Macungie

[other dog]

I understand there's a pretty big truck show coming up in Macungie, Pa. very soon. In fact, it's been called "the greatest truck show on earth" (Doug Maney, 1986).

Just wondering if anybody was planning to go ?

[davehummell]

I was planning to attend with my B model last year, the year before had a great time but I was recuperating and this year I am getting my left eye operated on the Wednesday before so I shall miss it again. Hoping for Gerhart's show I usually attend that one.

That's a very popular show OD. Lots of nice trucks there.  I don't make it as often as I'd like to, but I'm sure you'd see a familiar face or ten there.

Things ain't looking good for that trip (900 miles round trip). Seems like everything around here is falling apart. Wonder Woman is having some doctoring problems. I have been pulling old concrete from in front of shop, started forming today. Tomorrow is choke a doctor day so not much progress on concrete. Next week is clear plugged up with "got to do" crap! So feel free with plenty of pictures from the show!

Don't worry. Hope Wonder Woman is doing fine, maybe we'll see y'all in Winchester.

Saturday. 

Oh, wait I never heard of Macungie. But if I had, the BMT picture is at the Watts tent on Saturday at high noon. 

[mechohaulic]

why is it when logging on to the forum , the Macungie dates are showing 15th --17th; then change to 16th---18th?? ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EAST COAST/ NEW ENGLAND TRAVELLERS== the I -95  south bound bridge in PA is gone . heavy  delays . seek alternate route !! 84-684-287  possible .. due to a couple physical set-backs looks like the trip is out for me = 

[Draggin Wagon]

Well rain has killed concrete pour for this week. I got fertilizer hauling caught up today. Wonder Woman has doctor appointment tomorrow 75 miles away (thyroid numbers out of kilter). There is good chance Thursday morning I might just check oil in Wide Body Draggin Wagon and head out of here. Hope to see all you characters!!!

What if it's raining at high noon, do you have an umbrella I can borrow?

[mechohaulic]

The bridge you speak of is located in Philadelphia. So if you have to detour while enroute to Macungie because of that bridge, you REALLY went way, way out of your way. The efficient routes into Macungie won't even be affected by detoured traffic, it's a long way away.

I got all my pictures from all the cameras on all the days posted up on Flickr...except maybe a few that's on my phone...anyway, here's what i've got so far-

just click on the picture.
