Unfortunately we're not going to be able to make it to SDMe either. We just
got back today, and have too much work to do in addition to trying to get
brady's rig ready to rock and roll ha.
Next year we may be able to do both, as we've now decided to close Bostig
every May from here on out so we can get some vacation time and a good epic
road trip in like this year. For people wondering about video/pics we shot
over 20 hours of video and 1400+ pics from the whole trip which is getting
edited down. If we end up with anything half decent we're sending it into
the contest the travel channel is running looking for good travel videos...
should be cool 3500+ miles in a supercharged syncro westy lent to us by a
customer and I can't count how many random cool cool people we met. Tons of
folks at SDM 07, Eric riding alone in death valley, to big travis, lisa,
eric, and Winston in Zion... even down to rick that runs trains for the
commuter rail here in boston on the very last leg of our trip as we got back
to the shop. EPIC.
But we can't take more time off as we need to get conversions off to cool
dudes like Mike H. and Andy B. that let us delay shipment so we could make
our walkabout dreams reality. You guys have fun, and take lot's of pics and
video. Also someone needs to roll their van to show the west coast guys
you're trying ;)

Normal work yes. I am doing a conveyor replacement project at work. Had to
coordinate a shut down, contractors, etc. Gotta do what I gotta do. I am
very disappointed also.
