Will there be a major SyncroSwim?  Just looked at some videos including crossing a deep river with quite a current. If I had $$$$ I'd be getting a Syncro and taking a heep of lessons and heading West  |
Theres a pretty sweet mudbog for the real adventurous drivers. Tons of fun till you need to clean the van.

Sweet! Setting up the pole driving course is a good time.
Volunteering at the event is really easy and fun. I just showed up at different places and helped out last year because the people are really great. |

Nice. There is a jagd, doka, singlecab, adventurewagen and a few hardtops and westys already signed up. This is going to be a good group.
Looking forward to it already. |

Now it's a really sweet syncro!

Yes, yes it is.
I'm glad it went to a home of a builder that saw the potential and has the skills to make it into something really cool. |

We just signed up as well. It sounds like it is going to be a great event.
Next year, however, I hope that both groups can reconcile and have one spring event. Steve's antics aside, the SDM folks are good people and it is sad to have good freinds attending another event two weeks later.
As it is, we have signed up for both. We can barely afford to do it, but freinds are important.
See you there.

Shaun signed up and we all know what that means.....Swap meet! Every year I plan on bring out a load of stuff to swap but then in the last minute rush it does not happen. I'm going to try harder this year.
