A big thanks to John and Karen!
There were over 30 Sprinters in attendence this year.
As others have said, it was great to put faces to names and see some pretty imaginative modifications (RV/campers).
OrioN and Buster live full time in a Sprinter-in-progress. That's as hard core as I can imagine.
The food and the conversation were great.
John had just finished putting in one of his aux fuel tanks into a behmoth of a Sprinter RV.
This RV belongs to a great guy named, Chip. The rig was on jack stands so anyone was welcome to take a creeper and review the art and science of John's custom-fabricated fuel extra tank.
Troy from McCoy Freightliner brought a 2010 2500 cargo van for everyone to paw and maul.
Parties like this don't just happen. The community really needs this kind of gathering to share information, meet really cool people, share stories, solve problems and have a great time.
Karen and John Bendit spent a lot of time and energy putting this together: food, shop clean up, tables, stickers, printing up forms to fill out and place on the windshield so everyone knows who owns which Sprinter.
If you're passing Tualatin, OR on I5, you owe it to yourself to stop in and say hi. John's got a lot of experience, a lot of hand-made, custom products and raw talent; all things that can make owning your Sprinter less of a mystery and more of a pleasure.

PS: I haven't had time to edit/compress the 171 MB of 30 pictures I took. It'll be a while, but I'll try to put them up.
