Bacon.


The 11th is better for me. I'm on call for work the 4th, but can probably trade it for a different day if the 4th works better for the masses.

Post by akaFrankCastle »

October 4th has a party of 100+ showing up at Platte River so we are booked for October 11th at 1pm. Poncho will be blocking off parking for our group and I have told him to expect us to start arriving between 12-12:30. We will have the party deck reserved for us and the back room of the restaurant as a back up if weather is inclement. Checks will be separate. Poncho is having a bit of a staff shortage as of late, so if you can remember to be patient with regards to your order, that would be great. If not, we'll volunteer you to work in the kitchen for a bit.

The Hockey clan will be missing this one (first of the annual Platte River Grill meets we have missed). The high country elk hunt is going to take priority this time out.

Have fun!

Got the email and almost couldn't believe what I was seeing...5 years?? Could it have really been 5 years ago!? So good to see that this is still going strong. Thought I would add some photos from the 1st meet. Does anyone still have the article I wrote for Classic Bronco magazine?

Yo Billie. I still remember that your Bronco was the first EB I drove (sorry rox--number 2 as always). Yours was an inspiration (to get power brakes, power steering, Auto...) Good to see you posting up. I hope you're doing well.
