Weekend pig plan foiled ... again. Family gone on a National Geo. cruise in Alaska and, we have a garage full of kitchen cabs staring at me every time I enter the garage. ugh. In an effort to bank some points with my wife, I decided to start on...

Was digging through old pics and lookee here. I took these back in the summer of 2016, before I even knew what a Pig was, much less an FJ55. Fordyce Trail, just after Committee crossing. Owner has to be in here, but even if not, they are pig photos.
