........................................................................ ........................................................................

COVERED BRIDGE UPDATE
Scheduled date: Saturday, May 20th

Rain date: Sunday, May 21st.

Of Pennsylvania's 219 covered bridges (more than any other state), Bucks County has 12 of them (more than any other county in Pennsylvania). I envision a small group of Porsches making a trip to Bucks County to visit several of these 19th century bridges, leaving from historic Washington Crossing, PA. Although preference is being given to Porsches for this event, there may be room for other marques as well if space is available; however, given the nature of the roads we'll be on, the goal is to keep the group small and manageable in size.


While details are still being finalized, we will likely assemble at 7:30 a.m. in Washington Crossing and depart at 8:00 a.m. We are planning to have breakfast (or brunch) at the conclusion of the drive.

If you want to be included on the WAITING LIST, please confirm:
1) your interest in being included on that list;
2) whether you'd have a passenger; and
3) if you would be staying for breakfast/brunch.

I think we would all benefit if we had another volunteer driver (with navigator) who is familiar with upper Bucks County and who would serve as a group leader or as a sweeper car if driving alone. Maps and route instructions will be available for your use.

I. Here's the PARTICIPANT LIST showing all who have confirmed their attendance:

01. VGM911 (Boxster). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Driver + Passenger / Breakfast [co-planner]
02. spiderv6 (911 4S). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Driver + Passenger / Breakfast [co-planner]
03. o7silverturbo (911 Turbo). . . . . . . . . . .Driver + Passenger / Breakfast (can also be Sweeper)
04. RobbieRob (911 GT3). . . . . . . . . . . . . .Driver only / Breakfast
05. PhillyGT3 (911 GT3). . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Driver + Passenger / Breakfast
06. TheEngineer (911). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Driver only / Breakfast (can also be Sweeper or Navigator)
07. dgi 07 (911 4S). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Driver only / Breakfast
08. jwerley (911). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Driver + Passenger / Breakfast
09. jsalah (911 4S Cabriolet). . . . . . . . . . . .Driver only / Breakfast
10. FiveRiversGTS (911 GTS). . . . . . . . . . . Driver + Passengers / Breakfast
11. Plenum (911 GTS). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Driver + Passenger / Breakfast
12. erko1905 (911 4S). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Driver only / no Breakfast
13. joedjr (911 GTS). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Driver only / Breakfast
14. todynot (911). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Driver only / Breakfast

TOTAL: 14 cars and 21 people, with 20 staying for breakfast/brunch.
EDITORIAL COMMENT: Now we're up to thirteen 911s and 1 Boxster - I hope I don't lose you guys in the switchbacks and on the straightaways.


II. This is the new WAITING LIST for those who wish to request a space on the PARTICIPANT LIST when a slot opens up due to a cancellation..

01. jsalah's friend (911 Turbo S). . . . . . . . .Driver / Breakfast
02. kahane18 (Cayman GT4). . . . . . . . . . . Driver + Passenger / Breakfast
03. CarCrazed (911 GT3). . . . . . . . . . . . . . Driver + Passenger / Breakfast
04. simchanova (Boxster Spyder). . . . . . . . .Driver / Breakfast
05. ChesapeakeTechie (944). . . . . . . . . . . . Driver + Passenger / Breakfast


III. On STANDBY (I'll need confirmation now that we've announced a date for the event), awaiting transfer to the WAITING LIST:
01. o7silverturbo's friend (911 Turbo)
02. Nick Yoskin (911 GT3 RS)
03. JBT3 (911 4S Cabriolet)
04. Boostede36 (911 4)
05. spiderv6's friend (911)

Lol... I look forward to hearing this challenge.

I'm now (re-)confirmed good to go, *including* breakfast if there's still room.

Is there still space for me to being a passenger or are we full up? Fine if so, not a big deal at all.

Alright so who else is going from SOUTH NJ -- Moorestown area? Anyone want to caravan...? Going to be a super early start...

I've included you as a participant, with breakfast (see post #64 for details). If you want to bring a passenger, just let me know so that I can add him/her to the list and so that we can get a good count for restaurant reservation purposes. I'm glad that you're coming!

We can also caravan together on the day of the event.

Welcome...we're full, so registration is closed; however, I've put you on the waiting list in case an opening comes up. See post #64 below.

Can join the North NJ / NYC caravan going south.

Also pls update me as no breakfast instead - turns out I might need to do some in-law duty right after the drive.

........................................................................ ........................................................................

COVERED BRIDGE UPDATE
Scheduled date: Saturday, May 20th

Rain date: Sunday, May 21st.

Of Pennsylvania's 219 covered bridges (more than any other state), Bucks County has 12 of them (more than any other county in Pennsylvania).

While details are still being finalized, we will likely assemble at 7:30 a.m. in Washington Crossing and depart at 8:00 a.m. We are planning to have breakfast (or brunch) at the conclusion of the drive.

Now that the date is set, if you want to be included, please confirm:
1) your attendance;
2) whether you'll have a passenger; and
3) if you intend to stay for breakfast so that we can determine our parking requirements at the restaurant.

To accommodate as many as of you as possible who have expressed an interest in participating, we might have need for another volunteer driver (with navigator) who is familiar with upper Bucks County and who would serve as a group leader or as a sweeper car if driving alone. Maps and route instructions will be available for your use.

So far, here are people who expressed an interest and have confirmed their participation:

1. VGM911 (Boxster)...................................Driver + Passenger / Breakfast [co-planner]
2. spiderv6 (911 4S)....................................Driver + Passenger / Breakfast [co-planner]
3. o7silverturbo (911 Turbo)..........................Driver + Passenger / Breakfast
4. RobbieRob (911 GT3)................................Driver only / Breakfast
5. PhillyGT3 (911 GT3)..................................Driver + Passenger / Breakfast
6. TheEngineer (911).....................................Driver only / Breakfast (also as Sweeper or Navigator)
7. dgi 07 (911 4S).........................................Driver only / Breakfast
8. jwerley (911).............................................Driver + Passenger / Breakfast
9. jsalah (911 4S Cabriolet).............................Driver only / no Breakfast
10 FiveRiversGTS (911 GTS)............................Driver + 2 Passengers / Breakfast

This confirmed group is a total of 10 cars and 17 people. Hmmmm...all 911s and 1 Boxster - I hope I don't lose you guys in the switchbacks and on the straightaways.


On standby (I'm awaiting notice of confirmation):

1. jsalah's friend (Ferrari 458)
2. jsalah's friend (911 Turbo S)
3. kahane18 (Cayman GT4)
4. o7silverturbo's friend (911 Turbo)
5. Nick Yoskin (911 GT3 RS)
6. Todynot (911)
7. JBT3 (911 4S Cabriolet)
8. Boostede36 (911 4)
9. spiderv6's friend (911)

Please, if you're on the standby list and now know that you can't make it on the scheduled date, please let me know so that I can drop your name from the list. Thanks.
p. Hi I'm Stuart field, please put me on list with a Boxster spyder or 71t...610-360-5988
