About this event
We will most likely have a critical need for group leads for this tour since several "regulars" are not available. So, if you are qualified to lead a group, please volunteer during registration. Volunteering greatly improves your chances of not finding yourself on the waitlist!!
Join us for the “March Miles” tour – our fifth 2022-2023 "winter" tour. Designed for Members who drive your Porsches year 'round! This tour will feature great spring-ish scenery, new-to-us neighborhoods and rural road driving. We'll start in Dupont and within 5 minutes we’ll be in the Nisqually basin. Our route takes us around and below Olympia into the edges the Capitol Forest with a rest stop at tranquil Deep Lake. Travelling north we’ll visit peninsulas known only to locals yet just minutes away from big towns and big roads. The we’ll explore the Olympic foothills west and south of Shelton. This is tour for sightseeing and driving all rolled into one delicious tour. We’ll finish with a flurry near McCleary and traverse near to Olympia for a late lunch. A great early spring tour with fun roads and great views! Prefer not to drive your Porsche? That's OK for these winter tours!
There are three lunch options. You can review each at the links below and decide on tour what suits you. Note that they all offer takeout service. Also note that none of the three can handle everyone on the tour so plan ahead an "share"!
