Hi all,

Well we did it!  The Syncro Safari, Moab '98, is about 3 weeks behind us and
I've just now found a few moments to write a few lines about it.  Much more to
come later.

I for one had a great time and think the other Syncro Safarinauts did as well.
As expected we set new North American records for Syncro gatherings.

SORT Record (Syncros Off-Road Together)
New Record: 5, 4-9-98
We had FIVE Syncros succeed ad tackling the "Top Of The World Trail" together.
This was a great trek and we were rewarded by a truely spectacular view from
the top of a 2,000' (est) cliff.  It truely did make you feel like you were on
top of the world!  The record setting Syncronauts & Syncros were:

Steve & Jo Ann Wacker,  s_j_wacker@JUNO.COM, 86 Syncro, blue
Brian Kraft,  bhkraft@gj.net, 86 Syncro Camper GL, white
Tom & Jean Ann Kirk,  TkJa@aol.com, 89 Syncro GL, white
Dennis & Scott Wacker,  SYNCRO3@JUNO.COM, 87 GL Syncro, white
Jim & Yvonne Davis,  Syncrohead@aol.com, 87 GL Syncro, grey

SIOP Record (Syncros In One Place)
New Record: 6, 4-8-98
We had SIX Syncros all parked together at the Gold Bar campsite near Moab.  We
have pictures to prove it too!  The record setting Syncronauts & Syncros were:

Steve & Jo Ann Wacker,  s_j_wacker@JUNO.COM, 86 Syncro, blue
Brian Kraft,  bhkraft@gj.net, 86 Syncro Camper GL, white
Tom & Jean Ann Kirk,  TkJa@aol.com, 89 Syncro GL, white
Dennis Wacker,  SYNCRO3@JUNO.COM, 87 GL Syncro, white
Jim & Yvonne Davis,  Syncrohead@aol.com, 87 GL Syncro, grey
Scott Wacker, no email address, 86 Syncro, gold

A few other Syncros were in town also, but not part of our group.

Bill Fryer and his wife from Las Vegas, NV.  Bill stopped by the campsite
briefly to meet some Syncronauts and I expected to see him and his 86 GL
Syncro again, but didn't.  Bill, I hope I didn't scare you off?

Peter ? (forgot last name) from Teluride Colorado with a white Syncro Camper
with a 2.2L Subaru engine, ala Kennedy installation kit.

Another white Syncro with an unidentified driver.  He got away before I could
track him down, when I had to stop for a light!

A dark tan colored Transporter panel van - must have been from Canada I guess.

A Syncro that's owned by one of the Red Rock 4-Wheelers club members in Moab.
She went on the top of the world trip and said "I wouldn't have taken my
Syncro up here.  I didn't know they could do this."

This makes a total of 11 Syncros in Moab on 4-8-98, but since they weren't all
"together" I don't suppose I could claim any record for this one.

Happy Trails,
Jim Davis
