Jason, your truck was BOSS!! I was impressed, the paint was PRO. The color I liked, You had a one of a kind out there. Wish I could have stayed and talked with ya!!!

Next time we will talk...

 

I had to update my signature...

Thanks for everything guys, and I am looking forward to the next one...

 

Little update from me: Dad's home and feeling better. Radiator is on order.

When can we expect the full awards list?

 

Had a blast guys! Wish everyone, including myself, could have stayed even longer.

Count me in for next time, for sure. You guys sure have some nice trucks, gonna have to do some work to mine so I'm not runner up for the "Plain Jane" award next time .

Thanks again Clif, it wouldn't have happened, or been such a success, without you. Much appreciated.

RangerPilot: Glad your Dad's doing better, you were mentioned more than once. We need you and your Ranger for next time, hope to see you there.

 

i took a couple extra pics...i am gonna post them later...

I am throwing in my compliments too. I was impressed with the way the event was organized and the folks that had shared the same interests (owning an Ford Truck and proud of it). We had given Clif an big pat on the back for doing this for us with the time and effort at the meet. I want to give him another big pat on the back on this thread. Thanks Clif!
Clif, I would like to help you out on any upcoming events you are planning, PM or e-mail me!

 

Thanks everyone for the accolades. However I simply had the idea. You folks are the ones that sacrificed many things to make this work. I had the easy part. Pat yourselves on the back - you deserve it!

Go CenTex FTE!!

 

All of the 80 some-odd pics have been uploaded into my gallery. I started with over 300 and culled out those that were either dupes or of bad quality. Not sure how to advise you to get to it, tho, as I'm unable to come up with a link or URL. Maybe someone here can figger it out and let us know.

Numbering each and adding a caption where appropriate is proving to be time-consuming but I'll get there. I think I've got 1/4 finished at this time.

Should you see one or more pics that you'd like to have the original, untouched version of, let me know and I'll email it to you. Be advised: these images are huge at 2496 X 1664 and a whopping 1.4 to 2.6 Mb in size.

It's sure been fun reliving our picnic through the images. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

 

It rawked.. Grant it I was late as heck.. Next time I'll be on time and with a little less shiny chrome ;-)

LOL!

 

Great pics Clif, a quality job. Brought a smile to my face and they will again in the future. You even managed to keep the Tahoe out of most of them . I still think it should have gotten our "Ugliest truck" award instead of Bluedog's. Bluedog was the default, his wasn't ugly, "Toughest Looking" (IMO, as a backup judge) is more like it.

Rep. points for everyone who attended (and at least one who couldn't )! I think I got everyone, please PM me if I missed you (I didn't keep track). Don't be shy, they're (quite literally) worth their weight in gold!

 

So...I have to ask.

When's the next one planned?!

 

Great pics. Once again, thanks for coordinating this.

And to everyone else. It really was a pleasure to make your acquaintence.

 

Zach, we're thinking about early fall maybe.

Something like another picnic preceded by some sort of a "trail ride" through the Hill Country - like the Texas Forts Trail, Texas Scenic route or something like that. Very much in the "thinking about it" stages right now. Stay tuned.
