This Weekend at Grand Lake

Good Morning,

If you don’t know about the Big Meat Run in Disney… well, you’re in luck.

Because it is this weekend and you can find out all about it.

This thing brings in thousands, yes, THOUSANDS, of people to little ol’ Disney Oklahoma for a weekend full of rock crawling and good times.

The people with the Big Meat (that’s slang for BIG tires if you didn’t know), plus all the 4×4s and RZRs and such will be down on the rocks below the dam and spillways.

Well, actually, they will be everywhere because there are so many of them.

But, just being in Disney, you’ll get a feel for how big of a deal this is.

And, you want to talk about food trucks? This is the biggest ‘Food Truck’ event of the year around the lake. So, bring your feedbag, lol. (Also, shoutout to the Forge food truck people… oh so good!)

For more info, including the schedule as last I saw it, plus a link to the history of the event (perpetual hat tip to John Sumner, rest in peace), and more, GO HERE, or if you are a Facebooker just search for Big Meat Run and you’ll find all sorts of stuff.

Oh, a heads up, it will likely be a little dusty and dirty, lol.

Anyway, that is that, and here is what else you need to know for this weekend at Grand Lake:
