Richard,

Very nice photos. Now I see why Californians are looking at South West Utah
as an alternate location to live.

I met Bob Stevens last week for some mtn biking
in the San Rafael Swell of Utah.

Another wonderful Syncro trip, this time with
that smug Westy feeling as it rained for 6-8
hours one night and morning.  We stayed warm
with my Carver and Bob's catalytic heater and
our "ceilings."  I took someone's idea of
an insulated barrier at the roof hole to seal
off the upper section under the pop-top and
made a prototype out of a piece of fleece I
had.  Snaps around the front and sides and just
tucks into the pads on the back.  Even a
single layer of fleece works fine--and when you
forget it, you don't bust your head!  Bob made
a similar one, but with better fit along the sides.

We highly recommend this idea and thanks to whoever
came up with it and posted it last fall!
