Doesn't sound like a bad idea. I bet some Miami guys would be willing to meet you somewhere to keep heading north.

I'd like to join, if you'd let a lowly RX-8 tag along.

If it matters, I *used* to have an RX-7... http://www.geocities.com/jwitzer

I just reserved a cabin from Thursday night so Friday doesn't have to be so Banzai.

G, I'm in the Brandon area, near I-4 and I-75. When are you leaving and from where?

Anyone else on board?

Can the Miami group meet us near I-4 and I-75, the Jacksonville clan at I-10 & I75 and the Atlanta group somewhere north of the city?

How about the Dennys near Valdosta Ga (exit 5) on Friday from 8:30 to 9:30 for breakfast/coffee.
All the FL cars could gather there & get some cheap GA gas.
The early drivers can eat & hang loose, and those running behind can catch up.
That puts us all to Atlanta by noon.

It seems that the event doesnt begin until Saturday at 10:00 a.m. I am going to drive up Thursday to the cabin and hang w/ family until then. I really would like to go to the meet/greet Friday night. I just don't see myself driving an 1:15 each way for a couple hour kickoff party. I will most likely show up at the Fontana parking lot early Saturday and drive to the Dam w/ the group. Unless things change. If anyone is still thinking of going on Thursday from Fl. to get a good night's sleep I have extra beds at the cabin. Lake Toxaway is a beautiful place! G

Check the RX8 club forum on this. I think JWitzer is coming up Thursday night and staying at the cabins too. He is on the Tampa side of FL.

What's the update on the caravan? I am considering joining the pack Friday. It just seems to be more fun to participate then to drive alone Thursday..

For those planning a Friday trip.
The Florida caravans will gather at Ga exit 5 Valdosta at Denny's 8:30-9:30.
Those running early can have breakfast & hang loose.
Those running late will have time to catch up.
Then we can all fill up on the cheap GA gas & meet the Atlanta caravan for lunch.

I just read from Holly that the Atlanta caravan will be on FRS ch7 (something about a car model number)

In case anyone cares, I'll be driving from Tampa to Atlanta on Thursday, then meeting up with herblenny and the Alabama and Tennessee groups in at 11:30 in Chattanooga for lunch at Golden Corall.

From there, we'll drive through the Dragon to be at Fontana Village by 5:00.

If you'd like to meet up on Friday morning in the Mariette area around 9:00 for the run up 75 to Chattanooga, please let me know.

Directions: Golden Corral is behind Hamilton Place. To get there, coming in on I-75, at exit 3A, take ramp (Right) onto SR-320 (E. Brainerd Rd). 1.1 miles down, turn Left (North) onto Gunbarrel Rd. Golden Corral is 0.7 miles down on the right side of the road.
