Any other Eurovan's attending DoB this year? Anyone interested in a caravan from Portland, Oregon down to DoB? My first time attending and will be driving an EVC (Syncro Westy is out of commission) along with a friend driving a 4x4 Sprinter.

Was up there this summer and sampled as many brewpubs as I could. Crux Fermentation is a must stop! _________________ Farfignewton! |

We will be leaving out of Bellingham WA at 4 am on Thursday morning , to miss all the traffic we hit it early! We have a red eurovan loaded to the gills, DOB IS AWESOME, we attended last year and have been eagerly awaiting this years shenanigans, maybe we'll see you on the road ( really our rig is hard to miss ! )

NOTE: The site is 25 miles SE of Lapine, OR. It could be an important error that Google can't really "find" the Site address from the Poseidons Beard website:
The "address" just routes to the beginning of OR31, which is 26 miles from the event. The name "OUTBACK STATION" and the "ADDRESS" are two different GOOGLE locations.
CORRECT: Route to the name "OUTBACK STATION"
WRONG: Google route to "76231 OR-31, LaPine, OR 97739" is WRONG
Here is the EVENT LOCATION of OUTBACK STATION in Lat/Long:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/43.3935,-121.2121
Make sure you are going to: 43.3935,-121.2121
If I have made any errors in my Google Fu I apologize. Everyone should verify that they see the location "Outback Station" at their Google destination. _________________

That was the best descend ever! Over 500 vans, live music ,beer, 1000+ people , yes it was cold at night but it hit 80 on Friday ( yep we had a remote thermometer in the sun with us ) the wind picked up and it rained a bit during the live music ,check out The last revel they rocked the stage. All in all it was awesome,can't wait till next year. _________________ Not all who wander are lost

A few shots from this year. We got there early on Thursday after a night at silver moon brewing but by the afternoon there wasn't a patch of soft desert sand to be seen for all the vans covering it . _________________ Not all who wander are lost
