KY TLCA# 9720 Posts: 2,705	East Coast Pig Run 2005 The annual East Coast Pig Run is scheduled for Saturday, August 20th, 2005 This unsanctioned event gathered many FJ-55's last year and was alot of fun! Saturday's unofficial "official" pig run will be held at Rausch Creek Offroad Park near Joliett, PA http://www.rauschcreekoffroadpark.org/home.asp We are looking at a second day of wheeling either at Rausch Creek or at Paragon Offroad Park (site of the TLCA and GCLCNY's Coal Miner Cruiser Classic 6-24 - 6-26 ) This second day of wheeling is yet to be determined but stay tuned to this thread for details and please feel free to post interest, comments, suggestions, or other blurbs. We hope to get more than last year's FJ-55's this year so if you are a pig farmer in the area and can make it, please let us know via PM. You can also subscribe to the FJ-55 list http://mail.birfield.com/mailman/listinfo/fj55 to follow the development. This ride is not exclusive to FJ-55's but it is the primary reason for the gathering, feel welcome to ride along! Here is a picture of last year's line up and wheeling action... more pictures of last year's event can be found here.... http://birfield.com/modules.php?set_...view_album.php __________________ Jeffrey Save Tellico!

KY TLCA# 9720 Posts: 2,705	I am planning to pre-run Rausch Creek to determine two routes for the ride, one for modified rigs and one for stock. The plan is to meet for a photo shoot, split up to run respective trail/routes per the type of cruiser, meet up for lunch, and then at the end of the day. If anyone wants to pre-run with me at Rausch Creek, post up/PM me, email, telepathy, your choice We are discussing running Friday and Saturday so people can drive home Sunday and still wheel two days. The Friday run will not be the official/unofficial pig run, that will be Saturday so most people can make it! Stickers will be made, any other ideas, food/ etc. post up! It was nice to see all the 55's at the CMCC, what a great weekend __________________ Jeffrey Save Tellico!

Maybe arrange a work party to get the Smurf back on the trails. __________________ '76 FJ-40 with a Hula Girl on the dash for me and a '65 FJ-45 LPB for the wife. Life is good.

Change of plans! We plan to run trails at Rausch Creek on Friday, the 19th of August as a prerun and have the actual Pig Run Saturday.

Wayneraintree IH8MUD Lifer Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: N. KY TLCA# 9720 Posts: 2,705	I think some people wanted to do the primitive camping thing, I know I would not mind. Others want the ammenities of full service campground. I will check with some people and let you know. Hope you knee is better, you can always ride along with someone if it causes discomfort.... __________________ Jeffrey Save Tellico!

Blue77FJ40 IH8MUD Lifer Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: MD Posts: 1,157	Wayne, for those of us that do want to come up on Thursday afternoon to camp at Rausch, when do we have to be there to check in? The website says to call. Will you be organizing all that? Alternatively, what time would we need to be there on Friday to meet up for the prerun (and set up camp)? __________________ '77 FJ40: HFS, 33's, Locked and Low'd

Wayneraintree IH8MUD Lifer Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: N. KY TLCA# 9720 Posts: 2,705	There is a private run scheduled for the same days as the pig run so the "camping" section is reserved for them. We are allowed to camp in the staging platuea area as usual, it is simply a parking lot. Last year I camped near a stream down the road, it was nice. Lynn will be there to check us all in Friday and Saturday AM, basically, you pay to ride once and you are a member of the year, so if you came last year, it still should be valid! __________________ Jeffrey Save Tellico!
