SATURDAY & SUNDAY STAGING

GPS Cheat Sheet

Cell service in the mountains can be unreliable, so we strongly recommend downloading offline maps using Google Maps in advance. (There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube if you need help with this.)

If you stay with the group, you likely won’t need this list. However, if you have to make an unplanned stop—whether due to a passenger feeling unwell, a mechanical issue, or arriving late to a meetup point—you may lose access to route links without service. In those situations, the URLs won’t load, but the address list below will keep you on track.

Simply enter the addresses below in order, and Google Maps will guide you along the intended event route.

ABOUT THE EVENT

Join us for an unforgettable Weekend Getaway to West Virginia, the state often called "almost heaven" for its rolling hills, scenic byways, and charming small towns. As the only state entirely within the Appalachian Mountains, West Virginia offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, making it an ideal destination for our Wilderness Trail Region weekend escape.

From the breathtaking New River Gorge to scenic hilltop views and fun driving roads, this weekend promises history, great food, camaraderie, free time to explore local attractions, and of course, lots of Porsche fun! Our HQ for this event will be in the surroundings of White Sulphur Springs & Lewisburg. We will be staying in the unique The Schoolhouse Hotel, a thoughtfully restored boutique hotel transformed from a historic 1912 High School. Expect first-class accommodations with a modern touch, friendly staff, and a relaxing atmosphere.

In the evenings, join us for a Tech Quiz while unwinding at The Rooftop bar, featuring handcrafted cocktails, wines, and small plates, or dine at The Varsity Club, where upscale southern classics like shrimp and grits await. Enjoy stunning views of the mountains and surrounding town as we gather and relax after our day of exploring.

Carved by the rivers of the Greenbrier Valley, West Virginia’s driving roads are filled with natural beauty—rolling hills, tree-lined tunnels, and scenic springtime blooms at their peak. Over this Friday-to-Sunday weekend, expect to cover about 650 miles of exhilarating driving. For those joining us, we’ll depart from Bristol, VA on May 16^th at noon, but if you prefer, you can meet us directly in White Sulphur Springs, WV.

Schwarzer Berg VI is more than a weekend trip—it’s a chance to strengthen friendships and create cherished memories with fellow club members. As we finalize details, you can expect minor adjustments to the schedule, but rest assured, every aspect—from route planning to restaurant reservations—is being meticulously prepared to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for all.

This is a DRIVING TOUR event with a TECH QUIZ (and prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places)! You MUST RSVP using the form below to attend this event.
