East Coast pig run 2009

OK everyone, the dates for the 2009 Pig Run have been set- August 28 and 29 at Rausch Creek. That’s a Friday and Saturday, the last weekend before the Labor Day weekend. If there’s much interest I’d be glad to schedule an extra day vacation and wheel with anyone looking to wheel Thursday, too.

As usual this will be a laid back affair- to say the least. No raffle, no banquet, no speeches- just good camaraderie and great fun. Anyone driving a Toyota is welcome and we have been known to welcome owners of other brand vehicles to share the fun with us. Most guys (but certainly not all) who attend camp at Rausch to take advantage of the free camping available. Those who arrive for Thursday wheeling (Wednesday night arrival usually) get the best camping spots. Joe Mylie and Brian O usually stay up at CampAwhile, five miles north on I-81. Either way it’s usually a great event, except for last year when I laid my piggy on her side…………

Last year we had only three pigs in attendance I’m hoping to see a few more than that this year but regardless, it has always been a fun event. This will be the sixth year we’ve run this thing and it’s always been fun. I believe Joe Mylie and I may be the only pig owners who have been at every year’s running- Joe, is that accurate?

If I can get my rear in gear I will have shirts ready for the event, last year they were $15 each and turned out pretty good. I will have a few shirts from both 2007 and 2008 available at the campground, very limited quantities of those are left.

I will post this blurb on Mud in the events section, and also in a few of the club sections to let anyone who isn’t on this mailing list in on what’s happening. Send a blurb to the thread on the events section to let me know who’s coming. See ya next month!!!! Gary S

To anyone who ends up with a tent near Bob's, watch out for the cornhole, bud.

We lost two days of the forum so I am posting this up again. Tom (Polish brother) from CT needs some stock FJ40 springs since his are shot. If someone has some for sale local I can arrange transport to the Pig Run for him. Thanks
