I know we have a number of people in MD, DC, and Va who plan on going. I think it would be safe to start a location for those north of Fredericksburg. I think the entrance of Spotsylvania Mall in Fredericksburg would be a good meeting point for those north of exit 130B on 95south in Va.

Fredericksburg VA exit 130B off 95 southbound. Two lights on the left at Spotsylvania Mall in front of the main entrance. It has a large space for many cars.
Meet between 9am and 10am. Depart Fredericksburg on Thursday@ 10am.

meeting points afterwards (tentative: TBD as we get closer)
B...Emporia Va around 11:45am and 12pm if all is well on hwy.
C...interstate 95s and interstate 40 NC between 1:30pm and 1:45pm
D...interstate 95s and interstate 20 SC 3:15pm and 3:30pm Gas up and eat at Indigo Joes Sports Pub and Restraunt.
E...interstate 95S and interstate 26 SC 5:30pm and 5:45pm
F...Savannah Ga, get hotel and eat/socialize then sleep. 7:15pm and 7:45pm

21 lodging rooms have been reserved for your guests for the night(s) of 04/15/2010 - 04/16/2010, at the special group rate of $60.00 for single or double occupancy.

It is my understanding that reservations will be made individually.

[Kyle.Gilmour]

see yall sooooon

[viper1cobra]

This will be the largest single get together of 2010 Camaro Owners in one place at the same time. We will definetly be making 5G Camaro History.

[IROCanSS]

The MI-OH-KY-TN-GA (and beyond) caravan is updated on page 1, post 2.

This is going to make history!

[Lori's SS]

Coming from Carthage, Ms. Trying to figure out where i could meet up with a group to make the trip.

[1969Fbody]

I checked Mapquest and saw that there were two Carthage (if I am correct).

You can meet up with the Oklahoma group Thursday night or early Friday morning in south Birmingham (we are spending the night) if you are in the middle to upper part of MS.

You also can probably get with the Texas group, especially if you live in the southern part of Ms. I believe they are traveling I10?

[Becca]

Is anyone around Valdosta/Lakeland/Nashville and close surrounding areas gonna meet anywhere and caravan down with anyone...Hopefully I can get off work early!!!!!!!! I won't have my supercharger till the week after C5F LOL!!! But I'll have plenty of memories and pictures and kick ass videos!!!!!

[Sterling]

I just booked my room in Savannah for the I-95 caravan. I can't believe that it's less than a month away now!

[edog]

30 days left. We have 17 rooms reserved in Savannah so far. There are three more left in the block. If we need more let me know. All people in blue have reserved so far.

The excitement just continues to build as the days go by. I can't wait to meet everyone who will be cruising down together. It should be a blast. I was thinking for dinner we could do uncle bubbas oyster house. What do you all think? It is in Savannah, about 15 minutes from the hotel. I will call them if I get enough interest. A lot of people on the site said it is great.

[CanadianCamaro]

I had a thought the other day..... has anyone contacted Summit in Atlanta to tell them we're coming? They might want to stock up on some Camaro related stuff.

I know last year at the Oshawa Meet & Greet we went by the OMS (chevy dealer in Oshawa) and even though it was after hours they opened up the parts/accessories counter. We practically cleaned them out of Camaro stuff!

For Summit I have a few things I want to get so i plan to call ahead and have them bring them in for our arrival if they will
