Thanks Joe, keep the photos coming. It feels like forever since I went camping, but I guess it was only January. It'll have to be a Fall Moab trip this year for me.
Perhaps I will join you after I settle in in my new digs, location yet to be determined, but much closer to Hans and you Wink

Absolutely. You moving this way, Jeff? Both Colorado and Utah are pretty nice. I don't have confidence to say when my van will be road trip ready, but I don't want to miss the whole season. If the rains would stop for more than a day, it would help.

Sitting here in cold and rainy (again) Denver, so why not post some photos from a happier time.

My brother was concerned about the rain; not to worry, I told him. This is why we have Westfalias.

And finally, an ill-fated attempt at Loveland Pass. It looked fine up there from Silverthorne, but it wasn't even close to fine, not at all. We had to turn back and take the tunnel. What was I thinking?

Having both events back to back weekends was so much fun and much more logistically possible to go to both. Hope it can happen again this year.

Is there an update/confirmation on the dates for 2016? I need to finalize my vacation dates very soon, as do my co-pilots Smile

Thanks,

Robyn

Yes it's confirmed! I believe we have the full campsite reserved 19-22 and one of the sites for Wednesday the 18th.

Hi folks. This year's Solstice looks so incredible, and we hope you are able to make it. We are about 5 weeks out, and today is the last day to register and get all the driver goodies, including cup, frisbee and reusable SolsticeSac. Some suppliers require a significant lead time. We expect 75-80 vans again this year which is our limit. If you havent been, this will be an incredible year. If you have, well, we cant wait to see you again!
