PnP’s at Rock Springs Cafe

Saturday the 28th of February was a good day here in Arizona

(One of the few so far this year…) to make a short drive and meet up with Porsche friends new and old. Having said that, due to it also being Construction Season in the Valley, many of us had to dodge I-17, 101, and 303 Closures to finally head north to Rock Springs Café in Black Canyon City. “The Rock” has a history dating back to the 1800s, including being a military bivouac, a stagecoach stop and a key station between Prescott and Phoenix even in the early days of motoring. Today, it is most famous for pies, though the breakfast was pretty good too, especially since it included nice conversations with many other fans of Stuttgart’s finest. We had a separate room for our group, with dedicated staff, and everything was great. Once we finished our breakfasts, we went out to explore the General Store and the nice garden/ event venue out back. We spent some time getting some sun out by the waterfall, and it was quite pleasant. After checking out the parking lot (for some reason there were a bunch of pretty sports cars out there….) and the rock shop next door, we bought a pie and headed home, making a nice detour along the western side of New River Road and out to Lake Pleasant.

Rock Springs Café makes for a nice trip out of the valley, and has a nice“Old West” feeling that you can share with your out of town friends. Thanks to Dennis and AZPCA for planning this Porsches and Pancakes breakfast run, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the next one!
