This is a three-day extended drive for those of you who cannot wait for the June Northwest Passage tour with three full days of driving. We are heading to Baker City for two nights with plenty of driving on scenic, twisty backroads. The actual route will depend upon the level of snowmelt.
Basically, on Thursday, we will meet at the Huckleberry Inn in Government Camp, have lunch in Fossil, and end the day in Baker City where we will stay at the Geiser Grand Hotel for both nights.
Friday, we head towards Oxbow Dam at the Oregon/Idaho border and, depending on snowmelt, we will either go north to Joseph or south to Ontario. On Saturday, we head home via, once again depending on snowmelt, Anthony Lake, Ukiah, Heppner, Condon, and Wasco.
Please note that unlike the Walla Walla Wine Tour in the past several years, we will not be visiting any wineries. Instead, since the Geiser Grand Hotel has a reasonable corkage fee, please feel free to bring some of your favorite wines to share both before and during our two dinners.
Also, unlike previous years your registration fee includes the cost of the Thursday and Friday night dinners that will be held at the Geiser Grand Hotel.
Reserve your room by calling the Geiser Grand Hotel (541-523-1889).
The ticket price is $200 per Person.
We have room for 12 cars and 22 participants. Please arrive by 9:00 am at the Huckleberry Inn in Government Camp (88611 Government Camp Loop, Government Camp, OR 97028). Participant’s safety meeting at 9:15 and leave by 9:30.

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.
