TOURMEISTER’S REPORT JULY 2019

Allen C. Krohn, M.D. Safety Chair, "Tourmeister"

The July Tour for the Shasta Region PCA was a moderate length jaunt

--151 miles that took a mere 3 hours of drive time. The weather was as perfect as one could request--90's in the Valley, but 84 at 3000 feet, where we spent most of our time. The skies were clear and the wind was minimal.

We followed all of the "old highways" out of Redding--Alturas, Ore- gon and 44 until we got to Palo Cedro. At that point, we jumped onto

SR44 east to Shingletown where we took a break at the Shingletown

Rest Area.

From there, we continued on SR44 to MacArthur-Burney Falls. We spent an hour there gazing at the massive amount of water coming over the Falls this year. Of course, several people stopped at the Store for an ice cream as well.

Lunch was then just 15 minutes away at the Pit River Casino in Bur- ney. The meal was very good and the service was excellent! They re- ally seemed to enjoy having us there.

After lunch we headed west on 299 back to Redding.

I received a number of calls and emails from members who planned to attend, but were ill, or otherwise indisposed and couldn't make the

Tour. As a result, we only had nine Porsches with 17 travelers. It seemed rather "cozy" compared to last month's "Zone 7 Tour" with

19 cars in each of three Groups!

Terry Topolski was our Tour Leader as we "break him in" to lead one of the Zone 7 Groups next year. The smaller group this weekend

meant we didn't need a Relay Car, which made this chore a bit

easier.

A good time was had by all, and a special "Thanks and Good

Job", Terry!

We look forward to the August Tour, which will be on the 10th.

This Tour will take us through Lassen Park, over to SR36, then

down SR32 to Butte Meadows where we will have lunch at the

Bambi Inn. We haven't been there in three years. Nestled in the

hills just north of Paradise, it is a cute little place to stop after a

very scenic ride--and they serve a nice variety of great sandwiches!

Reminder: those that attend, will have their lunch paid for by the
