We are stoked to get the band back together! And if you have never been to a Solstice, it's really incredible:
Breath-taking off-road adventures for every driver and van, the finest desert pizzas, stunning night skies, and absolutely stellar people.

Post your favorite past Solstice pictures, and polish your dancing shoes!

When: Friday May 20th - Monday May 23rd
Where: Lone Mesa Campground, Island in the Sky, Moab, Utah
Registration: Opens Sunday - the link will be posted in this thread. Previous attendees should get an email.

My brother is on me to attend Descend Lost Sierra May 20-23, and I read with GLEE that Solstice date changed, thus we could attend BOTH in one good long trip.

OK dangit I see it's still May 20-23 and I still have the conundrum that after all these YEARS, I was finally going to meet some of you folks at Solstice.....

I guess we'll see how the tug-of-war goes.

Don't wait too long to register.

The BLM has a limit on the number of vehicles and it would suck if you did not get in under the wire.

Done! Now I'm really under the gun to get a lot of work finished. I need to hope for good weather since I live in the mtns and don't have a garage to work in.
