    The Weather looks good this time guys!


    Place: Bull Creek District Park and Greenbelt

    Located at: 6701 Lakewood Dr Austin, TX 78731

    Date: 12/11/04

    Time: 2:00 PM

    It is at 360 and 2222 (approximately) on Lakewood Drive. As you go south on
    360 before 2222, Lakewood is a neighborhood to the right, and the park is on
    the left. It is the road that always gets closed by high water when it rains
    more than an inch or so... It is a big COA park and has plenty of parking
    and shouldn't be too crowded this time of year.

    Frank brooks will be bringing a BBQ trailer... he stated the following:

    It works well if people just bring what they want to cook, and they can
    either cook it themselves or turn it over to the grill hands and have it
    cooked for them! I have lots of room to cook for everyone. I can have 4 different mesquite fires going at once, if necessary, so bring anything you like to grill!

    Just for emphasis, No food will be provided.

    Also the Oldsmobile club will be joining in the festivities

    Please let me know if you will attend this event.

    I will be there with the Cutlass around 3:30 or so. I also invited an uncle of one of my friends with a beautiful red '72 GTO hardtop (figured we might as well make it a BOP gathering). You have probably seen it at the Rudy's car shows. His name is Jim Lynch. So, if you guys see him before I get there, introduce yourselves.

    success!

    The picnic was a big hit!

    It was 68 degrees and sunny so the park was a little crowded, but once we found a good spot everything was fine. We had lots of very nice cars... some Oldsmobiles, a blown Viper, a GTO, and cool Buicks, with a few turbo cars too, a cool 55 Century Convertible and my favorite-of-show, a 63 Wildcat Convertible!

    The food was good.

    We had a great time!!! :beer :TU:

    Here are some pictures...
