| Coal Mine Cruiser Classic 2010, Rausch Creek PA, July 8-10 2010 10th Annual Coal Mine Cruiser Classic, Rausch Creek PA, July 8-10 2010
Check out the Announcement for all details HERE. Land Cruiser World Traveller to Present at CMCC2010
New York - April 12, 2010 - Al Podell, co-author of "Who Needs a Road:
The Story of the Longest and Last Motor Journey Around the World" will
deliver a presentation and slide show at the 2010 Coal Mine Cruiser
Classic detailing his 42,500-mile motor trip around the world.
In 1965-6, Podell, along with Harold Stephens, set the world's record
for the longest non-repetitive miles motor trip around the globe.
Primarily in a brand new, stock Toyota Land Cruiser FJ-40, these two
intrepid travelers drove through 37 countries, a feat that would
likely be impossible today. Imagine circumnavigating the world
overland, driving through places like North Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan
and Iran. Not only was Podell's trip the longest, but it was also the
last motor expedition around the world!
Check the Gotham City Land Cruisers website for scheduling info and
for information on signing up for the Coal Mine Cruiser Classic 2010.
If you plan on going post up here and I'll keep the attendee list updated. Attending (list includes people from all 3 forums - MUD, Blue Room, FJNE)

There is a good cross section of Cruiserheads and I am looking forward to this years event. |

| Thinking about attending. Hey,
I live in PA and Rausch is not too far. I found out about this super cool event from a local cruiser head and am really excited that there are cool events going on close by. I have a few cruisers non of which run/and or are legally driveable right now. I am pretty new to cruisers and working on trucks in general as well as the off road driving scene.
Would it be cool to show up in a 2wd drive Tacoma to camp and maybe cruise around on the bike to mingle with you hard core cruiser heads and maybe get some education and lend a hand with some spotting and whatnot?
Cheers.
