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!

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.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


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.

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 .
