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.

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, our 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 (even 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]

Hey -- you can drop my Ferrari 458 friend -- I won't ask him on this one, that way we can free up another standby spot for a Porsche. Still confirming my Turbo S friend. (Also minor detail you still have me as no breakfast but I plan to join. Just in case it affects your count/ the reservation.). Cheers!

VGM911/All, I'm sorry this took so long for me to confirm, but I will not be attending the run. I was looking forward going on this run and meeting all of you attending, it will definitely be a nice time. I got a room in OCMD for the Car Cruise the same weekend and will be bringing my 30' Model A Ratrod to rip around down there, should be fun as well and I've never been to this event. I hope you all have a nice and safe drive through PA during this covered bridge run, and I hope to catch up with you all some day in the future. Rob

EVENT UPDATE
I've been able to move a couple of people up from the WAITING LIST to the PARTICIPANT LIST (see POST #81) to replace 2 guys who had to drop off because of other commitments.
We've also had some additions to the WAITING LIST.
Please...if you're on the PARTICIPANT LIST and you find out that you can't attend, let me know so that I can reassign your slot to someone on the WAITING LIST. Thanks.
Note: If anyone on the PARTICIPANT LIST wants/needs a navigator, consult the WAITING LIST for a volunteer.

REMINDER
The Covered Bridge Tour is just two weeks away (May 20th). Keep checking here for updated information as it is posted.
I ran the route today to double-check everything, and will run it again next week. With the arrival of spring, the scenery was absolutely beautiful!
See Post #81 for the latest information at this point.
