I just got home from Syncro de Mayo - Hollister.
What a great event!  If you haven't gone, it's worth the effort to get
there.

I've seen so many names over the years but have not had the chance to meet
in person. Tim Smith, for example goes back almost 10 years.
A big thanks to all those who organized the event.  Especially Steve for
encouraging me to come down and making me feel welcome.

My favourite van was Eric A.'s, most quiet and rattle free van I've ever
been in.  Don't know how he did it, but it must be a pleasure to drive.
He's not afraid to use it either, how many times did he claw his way up the
'Stair Steps"?

The Spaten Beer Wagon, with it's continous supply of cold beer on tap, was a
popular place.

The campground dinner on Saturday was great.

Hope to make it again next year.
