I just registered for this year's event. It's a very Van-Centric, though there were only 4 Astro/Safaris there last year. Given what I'm seeing on Instagram lately, I expect there will be more than that this year - it seems like the IG #Vanlife crowd is finally catching on to these vans.
Anybody planning to attend Descend on Bend?

Hi,
I opened the link and it does look like a super event for 27-30 Sept $75 for nice area on private property.

Man Herbie, I would love to make it to this. I am not saying no at this point but the likelihood is low. I kinda feel there are so few opportunities to meet folks in a format like this that I hate to mis it.

I hear you, Ryan!
I wanted to go last year, and couldn't clear the time off at (relatively) the last minute, so I made it a goal as a "self birthday present" for this year.
