We had over 80 Broncos together today!

Looking forward to hearing more! :geek:

Nice! I notice a lot of jackets, coats and such. Here in the south, we will be running the air conditioner until New Years 😆

It was about 70 degrees (way warm for us) but super windy and a few drops of rain on and off. If the weather was better, I would be afraid of how many Broncos we would have had 😉

That's awesome. Wish we could get something like that going around here.

Well, it’s not easy, but we are thinking about how we could build a somewhat “repeatable” process for people to build clubs like ours in other states. First thing, you need to have someone to step up and start the process. We had a few people from another forum and Facebook meet up about a year ago at this same park. Now we have about 1300 members between all of the different forums and formats. It does take work, I would say the key 7 people that “lead” the club each put in at least a few hours a week (or last week probably more like 20) of their time and we all have put in $ as well. We now have revenue from our “hand made” merchandise (ride stickers, t shirts, mugs and club stickers) so hopefully it will soon just be an in Investment of time. We are talking Bronco Nation and Ford about what we want to do and how we think we can/should build our training programs, Tread Lightly projects (trail maintenance and training) and events. The thing that stood out yesterday? The Ford Team and Bronco Nation are truly enthusiasts and care a lot about us Bronco owners. So, stop wishing and start planning 😀

Couple pics from the front mirror. Great time, awesome people. Got to meet the whole Michigan bronco club crew and Laura from the bronco nation.

Not a whole lot of Broncos around here ATM. And it seems like the one's I have run across aren't really enthusiasts. It's more like they just wanted the new hotness. And this is major Jeep country. You can't drive 2 minutes without seeing at least one.

I thought about starting a local group. But may wait until there are more on the roads here.

It was a lot of fun. Can’t wait to do it again.

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s so fun seeing the Broncos out being used off road!

80? I didn't think they made that many.

80? I didn't think they made that many.

We had 83, I think that excludes the two Bronco Raptors Ford brought. It was hard to keep track!

That's awesome!

At least 84, then, I just party crashed. 😔

We probably had a few more that didn’t get counted. That was just before we held the raffle and did the giveaways. There were a couple that came later too. It was a fun day!

awesome!

I see the makings of a great community within a community. Cool pix! Great inspiration to others who want to earn their off-road cred or just enjoy good "clean" fun. 😎

It was windy but still very enjoyable. Also terrific to see Ford and Bronco Nation actively participating. Hoping for a winter event!

What a great outing. The park was pretty cool, and had lots to offer everyone. I think a lot of people were offroading for first time. I did the Off-Roadeo so wanted to expand on what I learned. I had a couple buddies out for the first time and kind of led them into some cool trails that they never would have done. They had a blast and my one bud went through so much water and mud, you couldn't guess what color his truck was initially. Can't wait for next adventure!
