I'd love to attend, but it may have to be in my (hopefully lifted) Subaru, as my westy will hopefully be sold by then (looking for a syncro hardtop).

There's almost 7 feet of space between the glove box & the rear seat back, so I plan on building a folding platform to make sleeping possible.

Of course, a tent could be fitted over the rear bed like some I have seen here on the Samba.

I to would be interested, depending on when. What I suggest is that those that are interested come up with a couple of places that might be suitable and unique. I think a centrally located area in the east might be good.

Questions:

1. How many syncros would possibly attend?
2. I would assume we need a place with an area for challenging 4 wheel drive options?
3. Do we want primitive camping or the availability of power?
4. Will this just be a get together or are we going to try and do a formal event?
5. How many days?
6. Can anyone else think of other options?
7. Name????

I vote for name change also, I like Westy de South Este, especially since I came up with it . I really do not care (see 7).

? Vana Est? Not all Vanagons are Westys. I can be self contained for several days. Central East works for me and priority of location should be to facilitate Syncro performance of course and perhaps one event challenging us 2WDers Heading east east sometime in June but can head south first.

Hey Chris,
Glad you chimed in.
With warmer weather approaching I think momentum is picking up again.
As we've discussed I have lots of thoughts on locations, activities, etc.

As I stated in this post: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=438825

[DAIZEE]

Perhaps East Coast is not a good area as everyone can only come from 3 directions. A bit more West means people can come from all four corners et al. I'd have the same feelings about NF if that means North Florida. I think a more Central location with priority going to a place with trails for Syncros. I guess if you want to name it specifically a Syncro event then us 2WDers would have no input. Like west side of West By God Virginia or the hills of Tn maybe. or southern Pa

Correct, NF=National Forest.

I believe Tellico has been closed since last year.

GWNF is in God's country. Beautiful scenery, lots of history, plenty to see and do.
Not sure about the trail options though, it looks like it's mainly ATV trails in the NF.

However this place: http://www.anvilrockorvpark.com/index.htm would be a great option!
If I get time I'll call them tomorrow to get an idea of the trail difficulty. Hopefully it's not strictly hardcore rock crawling.

[trihartsfield]

Take a look at this. It is not in the mountains but it might be an option.

Here is another. It is private and seems expensive.

I want to go to all of these. Well except maybe Rausch Creek.
Kind of boring not that it is not hard just kinda ugly

[DAIZEE]

sorry I thought we were talking States. Not familiar with the NF system in the States.
