Thinking about a one day drive. Probably Saturday, September 10. We'll head up to Tahoe, via Hwy 20 and onto Historic 40 through Donner Summit. We'll hit Truckee and down 89 to Tahoe City. I'll figure out lunch once I see how many are interested. From Tahoe City we'll continue on 89 past Emerald Bay and into South Shore Tahoe. Then we'll head down to Placerville, via Hwy 50.
Let me know if you're interested by posting here.

love your tagline!
Awesome. I will check my schedule but I think I am open. Sweet!!!
I like your license plate, Bob!
I was just informed by John Alfenito that this is the same weekend as the PCA's West Coast "Treffen" at Squaw Creek, Lake Tahoe. There will be all things Porsche roaming the roads...
I don't know, Terry. I think the PCA works with the Sheriff's Department to have replicas banned from local roads for the whole weekend.
Might be fun to crash the party, though. I think we could slip in unnoticed if we all wore Topsiders and Izod polo shirts.
that plate/license frame got me out of 1 ticket(80+), cop was a jarhead(Marine) that had a softspot for squids:}

Not sure about the Izod polos but I have enough pairs of topsiders to cover all of us.
THAT's why I like going to "Porsche Fest" Day at the museum of transportation in Boston - so I fit in with my Topsiders. And there are always lots of Izods and L.L. Beans wandering around.....collars turned up and all that. The really cool ones have the Bean blue dress shirt (sleeves rolled up) and a "Mount Gay Rum" faded ball cap, too.
And then, this guy comes in with a loud, obviously fake, flared-fendered car ('cuz we all know that Porsche never made cars with flared fenders, right? - And it probably can't get out of it's own way with that puny, 40hp VW engine in it...That's why it's so loud.) So he parks and hops out and he's wearing (GASP!) an Hawaiian Shirt! Who does he think he is, Hawkeye Pierce? He's not one of US!
Glad you fixed that typo, Gordon.
I can see you raising some eyebrows in that crowd with a flared-gendered car.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
I'm in for the mini tour D'hoe
The PCA is usually receptive Anand, Troy and I were invited on a local run here it was fun ............
If not We can ask a few member to meet us BEHIND THE BACKSTOP at South Tahoe High for a good pretentious a$$ kicking!!
Tebs!!

So since I am in a "P" car, does that mean my spear's should stay home? I can't hang out with those PCA'rs. Way too uppitie. And my 912 is not "purest" even though it is a matching numbers car.
Hey, Stephen. I'm told that the PCA will be in Reno that Saturday morning for the hot air balloon races and then back to Squaw Valley around noon. Leave your Sperry's on and ride over with them. We should be hitting the area around the same time.
DANG! I'd love to join you Nuckel-heads for the Mini Tour D'Hoe. Unfortunately it's a bit too far from me (450 miles) for a one day cruise around the Lake. 
Typo boys.... I did mean Sperry's (the only topsiders).
Terry, was actually thinking if I can make the day work that I would just get in room in Auburn on Friday so I could get most of the day hanging with you all and then break away at South Shore. I will try to get Brian and Janine to join in also.

Then make it a week. Terry will house you at his place Thursday and Friday. Go experience the mini-hoe, lay over another day at Casa de Nuckles, and head home.
I made are all the arrangements with Terry already so you won't have to tell him you're coming.
Jim, we'll do a weekend tour next year, okay? I figured just the locals would respond.
Of course You & Ginny are welcome here anytime.
Bump
What MusbJim said...too far but sounds like great fun and a beautiful ride I am sure. Enjoy all you Northern Cal SOCers!
Next year, Dutch!
Okay, the date is coming up. Saturday, September 10. So far we have me, Dave Mitchell, Stephen Romero, Ricardo Montiel, Tebs, Ron, Barnco Bob, Mitch? Robert Poopiehead? Anyone else? Head count is important so I can figure out lunch.
Those of you coming up on Friday. It's the last Auburn Cruise Night of the year. They close down the main drag in town for vintage cars and hot rods. Also, the big hot rod show in Grass Valley is on Saturday and Sunday, with the 2016 Indy 500 winner, Alex Rossi, there on Sunday. Don't forget the PCA shindig at Squaw Valley Tahoe over the weekend. Lots to do. Me? I just wanna drive.
Robert Poopiehead, oh man, I'm laughing at that one. The harder he tries to disown the poopieness, the harder it clings to him.
Terry, I plan on making it - if I've got a car to drive.
My Speedster has left me and is spending her nights in someone else's garage. You know the drill. She'll come back when she's good and ready to, and not a day before.
What is it about these cars? We can't live with them, we can't live without them.
By the way, Terry, do you know of a place that will rent me an Izod polo shirt for the weekend?
I've got a genuine Porsche carbon fiber ballpoint pen, but there are some social situations where it would be awkward to flash that.
UMMMM I'm new here:
Sounds like a fun drive and I am looking forward to bring MISS JILL to new roads.
MItch!! I would be a tad bit disappointed if you didn't show.. YOU DON'T WANT TOP DISAPPOINT ME!! by the way, by the time we go on this drive I will be an active member of the PCA.. Wear what you want YOUR WITH ME!! 
I hear that we may be cruising past the last town in California to receive a phone landline
AT&T has Terry Nuckles to thank for that.. After a Senior VICE president read his NY Times best Selling book: "WHAT THE BELL? MA HELL", A guide to installing your own landlines with coat hangers and duct tape.(circa 2009)
Needless to say I want to see this town that was started in 1850..
Looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting new people!!
should be a great time!!! Lets get mixed up with the hot rods and have some fun
TEBS
Teby, I think you've got some of your facts mixed up. Go back and reread Terry's book - an illustrated history of land lines in the west.
1850 was the last year anyone in California used a land line.
LOL LOL LOL LMAO!!!! Damit mitch you better be there on the 10th!! bring the damn honda if you have too!!!
Mitch, go up to Tony's shop and offer to help him or get him to loan you his oval for the tour - he'll get it done. BTW, forget the shirt. I have two pairs of Sperry perforated topsiders. I could loan you one.
Tebs, we won't be visiting Iowa Hill https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_Hill,_California this trip - it's not on the way to Tahoe. Now, if you all wanted to tour the back roads of the Sierra Foothills, I would be happy to lead the group on all my favorite twisties. We could easily do a full day of driving.
We'd have to rename the event, however.
Got you down, Ron!
Terry I have been in remodel hell for 3 months. I would love catch up with y,all.
Sure, Noel. You can pick a rendezvous spot in Tahoe or meet us in the parking lot at the Holiday in in Auburn.
OK no worries............. I am now an a official member of the PCA...........
They cannot give us any sheet!! I will flash my BADGE and shut them up!! Snobby bastards.......

They have no idea what they've done. LOL
"They have no idea what they've done. LOL"
That's good, Robert! I can go to bed now knowing all is right with the world...
Terry- I'm in. Size 11 for the Sperrys, please. Mitch- I think you'll have all 5 gears for the ride.
Great news, Mike! I'll post the particulars later this week.
Mike, I'm keeping my fingers crossed - even though it's harder to shift that way.
Terry what is the departure time on Sat? Tony is doing some work on my car on Friday and I am going to crash at Mike's. I am guessing around 10am? I may wake up early but it is harder to get moving every year.
