Already registered. This will be my 2nd Parade and really enjoyed the 1st one.

I think Monterey is the perfect location for a Porsche Parade. Highway 1 to Carmel and Big Sur or Head North to Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay or San Francisco/Bay Area.

I'm driving Sydney out (the CSS). Really looking forward to it. Should be tons of fun.

That will be a nice drive for you. One of the things I enjoyed most going to a Parade/Escape is getting there. We normally do a group drive.

We should see if we can do a 986 Forum lunch meet. We could drive on Highway 1 to Nepenthe Restaurant. Great drive and the Rest has great views.

Nepenthe is about 25 miles south of Carmel. If you're coming from O.C area your best route would be to take the 101 and take Route 46 West to Highway 1 towards Cambria.
Nepenthe Restaurant, Big Sur, California

Another must see is Rocky Point Rest. They are about 10 miles south of Carmel.

My Boxster blew the water pump so I'll be driving the 914. It's copper colored. right now I'm in Cambria at the Cambria Palms; plan on leaving here by 10am and stopping at Nepenthe around 11:30 or so. Should be at Raggity Point around 11ish

Going to volunteering for the tours to Canepe Design and Big Sur, plan on staying at M6 in Marina.

Sorry to hear about the Boxster.

While in Cambria checkout Santa Rosa Creek rd. It's off Main st and head east. Beautiful country road drive. It feeds back to Hwy 46.

Did you sign up for the Boxster Register photo shoot on Sunday before the welcome party? I signed up but I don't know if i'll make it in time. I volunteered to be part of the Welcome party and my shift is 1-5pm Sunday.

I rode a bike a couple of miles up Santa Rosa Creek Road. Pretty cool back there. Didn't sign up for Boxster photo shoot; will be at the welcome party sunday for sure.
