The April 7 edition of Porsches and Pastrami started with a volunteer workshop around the fireplace at Durty Nelly’s. Before lunch, President Sherry Westfall explained several ways in which volunteers can help run our events, from making sure that participants have signed the insurance waivers to organizing and leading a driving tour.

Beverly McNeill is counting down the days until her new Boxster S is delivered. Henry Haefele got some long overdue new tires for his 356 kit car.

After lunch, we drove through western Albemarle county to the Mint Springs park (map). This swimming hole is a hidden gem, encircled by mountains and known to few. If you haven’t tried it, you should. For detailed info, click here or here. There are also several hiking trails in the park; click here to download a printable trail map.
