PCA Tours: Ray Roberts Lake<br />
By Mark Pitarresi, PCA Tours Co-Chair<br />
s <strong>October</strong> arrives I think we can all say we<br />
A<br />
are ready for cooler weather. Of course<br />
cooler weather translates to more power for<br />
our cars. At least it always seems that way<br />
for me. There is nothing like going for a great country<br />
drive when the seasons are changing. Entering <strong>October</strong><br />
we welcome you to the 5th and final tour of the<br />
year, PCA Tours Ray Roberts Lake! The tour is 85 miles<br />
long and we have a rest stop.<br />
At the time this article was written there was no<br />
construction on this route. We<br />
are scheduled to start on Sunday,<br />
<strong>October</strong> 15th, at 10am. The tour<br />
begins in the parking lot of Grayson<br />
College, 1455 W Van Alstyne<br />
Pkwy, in Van Alstyne, and will<br />
end at Prairie House restaurant<br />
in Cross Roads. After the start of<br />
our tour a few turns later we will<br />
be on the Famous FM455! If you<br />
have not been on this road in a<br />
Porsche you are missing out and<br />
will want to attend. This is one of<br />
the best roads in the area!<br />

You can expect beautiful country scenery, twisty<br />
turns, long straights, and great visibility throughout the<br />
route. Our tour will also be taking us around Ray Roberts<br />
Lake. Ray Roberts Lake is a 29,350 acre reservoir<br />
located 10 miles north of Denton, Texas. It is filled by a<br />
tributary of the Trinity River.<br />
Prairie House restaurant is casual and has Texasstyle<br />
food with many beef options in a rustic lodge with<br />
ranch like decor. There are also several other restaurants<br />
in the area to choose from in any direction.<br />
I also wanted you to know<br />
some changes in the PCA<br />
Tours program. With Bill Orr<br />
taking on more responsibility<br />
within the club, Tom Gomer<br />
has taken his place as Tours<br />
Co-Chair. Tom has been a<br />
long time Porsche enthusiast<br />
and we welcome him to the<br />
Tours program! RSVP at<br />

to seeing you and your<br />
Porsche at the tour!<br />
