SCHONESLAND PORSCHE CLUB

A Completely New Drive Awaits You

Two Days. Southern Missouri's Finest Roads. Fifteen Cars Only.

We've found something special. Tucked just outside Des Moines is a stretch of absolutely wonderful roads we were delighted to discover — good enough to build an entire two-day drive around. This event is exclusive to Schonesland Porsche Club members and strictly limited to 15 cars, so this is one to sign up for early. Want to preview the route first? Look up the event on Ride with GPS.

Saturday — The Drive South

Please arrive before 8:00 AM to the Hotel Renovo Parking Lot with a full tank of gas. The driver’s meeting will be at 8:00 AM, with the group rolling out together at 8:30. Along the way, we'll stop for a casual lunch at Leo's Marina Bay Restaurant, right on the shores of Lake Thunderhead.

From there, we continue toward Columbia on some genuinely exceptional Southern Missouri roads, arriving at the Stoney Creek Hotel — where the club has a group room block at $119 per night. Dinner that evening is at Sophia's, in a private room reserved just for us. The food and beverages come Skip-and-Dave tested, and the company will be the usual excellent crowd of Schoneslanders.

Sunday — The Drive Home

We depart the hotel at 8:30 AM, heading back toward Des Moines with a lunch stop at Coltons' Steakhouse in Kirksville, MO — a menu large enough to satisfy just about every palate. And as always, expect an extra pitstop before and after lunch on both days.

Worth Knowing

Warm Springs Ranch

Warm Springs Ranch — home of the Budweiser Clydesdales — sits about 20 miles outside Columbia, just off our return route. Logistics didn't allow us to arrange a group tour, but the ranch does offer individual guided tours (mandatory for entry) on Sunday mornings. If you'd like to visit, you're welcome to peel off from the group at that point and use Ride with GPS to navigate home afterward.

Questions are always welcome — just reach out. I look forward to seeing your name on the sign-up list for this one!
