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!

On Saturday, May 15th we will meet at 9:00 AM at Chevron station at the Murphy store, with departure at 9:30 to Crescent City via Highway 199, to lunch at Cristina’s Restaurant (Mexican) in Crescent City. Dining in is ok. A visit Jedediah Smith Redwood National Park, maybe the trees of Mystery, followed by a drive back along 199 home. The Smith River Canyon should be gorgeous. And who can say no to giant Redwoods?
Join us for a drive through spectacular twisties along the Umpqua River, ending at Henry Estate Winery. Bring a picnic lunch or pick up a snack / light lunch at the Lighthouse Bakery, just before the winery. If you’d like to taste wine, the cost is $5 for 5 tastes, with the fee waived if you buy a bottle. We will have two drive groups from which you can choose: Enthusiast and Touring. Overall pace will be similar, but the Enthusiast group will feel a bit quicker. RSVPs to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org are essential.
Remember: Safe driving is always paramount.
Join us as we drive some of our favorite back roads to Cottage Grove, then turn south past Cottage Grove Lake and enjoy twisty bits to Sutherlin, ultimately arriving at Reustle-Prayer Rock Vineyards in time for lunch. Reustle Vineyards will offer gourmet burgers for purchase as well as wine tasting opportunities. Early RSVPs are essential so we can let the winery know how many people are coming, how many plan to purchase food, and how many plan to taste. Please RSVP now to centralchapter@cascade-pca.org.
Plan to arrive at 9:00 AM at Lowes on West 11th in Eugene for a brief driver’s briefing and prompt 9:30 AM departure.
