    2016 Bash Statistics...

    Proving once again that neither bad gas, plugged fuel lines, vapor-lock, rich mixture, eleven thousand foot passes, weak ignition coils, nor scarry roads will keep us from our Bash, sixty-four determined FYI Ford Forum members and 17 Mustangs made pilgrimage this year to Montrose Colorado. 
    With local attendees and vehicles we served about 120 BBQ lunches, and filled the park with nearly fifty classic and special interest vehicles. 
    I want to thank everyone who made the trip, you have made me a very happy host.  And extra thanks to Hornman, SteveG, and 6Sally6 who earn extra points for bringing special gifts of liquid fortification for this host.
    I have to say that this has been one of the best experiences of my life.  Every thing just came together and worked as planned....how many times does that happen.  As soon as I can sift through the 22,472 photos that were taken by the various photogs in attendance, I'll post some pix. 
    Until then I have to say:  If you weren't there, you missed a another great, good time...so don't miss the next one.

    BB

    We missed seeing you this year, Barry.  Hope to catch you next year.
    BB's organizational skills were polished to the highest level, as you may well imagine.

    BB,

    It was great to meet you and I don't see how the next one could be planned any better. We had a great time and are planning on attending the next bash.

    I could do Saline in a day, Fort Walton is three days at freeway speed  for me and is more than my old butt and nerves  can handle.
