66th Porsche Parade 2022

STORY AND PHOTOS BY Rook Younger

This year’s week-long PCA Parade event was held at the Kalahari Resort in the Pocono Mountains in Northeastern Pennsylvania, a couple hours’ drive from New York City, New Jersey, or Philadelphia. In June the Poconos are beautifully lush and green, and provided a welcome contrast to the record-breaking temps which we dodged while Debbie and I were away from our desert home.

The resort is a 2-hour drive from the Philadelphia airport, where we picked up our rental car and headed to the town of Mt. Pocono. The Kalahari is an Africa-themed vacation resort featuring a huge indoor water park, an arcade, and other family-friendly elements. Their newly opened convention center was the scene for PCA Parade 2022.

Debbie and I did not stay at the resort, for several reasons, but we found a convenient alternative among limited options, at a Comfort Inn only two miles away. Yeah, not so “resort-y, but we knew we wouldn’t be spending much time in our room anyway, as we had work to do every day of the event. And we didn’t pack our swimsuits for the waterpark anyway.
