Please join the June SUV Drive on Saturday, June 24. Organized by Heinz Holzapfel, the drive starts in Hubbard and finishes at the Wooden Nickle Pub and Eatery, 108 N. Center St. Sublimity. Zero Gravel, your SUV will stay clean!
We will start at a little known park in Hubbard. From there we will wander south past many greenhouses, nurseries, farms, cattle ranches, hop fields, orchards and christmas tree farms to another little known park called Turner City Park.
After this rest stop we will proceed to our next stop- forty five minutes away, going south through the back roads of south Salem past more Christmas trees, wineries and country estates to our primary destination which is the fairly new Ankeny Hill Nature Center. This stop has excellent restrooms with sinks and running water. I expect that we might spend some extra time at this location. Two of the trails close to the nature center could give us a little exercise. The short one to the Oak Overlook is 750 feet and the longer one past Perigrine Marsh is three fourths of a mile. We should be able to walk around it in 15 minutes if anyone is so inclined.
After this stop we will wind our way north and take a turn through Turner before meandering to the sublime town of Sublimity where we will stop at the Wooden Nickel Pub and Eatery for lunch.
We meet at 9:00am in Hubbard. Participant’s Meeting is at 9:15am with wheels rolling at 9:30. Registration closes on Friday, June 23 at 12 noon.

Maintaining Momentum
Oregon Region is marching through the year at a steady pace. March turned out 11 events, which may be a record for this time of year. Even though it is still early, we have seen a couple of new events on our calendar including the new dining event, Road and Fork, and an out-of-town tech session in Tacoma. I was thrilled at the number of new faces attending the New Member Orientation. Be sure to check out stories about each of those later in this edition.
I realize now one of the key elements of having so many events on the calendar is maintaining momentum while not over- burdening our volunteers. The processes and procedures are ever- evolving, and while much of it is becoming routine, keeping all the balls in the air at once is challenging. The Drive Team and the Social Committee have been working overtime, and it shows. If you see any of the drive team or social committee members out and about, be sure give them a thumbs up and a smile – they deserve it!
This year ORPCA is celebrating 65 years and PCA is turning 70! The cars, the people, the clubs have a lot to celebrate. Back in 1955 and 1960, there were no 911s, no 914s, 944s, Boxsters, Caymans, Cayennes, Macans, Panameras or Taycans and very few variations on the models that did exist. There were a handful of regional clubs and not many members. Today there are 148 regions under the national umbrella with over 160,000 members participating in over 4,000 events every year.
In the area of Club history and how PCA and Porsche have evolved in 70 years, there are two great things every Porsche owner should check out if you haven’t already. One is the fantastic history of Porsche Club of America found on the PCA website: https://ww2.pca.org/pca- history (login to PCA.org, drop down the “Membership” tab to “PCA History” near the bottom.) This is a long read, but worth it. The other entertaining and education place to spend some time is PCA’s YouTube Channel: If you have not visited the PCA YouTube Channel, be forewarned, it is an addictive spot. https://www.youtube.com/@ PorscheClubofAmerica/featured
With nine more months of this exacting year ahead, I trust I will bump into many of you more than once and that alone makes it worthwhile. As you know, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people.
