Welcome, 2025!
Another year has passed, and we welcome 2025. Thanks to our members for re-electing our previous board to serve for two more years. This year will be more exciting than last year. We are adding new volunteers to join our board, we will have exciting drives and joint events with other regions. We will open up another monthly Cars & Coffee on the coast.
We are looking forward to new volunteers to lead the drives. Our board members will strive hard to make 2025 better than our previous years. So hold tight and let the fun begin.
Special mention—we will miss the smile of my lovely wife Jackie on our drives, car events and Cars & Coffee that she supported.
Thank you, and Enjoy the Ride!

Join us at 10 AM at the new Winco Foods (formerly Shopko) on Chad Drive in Eugene for a short, but entertaining Drive! to Thompson’s Mills on the beautiful Calapooia river in Shedd, Oregon. Thompson’s Mills is a unique survivor of times past; the last water-powered mill in the state that still runs the milling machines for demonstrations today. Bring a picnic (we’re scouting locations to pick up lunch near the mill), take a tour, and just chill in this great spot. Don’t forget your State Parks pass, if you have one!
July 30 is Porsche Day at Portland Cars & Coffee, sponsored by Porsche Beaverton. Portland Cars & Coffee has been going strong since 2008. Originally laid out in a small parking lot with a group of friends getting together, it is now the largest weekly gathering of enthusiasts in the Pacific Northwest.
Note that this is not a PCA-sanctioned event. It’s an early start (8 AM) and there will not be an organized drive to the venue. But it should be quite an event!
Join us on Saturday, August 13 for one of our prettiest twisty drives! If you haven’t driven Tyee Road before, it twists along the banks of the Umpqua river, from just south of Elkton to the little town of Umpqua, just east of Sutherlin. We’ll picnic (and taste wine, if you’d like) at Henry Estate Winery. For those who don’t want to pack a picnic, we’ll make a stop at the Lighthouse Center Bakery in Umpqua to pick up food. It’s a fantastic drive that is completely paved, even the short bit to the winery.
We meet at 9 AM at Lowe’s on West 11th in Eugene. Hope to see you there!
Join us for one of the more unique drives on the calendar. Meet at the Edgewood Center at E 40th Ave & Donald St in Eugene at 9 AM. After a brief drivers’ meeting, we’ll roll at 9:30. After a quick pit stop at Dorena Lake (which is a little gem all on its own), we’ll enjoy a low-speed autocross-like route through the forest, ending with lunch at the Steamboat Inn on the banks of the Umpqua River. RSVPs are essential so the Inn can accomodate us. Send email to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org/
Join us for our final Drive! of 2022, which will end with lunch at Deb’s Cafe in Alsea. Plan to meet at Lowe’s on W 11th in Eugene at 9:00 AM for a brief drivers’ meeting. We’ll roll at 9:30. Routes are still being considered, so watch this space for the latest updates. October usually serves up good weather, but we will drive, rain or shine.
