Wasted some time this morning tallying up Pig Party 2022 chatter contained in emails since January 1. Seems like overwhelming site preference is for northern NM/southwestern CO.
Dates are the issue and our emails (from riderjgs, LostOnTheLlano, DTC72, Hank Tank, sahelzer, Lifelong40Fan, PabloCruise, Pigeaten, Megadoomer, RUSH55, landcruisnman and Greenbeast don't provide clarity. Half can make any date we've discussed, the other half have an issue with one or more dates. There are a varying 8 or 9 of us who've weighed in who are available each weekend from 6/17 through 7/17. But we haven't heard definitively from some of our regulars like
@scrapdaddy,
@J Mack,
@fj55-100,
@bobm and
@remy1974,
@Gordobe,
@fj55tlc,
@Voodoocruisers and
@abqcruiser and their input would be important as would input from any others who plan to attend.
Here are the weekends under consideration per the emails, all listed as Thurs-Sun dates, and the number of folks so far who say they could make a particular weekend work. I'll also note that last year's PP in the Black Hills was spread over a couple of weekends to allow for broader participation with some of us with time on our hands attending both weekends. To further confuse things, our 2020 Magruder Corridor Pig Party was in late August.
6/16-19 (8)
6/23-26 (9)
6/30-7/4 (8) extra day with the holiday
7/7-10 (9)
7/13-17 (8)
My attempt to facilitate some closure that will allow travel planning and any necessary wrenching, locals and semi-locals to think about trails and activities and folks like RUSH55 to set a target for getting his Pig together and joining us.
