Events/Trails SSS (Southern Swine Soirée) 2023 - Land Between the Lakes KY. Let’s go!

[Megadoomer]

I haven't been to an SSS but I assume it is a lot like a Pig Party. Just think of it as you would be camping normally with your own gear and food, and beer. Don't forget the beer. Just with a group of people that share a sick love for 55s and Land Cruisers in general. These are not organized like any event the TLCA would do. The only organization is the place and date. And that's it.

There is always plenty to eat, drink, and lies to tell. Very laid back gathering.

I imagine about 8-10 Pigs and another 8-10 TLCs.

We have 4 trucks coming from Tuscaloosa area, leaving Thursday morning.

Since I am not a camping type person anymore I have secured a room about 5 miles away from Colson Hollow. Hoping for better weather than SSS2019... I still have Illinois mud under my pig.

Don't forget the beer.

You mean bourbon.

There is always mud in the LBL. Rain or shine.

 

[NOSAJ]

So I’ve got 19 days to get the pig going?!

You mean bourbon.

Yeah, I don't drink much beer anymore.

Will pry bring some 'shine from Clarksville to represent.

So that means @bobm is driving the pig down loaded with a dozen cases of beer, two cans of beans, no shoes and a pan this year?

Had to pass thru Grand Junction. Hope you waved as you went by.

 

[Thechief86]

I'll be heading out to Ouray and probably Moab in my 60 next weekend. I can't frickin wait. I'll probably stop into LBL on my way back home and at least say hi if not camp/wheel with you guys.

Anyone know of a place near where we'll be that is going to have wifi? I had planned on heading down Thursday but wife has a zoom call she needs to be on Friday from 8-12.

 

[dingoFJ55]

I think the little town I am staying in is Aurora. I think it is about 10 miles away from Colson Hollow... someplace there might have it or possibly one of the marinas. Call the camp site and see if they have suggestions for wifi.

LAST DAY to grab some SSS '23 swag. Going to close page tonight, and move stuff to production.

Southern Swine Soiree '23

Tell me... What's better than Bourbon and Bacon? Go ahead... I'll wait. The Pigs are taking over Land Between the Lakes, sampling the finest Kentucky bourbons and off-road 4x4 tracks. Grab your Official Southern Swine Soiree for 2023, and commemorate this epic collaboration of bourbon and bacon!

If it were a Tennessee State Park, it'd have wifi at all the campgrounds.

Unfortunately it's federal.

I'll give wifi a think and get back to you.

The "easy button" is the McDonald's at the south entrance to the park.

I have a hotspot through ATT. Not sure if it will put out the juice for a zoom call though.
