Hey there-
I just finished registering and one question.
I paid for registration for myself and the extra fee for camping for my son , who will be driving through the area(from college in Bozeman) and plans on meeting up.
If he chooses to camp "inside" the event does he also need to register to bring his vehicle in and or is there a place nearby the official campsite he can camp with his suby...I am very familiar with Moab and the area, just clarifying someone possibly joining in with a non Vangon and the camping (Hopefully this makes sense).
Thank you,
See you all there! |

Glad you can make it with your son.
Unfortunately there is no guest parking at the group sites. Everyone must be on a group site and that vehicle counts against the max number that BLM will allow us to have. The number of vehicles is the limiting factor for the event, not the number of heads.
Please email Johnny Maw to discuss what your situation is. _________________ Dave O

Successfully swapped in the new old stock EJ22 into the van yesterday, just have to hunt down a nasty vacuum leak. Plenty of time for other last minute upgrades! Can't wait to toss some pizza in the desert! |

Less than one month away! We might be getting there Wednesday night, I'm not quite sure yet. Kids are excited to bike, climb the sand hill, and hopefully swimming if the weather is nice. Might go looking for dinosaur bones too one day... _________________ 1986 Canadian Syncro Westy TDI - 1989 Syncro Single Cab - 2001 Audi S4 - 1981 VW Caddy ABA - 1980 VW Caddy EV - 1973 VW T-181 |

We have enough interest from folks wanting to arrive a day early (arrive Wednesday) and/or stay an extra day (leave Monday).
I will split the site costs among all of us who show up. Cash or Payal at the site.
The cost will be $15 - $30 max per night. (Each site holds 10 vehicles each at $150/night.) This is not part of the official Syncro Solstice event.
For now show up on Site D. If I get more interest we will also have site E but based on current numbers I am likely to cancel that site for the extra nights.
The event is using all the sites available, A - E.
Please contact me immediately if you want to take advantage of this and have not previously chimed in.

See you all soon.

Thursday May 18th
- Arrive (Bring your own camp dinner)
- Camp Set-up
Friday May 19th
- Friday Morning: Coffee and Breakfast
- Friday Morning/Afternoon: Organized Trail Adventures
- Friday Evening: Dinner in Town
Saturday May 20th
- Saturday Morning: Coffee and Breakfast
- Saturday Morning/Afternoon: Organized Trail Adventures
- Saturday Evening: Desert Pizza Dinner
Sunday May 21st
- Sunday Morning: So Long!
I believe due to costs one of the dinners was removed. Sunday might have coffee, but breakfast had to be stopped then because clean up was extra long and the trailer had to be packed after everything was cleaned up. _________________ 1986 Canadian Syncro Westy TDI - 1989 Syncro Single Cab - 2001 Audi S4 - 1981 VW Caddy ABA - 1980 VW Caddy EV - 1973 VW T-181 |
