Syncronauts, Jay's story below has prompted me to propose something I've thought about for quite a while. A "Syncro Convention" - sort of. I'd like to tool around the trails in my Syncro as Jay has done and I'd really like to do it with 3 or 4 (or 50) other Syncros. Each Easter four wheelers decend on Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari put on by the Red Rock 4-Wheelers. While "Jeep" is in the title, the event is open to all 4WD vehicles. They organize a bunch of trail runs rated from 2.5 (fairly mild, 4WD required) to 4+ (BIG tires, LOW gears, locking differentials and winches!). I think this would be an ideal time for Syncronauts from all over to gather at Moab and do some wheelin'. I know there will be a TON of other 4-wheelers there at this event, and that would be sort of part of the point. I really enjoy seeing the jaws of Jeep drivers drop when I meet theem on the trail. Having a whole group of us will multiply the effect and be especially fun! I volunteer to coordinate this effort and handle the registration (yes, it's quite organized) for the group. This registration will need to be done in February. So, who's interested????

I asked the young bucks, cause I'm 37 now, if they needed any help but they just tried to look bored and said "Naw". Feeling completely Herculean, ..................... >>
