Mach1 - Yeah! Kind'a scary, ain't it!? Well, if we're gonna do it might as well do it up big! We're up to around 25 trucks and 50-60 people if everyone shows up!

Maybe we should'a gotten a bigger boat - although I think the park can handle all of us. Once the trucks start arriving we should run out any left over tourists!

Sound the trumpets! Shout a cry to the World! Proclaim to the four corners of Texas that Central Texas Ford Truck Enthusiasts are here...are passionate...and are here to stay!

Let loose the hounds of anticipation as our day of feasting and fellowship is at hand!!

May the gods of long beds, diesels and gassers alike revel in the temple we create from the ashes of complacency!


Long live FTE!


Long Live Central Texas!


All Hail the Power and Family of Ford Truck Lovers!!


5-1/2 days left until Central Texas thunders with the sound of friendship and camaraderie!


Join us for one "DAM" fine picnic!
  • RR 620 between Bee Cave and Round Rock at the Mansfield Dam Overlook Park
  • 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
  • No rules, no agenda
  • Bring a lunch and something to drink!
See you there!

Hopefully you're only wounded and will be able to crawl bloody and cyanotic to the picnic, John.

All - I will be in travel status on Wednesday, Feb. 7th and may not be able to respond to your posts until late afternoon on Thursday the 8th.

Have no fear - the picnic date is near!
'tho I may not respond to your post, rest assured it's your truck we want to see the most!
'tis a "Brown Bag Lunch" we promote, your favor of this thread we hope you'll vote!
So on Saturday all FTEs will meet, to smile, to shake a hand, to greet!

Later - keep the shiny side up!

The drive from Taylor is about 40 minutes.

Hearne to Round Rock i would highly recommend to just go the speed limit, Rock Dale, Thorndale and Thrall are Really bad about hiding. Just pay attention to the speed limit changes and you will be fine.

Hey Clif, tell your wife my wife will be there with her truck so she wont be totally alone.

I cant wait for this meet, My wife and I have been searching for group to hang out with and to possibly have a Ralley Run, poker run or just hang out at the lake. Looking forward to saturday.

Huitt24 - Thaks for the reply. Glad your wife can make it - I'll tell Karen.

I would love to have a rally run - SCCA Style! Let's chat about it at the picnic!

See you there!
