UPDATE TO ROUTE FROM BILOXI TO VALDOSTA...DAY 2 OF TRAVAL!! Thanks to Whisper Jet for the info!!!

Alrighty folks...here is the latest and greatest info for the Texas (and beyond) Caravan to C5F!

Couple notes: 1) copy and post the list of starting points with your name if it's not on there already (or move it if the start point is wrong) 2) PM your Caravan Start Point Leader for info you don't see here or post up so others can also catch the info, 3) List how many folks are coming with you next to your name for a head count!

On to the plan....

I'm definitely thinking about trying to go. Still need to check my schedule and with kids schools and college, but I think a caravan of TX Camaro's would be AWESOME idea!!!

I figured most everyone has to wait til closer to the time as most people have a family/work/school etc. Just throwing that idea out there for everyone who is thinking about going or wanting to go.

Not that I've been to, no. All my events have been with the DFW group, since there don't seem to be too many of us around the East TX area!
