Grill\, or the 1909 Restaura nt for finer dining.  For reservations at the Hawkeye Grill call (607) 54 4-2524\, and for the 1909 call (607) 544-2548.\nOn Saturday morning\, regi stration continental breakfast begins at 7:00 a.m. in the gracious Glimmer glass and Fenimore dining rooms overlooking the lake.  The mandatory driv ers and passengers safety and route briefing will convene at 8:35 a.m.\, a fter which drivers will head out on a navigational\, directions-based tour exploring the Catskill mountain area south of Cooperstown\, concluding at our lunch destination in Windham\, NY. \nFollowing the buffet lunch\, yo u’ll embark on another navigational\, directions-based tour that will ta ke you back to The Otesaga.  Or\, if you prefer to return sooner to begin your partying\, get a massage (request your 15% discount at the Hawkeye S pa)\, hike\, shop\, or whatever\, simply take the more direct route that w ill also be provided.\nFor anyone joining us for the first time – a hear ty welcome.  Your registration packet will include a detailed route to an d from our lunch stop\, that my wife Carol and I have travelled many times \, revising and correcting along the way.  Unlike most PCA tours\, we dri ve on our own (not as a convoy).  Though you’ll typically find yourself part of a multi-car pod.  Make a pit stop or pull off to take a photo wh en you want\, and pick up the next pod coming down the road.  Want to spe nd time with some different Porsche models of varying configurations and c olors?  Just safely pull off the road and join the next pod to come along .  However\, if you decide to take an extended off-route excursion\, and the sweeper car passes you by\, you will have “officially” left the to ur for insurance purposes.\nAt 6:00 p.m. Saturday evening\, we’ll meet f or cocktails and hors d’oeuvres back in the Rotunda and Ballroom.  Our plated dinner begins at 7:30 p.m.\, just across the lobby in the adjacent Glimmerglass and Fenimore dining rooms.  After dinner there’s time for more socializing.  From 7:30–10:00 a.m. Sunday morning\, a full\, hot\, buffet breakfast will be served back in the Glimmerglass\, after which yo u’re on your own again to head home\, or stay longer and enjoy the charm s of upstate New York.\nRemember\, this is a Tour\, and we expect you to f ollow all the laws and regulations pertaining to the public roadways we’ ll be traveling.  We’ll be on many narrow\, 2-lane roads\, so please gi ve pedestrians and bicyclers a wide berth.  If you have the urge to exerc ise your Porsche more fully\, we would highly recommend attending one of t he many Driver’s Education or Autocross events hosted by the Northeast R egion.  IMPRUDENT OR DANGEROUS DRIVING BEHAVIOR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED DUR ING THE RAMBLE.\n \;\n\n The Friday rate is for your room only and inc ludes all taxes and fees.
