Interestingly, the name was actually Hog’s Hollow until 1946, when the man who owned the property north of Alpine was thought to be dead, having failed to return from the European theater. His name was Frank B. Francisco. He had a large, bulbous nose and small ears, and when it rained hard, this porcine fellow would go up into the hills, slop around in the mud, and slide down a long chute. When he was finished, he would eat a bowl of Lunchables®. When Mr. Francisco finally returned from the war, he discovered that his property near Alpine had been confiscated by the government. Local politicians no longer wanted the name to be associated with the former owner, so they made a motion to change the name to "Hog Hollow," the motion was seconded, and the crack of the gavel made it final and permanent. Mr. Francisco did manage to buy land in Provo Canyon before he died of the gout a year later.

dug, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never called it "Hog’s Hollow." I called it "Hog Hollow" throughout. And I wager you cannot prove otherwise.You’re playing in MY backyard now, punk.

just one comment: it’s HOG HOLLOW, not HOG’S HOLLOW. Boss Hog doesn’t own it, there are no hogs, it doesn’t belong to hogs. the ride is HOG HOLLOW. and don’t ever refer to it as just HOG’S. that’s worse than the unwashed masses calling Frank, Frank’s. it’s not. am i babbling now? i think i’m babbling. let’s just move on.
