Sooooo.... calling the question, have the dates for Syncro Solstice 2018 been set? I may be able to do a quick run out and need to get arrangements in place. Very Happy

Campsite is booked for May 17-20. We'll probably wait a little longer to start it's own thread.

Yikes, that only leaves me 131 days to get my Syncro ready for its inaugural event. I'll never make it. Shocked

Does that include replacing the CV on the other side Very Happy ? I think we'll be there too, it'll make for good bookends on our trip...

Oh snap!

I have three more lobro CV’s to install before then just in case... 😀

Gravel roadside CV swaps at 10,000 feet are fun!

Is registration open?

And my much younger brother Jeremy from Denver is interested in hanging out with his two very young kids. He does not have a VW but would be in something called an SUV.... can we accommodate?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have an extra Vanagon for him now? Smile

What's up with registration? I figured it would be up by now. People are making Spring plans...

Definitely a lack of 2018 info. Vanagon.org has a link to syncrosolstice.com but that site is down.

If 2018 happens, anyone in the San Diego area want to bring a spare transaxle with them? I'm fine with shipping it LTL on a pallet but thought someone might actually want some extra cash.

Update from Mr. Maw:

"We plan to have registration up this week sometime. Thank you for the reminders and patience. The interwebs department sometimes spends more time philosophizing about van life than actually making it happen."

Very Happy
