Any stay tuned for info on the second annual Hollister
Hills Spring Syncro Meet/Event in late April or early
may, to be sponsored by Syncro.org.  There will be a
few events for the kids, including a remote control
off-road car/truck race (and laying out the track for
the race), games, perhaps a treasure hunt or some
contest of some kind.  There will be a social hour or
so in the evening with wine, cheese, beer, mineral
water, etc. to help ease the pain of the
non-syncro-crazed-significant-others.  Of course, there
are campfires at night for further socializing
opportunities.

They syncro stuff will include the morning parade up
the trails to the top of the mountain, some sampling of
the obstacle course, testing of springs, air springs
and maybe some OME shocks to test (floor jack
available)...and anything else people might bring, and
plenty of free time to explore the miles of trails.

There are free showers about 2 miles from where we will
be camping.  We will have our own gated area with
direct access to the trails.  A nicy grassy
pasture-like area with some shade trees, good toilets,
water, picnic tables, fire rings and even a stage.  The
area should accomodate about 20+ syncros, so there is
plenty of room.  Non-syncros are welcome on a
space-available basis...and there may be some.

Last year there was quite a variety of extoica present,
and i expect this year to be even better.  Tom and Adam
came down all the way from Oregon!  This year we will
present an award for the farthest traveled!  Here are
photos, thanks to Coyote, of the last event.  I should
know the date here shortly and will post it when i do.
