Oregon '07 Trip Overview

The 2007 Syncro Safari adventure took place in the area around beautiful Bend, Oregon.  We experienced 4-wheeling adventures from pines and lakes to san dunes, all within a few hours drive of Band. Eight Syncros and their inhabitants attended and enjoyed the event.  It was a bit different this year as Syncro Safari joined with NorthWest MogFest during the last couple days of the week and we had fun in Sheridan with a variety of European 4x4 machines including Mogs, Pinzgauers, and Land Rovers.
