Last month we had a successful drive to many points of interest in Southern Utah. On Day One we departed at the Lake Mead NP entrance and had an enjoyable drive on the North Shore Road. After a rest stop in Mesquite, we took Hwy 91 which is the old highway toward St. George. Taking the Gunlock Road, we arrived at Vejo for lunch and pie! Then we swung to the west on SR 18 and eventually arrived at Cedar City. This means we only were on Interstate 15 for about 15 miles!We had a superb dinner at Chef Alfredo’s Italian Restaurant. 

On Day 2 we headed uphill to Brianhead and Cedar Breaks. After being stuck behind a slow-poke for the 10-mile uphill climb, we were turned loose to [...]

SPANISH COOKING AT IT’S BEST!

If you have not eaten at Tres Cazuelas yet, you need to! What a great experience in Iberian Peninsula cuisine. Club members started with a wine tasting and then proceeded to the cooking presentation. Chef Angelo Reyes took us through the steps of preparing paella. Originally, this dish from the 1800’s combined your weekly leftovers, but now it is quite a delicacy. The right ingredients and careful preparation is the key to a tasty dinner. Rather than leftovers, our paella included rice, chicken, pork belly, jumbo shrimp, mussels and clams seasoned just right. Yum!

The LVR Board and 50 th Committee have been working for months on our big Birthday bash. What a time
we had! There were many things to do at the celebration. Listen to the fine vocals of Michael Ross
Nugent, get your picture taken at the step and repeat with Las Vegas Showgirls, view our charter and
other memorabilia of our club’s earlier years, eat Wicked donuts, and view over 150 Porsches! We had
Porsche visitors from Leipzig and Switzerland join us in the celebration. Past Presidents shared
interesting stories about club members during their watch.
If that was not enough, 100 enthusiasts departed at 12:30pm for a trip up to Mt. Charleston. We were
greeted with snow along the roadway and delicious Geo’s Tacos. The drive topped off a great day!

We had scheduled a tour of the Phil Maloof Car Collection last October and we quickly sold out the 25 slots that we were allotted. I asked Danny Barnett, the tour guide, if we could schedule another visit in a few months. Danny agreed, and we again sold out our 25 slots for the February 25th tour in a hurry.  Those who attended were not disappointed. Treated to pastries, the tour of about 100 cars in a dozen garages began.
