to follow Route 9D north along the eastern shore of the Hudson River. There will be a location to temporarily park along the way to grab some Castle photos. If you are interested in some good Castle pictures, bring a pair of hiking shoes because you will need to take a 5 minute walk that can be a little rocky and muddy. (Hani (03C4S) did the walk so ask him if you have questions about this aspect). The Bannerman Castle can be viewed from that location. This is it:

I am surprised Ken did not post anything over here on Rennlist. It appears that most of the participants were from 6speedonline. There is quite a number of photos posted on their site. Try thishttp://www.6speedonline.com/forums/ Then click on "Scheduled Events" then April 4th outing. The pics start about page 17
It was a shame the weather was against us. But despite the inclement weather the event was a hit. Very well organized I believe over 70 cars despite the conditions. Some minor mishaps like a 928 spinning into the mud and Rocketman getting a ticket after being followed by the cops for about 5 miles.
I have never seen so many 996TT's in one place at a time. Every car was gorgeous and the route was incredible. The weather made it very rough and my poor car took quite the pounding. Road gravel and lots of water. This is were the 4 wheel drive gives the TT's and the C4's an edge. Although the High Flow K27 made a big improvement in this type of weather.
In any case to make it short it was worth it and I would do it again in a second. (hopefully in better weather were I can show those TT's what a real turbo is all about
.
I would like to thank Ken and Porsche Babe (Michele), Darren from 6Speed and all the other sponsors for making it a very enjoyable and memorable day. The goody bag was packed full of great stuff and the organization was top notch.
I would also like to thank those involved with the PCA and the gathering at Patterek's. It amazes me to see the time capsule of goodies he has stored down there and especially appreciate the invaluable tips and pointers given.
