NORTHERN PART OF THE ALCAN PROBABLY 50 MILES OR SO FROM ALASKA BORDER.


THEN AT WATSON LAKE- " sign post forrest " the night before.
