PLEASE NOTE: Due to the overwhelming demand and interest in this drive we have had over the past few years, we have decided to offer this drive on two days. When registering, sign up for Saturday April 18th or for Sunday, April 19th. Please note that Saturday is currently full (if you choose this, you will be placed on a waiting list). Sunday still has room to register.
This event is open only to the Schonesland Porsche Cub members. Registration limited to a maximum of 40 cars (20 on each day).
We will be driving to Madison County continuing to Warren County. Join us at the Hotel Renovo at 7:30 with a full tank of gas either on Saturday or on Sunday according to your registration day. We will have our driver’s meeting at 8 with the first group departing at 8:30 followed by the second group of the day 20 minutes later.
Our new lunch restaurant will be the Fairway Frank’s Bar and Grill which is in the same location as our old favorite Pyra Pizzeria used to be with the first group arriving around 11:30 and the second one approximately 20 minutes later. The formal party of the event ends at lunch so after it you can enjoy the rest of the day as you have planned. Machine Shed has also been made aware of our presence the morning of this event, so feel free to stop over and grab breakfast there before our drive (they open at 7 that morning).
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Dustin Pettiecord at 515-808-0770. Otherwise, we look forward to getting the cars out for this great drive that will be the first one of the season for many. To register, click the MSR image at the top of this page!

PCA Treffen Lowcountry - Spring 2026
2026-03-29 - 2026-04-02 | IA
Treffen – “to meet”. That is the entire concept behind the PCA Treffens: an opportunity for PCA members to meet their fellow Porsche enthusiasts in some of the most spectacular locations in North America. From the ski valleys of Tahoe and the Hill Country of Texas to the beautiful scenery of New Mexico and the mountains of Western Canada, PCA’s Treffens provide the opportunity for members to drive some of the best roads in North America and enjoy four- to five-star hospitality at world-class hotels.
The Treffen North America emphasis is on the social side: meet your PCA friends, but perhaps, more importantly, make new friends who enjoy the same type of exclusive experience that the Treffens provide – spectacular hotels and unique driving opportunities set in locations offering unparalleled scenery and luxury.
PCA has put together a four-day event with an emphasis on guided tours hosted by the knowledgeable local Regions’ experts and a Navigators Day Off to allow for doing just what you want that day, with several opportunities for different local and resort activities, all prepared with you and your well-being in mind. After a hearty breakfast, explore scenic driving roads like the Lake Tahoe loop road, Hill Country’s best, Tail of the Dragon, Route 66 and Canada Highway 1 to destinations both beautiful and historic, with lunches included. Return to the host hotel and enjoy a grand Happy Hour with your friends before sitting down to sumptuous meals. Treffens do not include competition, other than how many new friends you can make and how you can enjoy your time in a unique location.
Join us at a future PCA Treffen. It’s time for you ‘to meet’ up with your fellow PCA enthusiasts in an environment unlike anything else you have ever experienced with PCA! Register now at the PCA Treffen site.

If you are unable to start the tour on Thursday mid-morning, you can join the group on Thursday night in Prairie du Chien or in Onalaska on Friday night, but you would miss some truly phenomenal roads and a wonderful time with your fellow Schoneslanders.
The PCA event formally starts Thursday at 9:30 am from the Ankeny Casey’s at 2601 SE Creekview Dr, with a great lunch stop in Grundy Center at the Landmark Bistro followed by an afternoon break at Pedretti’s Bakery in Elkader. We will then continue the drive to Prairie du Chien followed with dinner at the wonderful Angie’s Black Angus restaurant where we have enjoyed great food and service for the many past years during the Wisconsin Fall drive. We will stay on Thursday night 10/2 at the River District hotel where we have a block of rooms at a rate of $149.99. Please make your reservation by calling the hotel at 608-326-7878 and ask for the rooms under the Schonesland Porsche Club room block.
On Friday morning we will take the roads towards La Crosse. We will have lunch in Camp Douglas at the Almost Home Bar and Grill as before and then continue to Onalaska for our two-night stay (Friday 10/3 and Saturday 10/4) at the Hampton Inn. King Bedrooms are $159 and ones with two Queen Beds are $169. Please make your reservation by calling the hotel at 608-779-5000 or better yet using this direct link to our room block. On Saturday we have planned a great drive following the Mississippi River on the Minnesota side to Winona before crossing over to Wisconsin. We will drive through the fantastic curves and elevations in Wildcat Mountain State Park before enjoying lunch at the Rockton Bar in La Farge. Friday and Saturday nights we will have dinner in two groups at Ciatti’s Italian Grill and at Manny’s Cocina swapping locations the second night. Both restaurants are across the parking lot from our hotel.
The PCA sanctioned drive ends on Saturday and return on Sunday is not part of the formal event as everyone can return home to Des Moines on their own whether driving alone or in groups.

On Saturday, September 13, 2025, Schonesland will celebrate our former president, MA Hill, and the 70th Anniversary of PCA!!
The event this year will be a scavenger hunt around the Des Moines metro area! Each car will be given an instruction sheet with questions and stops. At each location you will take a picture of either your car or you. There will be bonus points available at some stops. At all the locations you get an extra point per Schonesland member that is posed in the picture that is not someone from your own car. There will also be points for least mileage driven and no points for the order you arrive at the destination. In other words, it isn’t a race! Instead, it is strategic! This drive is meant to be fun and spend some time outside of your car to get to know other members! Remember PCA’s motto, “It’s Not Just the Cars, It’s the People.”
We will have a driver’s meeting at 9AM after Cars & Coffee. Then starts the strategic planning for your route! There will not be a Ride with GPS route, but each car will need to determine their own shortest route. The prize is a $70 gift certificate to the PCA Webstore where you can purchase PCA, 70th Anniversary PCA, or Schonesland merchandise. If there is a tie, be prepared to have some PCA knowledge!
Only one registration ($20) is needed per car! All monies raised will be donated to MA Hill’s favorite charity, Big Sisters. If unable to attend or want to donate more please use Venmo, SchoneslandPorscheClub, and note MA Hill Charity Drive Donation on the transaction.
Registration closes on Friday, September 12th at Midnight – click the MSR image above to sign up!
