Interesting Neighbors in Gunnison

The day we left Gunnison we found an influx of military type vehicles to the campground.
These 4 wheel drive units are from Sweden and are sold to the US after their use in the Swedish army. They are of mid 1970's vintage and are lovingly rebuilt by their new owners. There is a large group from Colorado that uses them to go out on 4 wheel drives through the back roads of the mountains.


This will give you an idea of the size of these vehicles. That is our coach in the background. The name on the front of the truck is Pinzgaur by Styer. They seem to be very well made and rugged which I suspect is their attraction to those wanting a unit to go anywhere in the mountains.








Not sure what a Treffen is but that is their sign at the gathering place. Posted by Picasa

That picture with the military vehicle next to your coach is cute. They aren't very big, but I bet they get around rugged areas. For every interest their is a group to join, isn't there?
