Promptly at 9 am, twenty-one Porsches assembled by the lake in Lakes Regional Park in Fort Myers. After coffee and a pep talk the participants set off in search of the answers.
There were 10 photographs of items somewhere on the route (not in order) and 20 cryptic clues at specified odometer readings.
The route went across the Cape Coral Bridge, through Cape Coral to Pine Island via the colorful area of Matlacha and onto the fishing village of Bokeelia. Then it continued up to Ponce De Leon Park and through the historic area of Punta Gorda across the Peace River into Charlotte Harbor.
No one got lost and as they arrived the cars parked under the Portofino restaurant where we had a splendid lunch. The restaurant had gone to a lot of trouble even naming the dishes after German and Porsche names!
The marking was completed and although no one got full marks all the clues were found by someone!
Prizes were handed out and after much car talk and tire kicking everyone dispersed for home.
It was a lovely sunny day and the comments on the occasion were very complimentary. It was interesting how few people had visited the area and many vowed to return to explore some more!
