Dust Off Tour 2025

Another tour came to an end.  It was great being hosted by Adam and Tammy Gordon at his Bel Aire Garage. The Mustang Car Club participated and were happy to join our tour.  Adam took us on a ride over to Fallasburg Park and the Bridge along the back roads.  We had beautiful weather and nice scenery.  There were 18 vehicles on the tour for a total of 30 people.  People along side of the road were constantly waving where ever we went. No one broke down. We then went to Ron Alt's place and saw many, many neon signs in his barn. 

After that we went to Ed Dunnebeck's and Girls Restaurant to eat. We had a little wait for our food as it was so busy.  It was well worth the wait. 

After talking with many people, everyone seem to have had a great time. The other car club would like us to get together again.

Thanks everyone for going with us today. Hope you enjoyed it.
