Hi all you Syncronauts !! I'm EXCITED!
Syncro Safari 2000 will be the biggest and best event ever and I have
selected a place in California's eastern Sierras for Syncro Safari 2000.
I have reserved a beautiful group campsite near Mammoth Lakes in the eastern
Sierra. The site is just gorgeous and so are the surrounding moutnains. The
site can accomodate up to 12 vehicles and 50 people maximum and is seperate
from any other campground. It's just for our group! I had hoped to schedule
Syncro Safari 2000 for late July, but ended up scheduling it for the last
week of August.
A few months ago I visited the Mammoth Lakes area and checked out several
group sites. None matched this one - on many counts. I also talked with
people from the local visitors bureau, rangers, and the president of the
local 4x4 club. I have tentatively arranged for local club members to act as
trail guides for us.
I picked up a lot of literature about the local region and will soon prepare
information packets to be mailed out to interested Syncronauts. The area has
many sights to see and things to do including hiking, mountain biking,
canoeing, and you can to Yosemite's north-east entrance in about 1.5 hours.
The Syncro Safari web site has been updated with new information about Syncro
Safari 2000. The main Syncro Safari site is at: <A
HREF="http://members.aol.com/syncrohead/SyncroSafari.html">http://members.aol.
com/syncrohead/SyncroSafari.html</A>
with a link to the Mammoth 2000 information.
The tentative schedule I've planned for Syncro Safari Mammoth 2000 is as
follows:
Saturday, August 26, Arrival day
Sunday, August 27, Arrival day, evening 4 wheeling clinic, trail preview
Monday, August 28, 4 wheeling
Tuesday, August 29, open - see local attractions, evening trail preview
Wednesday, August 30, 4 wheeling
Thursday, August 31, open - see local attractions, evening trail preview
Friday, September 1, 4 wheeling, evening awards night
Saturday, September 2, depart or see local attractions
Sunday, September 3, depart
I think that this year there may be more people who want to attend than we'll
have space for. I will announce the "registration" procedure soon.
For now, you can send in for information about the Mammoth Lakes area.
Read on....
While in Mammoth Lakes I spent a full day collecting literature fro the
ranger Station, Visitors Center and local Visitors bureau. I have at least
24 of the following items and I'll send a package containing one each to
people that request a package.
The package contains:
---------------------------------
Mammoth Self-Guided Tours Guide
Visitor Guide Mammoth Lakes Area Newspaper
Mammoth 1999 Summer Vacation Planner Magazine
Mammoth California Summer Adventure Guide '99 Guide

50 Great Things to do in the Eastern Sierra Guide

There is SO MUCH to do in the eastern Sierra it's incredible!!
Summer activities include hiking, fishing, canoeing, mountain biking,
horseback riding, rock climbing, hot air ballooning, in-line skating, golf,
tennis, orienteering/ropes course, sail boarding, nightlife, jet skiing, rock
collecting, bicycle touring, swimming, movies, arts & crafts and music
festivals (depends on schedule), photography, bird / animal watching (maybe
bears!)
Site seeing alone provides beautiful views everywhere you look.
Nearby attractions include:
Yosemite National Park(entrance 45 miles, valley 90 miles),
hot springs, fish hatchery, historical museums,
Mono Lake, Mono Lake tufa, and Mono Lake Canoe Tours
Devils Postpile National Monument,

and many historic sites like the Mammoth Consolidated Gold Mine, and Mill
City, Stamp Mill ruins & Knight wheel
To get your package of information mailed to you, please do the following:
1. Send me an email at Syncrohead@aol.com and let me know you want the info.
2. Send me $4.00 in the mail for USA Syncronauts. Yes, a real paper envelope
& all - what a hassle!. For people outside the USA, email me and I'll figure
out how to get an inofmation package to you.
The literature only cost me a trip to Mammoth, but the post office wants over
$3 to mail it, so I'm just covering my cost and rounding up a tad. Please
only request a package if you are really considering attending.
I plan to only open this trip to only 12 vehicles and I think with the
proximity to the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas, that this trip will be
the most popular ever.
Send your info package request with $4.00 to:
