With planned rest and lunch stops along the way, the daylong drive will feature challenging mountain roads and amazing scenery. SATURDAY – Marvel at the “rainbow of colors” at the Car Show. Find that much needed part at the Swap Meet (or sell some of your junk stuff). Attend a Tech Session or two. Go for a drive. Take a nap. Feast at the awards banquet. It’s a day filled with activities! SUNDAY – Revel in the sounds and smells of dozens of 914s firing up to hit the road for home.

Just made reservation at Highland Manor Hotel attempting to use their web site, and it stated No Reservations Available. The hotel has blocked all rooms for the event, so have to make reservations by phone. Done! It was a perfect location last year, good breakfast at Pancake House right across the road from the hotel.

Call them to reserve a room. Dont go on their web site to check for rooms. They blocked out the rooms for us so it shows no availability. Hope to make it this year.

Yes, you should have received an email with event info including the password to that section of the web site. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll send to you. steve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

I'm surprised by the lack of activity in this thread.
In past years the Okteenerfest thread was highlighted in Orange to call attention to it. Maybe this could be done again. |

So bummed I can’t make it. Sounds like an awesome gathering. I plan to sell my BB soon to make room for the -6, so hopefully someone else will take my car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
