Hi folks,
Registration is just around the corner, and the itinerary seems to get better by the minute. We were dealt a few curve balls and we made some sweet lemonade out of them. The itinerary will be posted here and on the website in a few days. It looks like costs will be the same (or nearly) as last year, even though our camp area has grown by 50%. There was a great vibe and energy last year, and we have gone to great lengths to preserve that unique Solstice experience.
We are venturing to some new trails this year, and keeping a few of the favorites from last year. We will fit just a bit more into our short time in Moab this year, especially in the "Afternoon Delight" category. I recommend you read through the SS2011 thread (below), as it contains a great deal of info if this is your first time. You can also PM me or post in this thread, so others can benefit from your question or comment.
Based on the response, I believe will fill to capacity this year. Just a heads up now that we are in full swing. Get those kids stoked, bikes tuned, vans lifted, frisbees for the dogs, swim trunks, sunblock and flip flops packed, guitars tuned, and really just relax and get ready for another stellar weekend with some simply wonderful people, and the finest scenery and experiences you could hope for. The Utah & Colorado folks are excited to host, and sure hope you can join us!

Yes, yes I would clean all that off.
Then I'd head to Moab!
Will be there for sure this year! _________________ ~Kamz

Count me in for 1.
I picked up a rebuilt syncro locker transmission for my van I would like to put in. A few maintenance things first.

Sweet. Can't wait.
I better get my ass in gear on the Splitzgauer. Last night was a planning session. I think we figured we were more than 50% done. Sober guy this morning is having a hard time agreeing with that.

I need a miracle to make this One may be in the works if I get offered one of the 2 jobs I have had interviews over the past couple weeks There is an outside chance. I was really counting on having my new bumpers, tire carrier, etc delivered to me in the Splitzgauer.
Syncro Solstice 2012 is right in the middle of my sh!t work May 10-13 I work that week Wed-Friday 12 hour days and Saturday-Monday 12 hour nights. Dammit! Pray for a miracle shift swap, or, does anyone want to spend a little extra time out and about around Death Valley after SyncroFest 2012?
So for now, I am out. _________________ Happiness=Portland, Oregon in the rearview mirror! |

Sweet.
I don't think I will make it CA this year. I will probably be on a mad dash to finish the Splitzgauer those three weeks for Moab.
Maybe Mogfest will be my far away trip this year.
I am glad you guys are going to make it. _________________ Rocky Mountain Westy Inc.
