It’s Official: 1st Annual Rocky Mtn Syncro Fest
When: August 3rd-Aug 6th, 2006
Where: Hartman Rocks, Gunnison Colorado
Who: Syncro owners from all around
Paste web address for general information about the
area and directions:

Hartman Rocks is located on BLM land 3 miles from
downtown Gunnison. It is a popular mountain biking
location among the awesome rock formations and it has
miles of jeep trails, great spots for a group camping,
moderate 4 wheeling, long hill climbs, and plenty of
other fun things to do in the area if you have the
time; fishing (Gunnison River or Blue Mesa Reservoir),
kayaking, hiking, mtn biking, checking out Crested
Butte, the National Park, and scenic roads into the
mountains.
This is a loosely organized get-together, just a
handful of Colorado folks who thought this was long
overdue. There is no set itinerary. Just a great
place to meet up and enjoy other Syncro folks for a
weekend of camping and exploring.
What to expect, where to meet, etc: The directions,
in the link above, will get you there. There are full
services and groceries in Gunnison just 3 miles away.
There is a restroom at the base parking lot. There
aren’t a lot of people who camp in Hartman but there
may be some jeeps, motorcycles and mtn bikers around
during the day. It’s on BLM land so there are few if
any restrictions.
If you get there early, look for another Syncro and
find a good camp. If you get there Friday or Saturday
we can meet up at the parking lot at 6:00 on Friday or
Saturday night and head up to wherever everyone is
camped if you haven’t already found us.
If you have questions, or suggestions just email me.
I lived there (happily in my van) for 3 months while
working in Gunnison one summer--so I know the area
pretty well.
If you’re not from here, it’s a good excuse to visit
Colorado. If you are, a good chance to get out and
meet some other local syncro folks.
Fun Happens,
Dave
