Awesome-----  a one-word description of our 2005 club picnic.  There were 56 attendees and a lot of Ford and Mercury products coming and going throughout the picnic.  The rain gave us a minor scare, but cleared up for a wonderful afternoon.  Plenty of food, friends, and cool rides.  Thank you to Paul and Mary Thicke for hosting.
