Hi Frank
He's in the Viedma 'phone book. Can't remember if there's more than one Knecht but his house number's 33 and it's under his wife's initial, N.
Don't miss the meeting, it's brilliant. Oscar and family are wonderful hosts. I've been twice and will be sad to miss it this year: roll on 2011!
Regards, Mick

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!

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!

Hi Frank
Be sure to get the ferry across the river to Carmen de Patagones: it's beautiful over there.
Regards, Mick

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.
