On June 17th, ~7 ~ell-scr~bbed people of the reciprocating engine set, gyrated~ bumped and glided to the music of Don Ricardo. This event took place on the patio of Don’s lovely home in Pasadena. ~he cocktail hour ~d a half was a g~eat social success, high-lighted by ou~ well stocked ba~. Don Sommerville and Ray Kornfeld did yeoman service as bartenders. ~irley Kor~eld was like a butterfly selling tickets for d~i~s ~d my wife, Nicki thou~t ~e wa~ a security gu~d making sure everyone paid for the event.

South Hills Caterers of Baldwin Park did an excellent job on o~ ste~s, li~i~g’up to their reputation. . ~e group enticed Don Ricardo into opening his garages to show us his five M~r~edes ~ll-wings.

RIVER RUN REVISITED

last events ’

Nothing quite like a wilderness, white-water raft trip to get you close to nature.

A bunch of PCAers discovered same, June 10th near Sonora on the Stanislaus River.

The weather was on the cool side of perfect and clear skies kept the photogs hapDy. Although shove-off t~qe ~¢as delayed due to a missing boatman (found out later he flipoed his van in a storm on the way up), plenty of action in the first raoids ~ot everyone in a good mood. ~en got ~dith Savage in the water. After a couple of miles of big rapids and getting splashed with 50 degree ~¢ater, everyone hiked uo l~ose Creek to sample the more enjoyable 70 degree swi~nuing holes. ~d Hedrick discovered where not to step on the way back (didn’t really t~e long to dry off, did it?). i~.ore rapids and sihns of gold minin( activities kept the attention until landing at ?arrots Ferry and camp. Time for dry clothes and good food, not to mention the good humor established by Peter Luelsdorf’s fun friends. Dinner was ste~k onuder the stars and nobody ~ent hungry. (~anks to the Millers for helping with the stove t.~a~.~k.) Even ice cream for dessert.... Sunday dammed ~lorious and finally the ~’~iller-less group (left for head start on way toward Vancouver) was ready for, "Gentlemen, start your oars." &ualler rapids on the second leg, but the scenery was still superb. D~ring passengers w~.~ting to try their luck at rowing had their chance (WATt{ OUT FOR THAT ROCK:). Everyone ~¢as entranced watcl~ing a doe lead her very tiny fa~.m to safety from the watering spot. The last half mile was a rowing exercise as the river lost it’s current and beck_me a lake. ~’~ade everyone appreciate the cold drinks waiting for lunch at Melones Bridge. Back to civili(Did you zation ~ud Porschcs and the drive home. That’s what Porsches are for. l~ave a safe drive home, Peter?)

Curt Kuebler LAKE T~IOE i~E~.i0RIAL DAY On Friday, May 26th, route 39~ between Mojave and Stateline was the scene of many little sparkling jewels winding their way around each other, trying to be the first to arrive at Lake Tahoe.

Peter ~qd Yoka Luelsdorf hosted this event so to begin ~ith, the caravan s~a~t~d out behind Luelsdorfs and their friends sharing Peter’s Audi, when all of a sudden several cars were missing from the group.

Couldn’t imagine anyone stopping to sight-see around MoJave. Come to find out, ~ay and Shirley Kornfeld’s 356 blew a cross-threaded plug right out, but very luckily it was quickly replaced and they were able to continue on. .

I left at 3:30 the afternoon, nearly five hours after the pack had left Saug~s’and arrived only about one and a half hours after all the ’big daddies’.

(I think Ron’s car sprouted wings. Ed.) Running around the North Shore of Lake Tahoe late that night, I passed most of the other guys taking in all the sights,t.

Saturday morning we all left Tahoe Vista to cruise along the lake to Tahoe Ci y ~o~ breakfast A quick trip to Squaw Valley for a view of the beautiDal mountains resul~e~ ~n’a few hours spent for a pleasant horseback ride through the green meadow and across the stream.

Others enjoyed boating, water-skiing, riding the ski lifts or Just riding around.

Later we met with some of the party at ~erald Bay, driving on around the lake for lunch at the South Shore.

Saturday night everyone gathered around the cottages on the beach to enjoy a ba~b~q~e, with the girls preparing baked potatoes, salad and hot bread. Don Sommerville and Duane Alan shared what looked like one half of a cow.

Sunday morning found Tom Terrell washing his car again, with Ralph Boothe ~i~i~g him moral support. Soon, small groups left for Harrah’s Auto Museum in Reno, with Nick and Cece ~h~iesen leading our party through Truckee. As we breakfasted at Sambo’s (won $1.75 on the Sambo slots), Reno was showing signs of it’s usual hot stuumer weather...

At the museum, the first few hours were spent walking through the buildings, up ~nd down row after row of perfectly restored vintage auto_mobiles, ranging from the Thomas Flyer which won the New York to Paris race in 1908 to a 1955 Chevrolet. Then Peter arrs_uged a tour for us of the library various shops for a view of the equipment and processes used to bring an old vehicle back to the original. Our guide was George Batcabe, Assistant Purchasing Suoervisor at Harrah’s ~useum and member of PCA, Sierra Nevada Region..

Very impressive place, that auto museum. If you ever go there, plan to spend ~h~ day.... Later next page

L~HqE TAHOE WEH~H~D cont ,J’after returning to the lake, a breeze came up and the water became very choppy, but the weather was still a pleasant 75 to 80 degrees° We were very lucky as there could have been snow that time of year. Some of us had dinner in our cabins while the other troops trooped to the South Shore to a dinner-show at Harrah’s Casino...

Monday morning ~e left early, through Sacramento to Sutter’s Fort and on over through San Rafael to San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge and on home down 101.... Some of the group stayed on until Tuesday morning and Delores and Skee Ziezenhenne motored on up to Vancouver B.C. on vacation.... It was a very enjoyable weekend; those of you who have never been on a Porsche Club weekend have a surprise in store, should you ever choose to go on one.
