Haflingertreffen Nordamerika 2014
Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2013 5:05 am
While Haflingertreffen Nordamerika has successfully brought many little trucks together, each year has been in a different location associated with something BIG. The first year saw a BIG lake (Shasta). The second year was in the realm of BIG trees (the Redwoods) and the third was…well…BIGFOOT’s neighborhood. The 2013 Leavenworth, Washington-based treffen transported us to the world of BIG lederhosen, BIG beer steins, BIG Alpine horns and BIG and beautiful mountainous views.
Get ready for 2014! June 19th-22nd 2014 to be exact. I have it on good authority that Zhentu the Magnificent of Blakastan (aka Jim Blake of Newport, Oregon) is inviting the Haflingertreffen Nordamerika crowd to the land of something BIG. Actually, the land adjacent to something REALLY BIG…as in Pacific Ocean BIG. That’s right! The central Oregon Coast and the nearby Siuslaw National Forest are within his realm and his has magnanimously chosen to share by opening the West Blakastani borders. The Oregon Coast Aquarium, OSU Hatfield Marine Science Center, the new NOAA facility, Rogue Brewery, a vibrant waterfront along Yaquina Bay and beautiful beaches both north and south of the majestic Yaquina Bay Bridge and so much more await one and all. There is also a huge chunk of the Siuslaw National Forest just southeast of Yaquina Bay. The 2013 MVUM for the Central Coast area can be found at: http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOC ... 418180.pdf .
And how does one get there? Easy! Newport, Oregon is located at the junction of US Hwy 101 and Oregon Hwy 20. If you live in CA, OR or WA, you already know where your nearest stretch of US Hwy 101 is located. It is a beautiful drive both north and south (Just 211 miles from the CA border and 136 miles from the WA border on the Astoria Megler Bridge over the Columbia River). Access off the I-5 corridor is also quite good. Just 62 miles from the I-5/Hwy 34 junction east of Corvallis to the Hwy20/101 junction in Newport. Major flights come in and out of Eugene (EUG) which is located 84 miles from Newport. Portland Airport (PDX) is a bit further at 124 miles.
More details regarding campgrounds, lodging options, etc will be forthcoming. The critical issue at this time is to mark the dates in your calendar: June 19th-22nd 2014. Get ready for another memorable Haflingertreffen Nordamerika in 2014.
Take care...one and all.
