Last year I made it in 1183 miles one way - the West Coast Caravan was a blast! Not so sure I can make it this year. Maybe I'll fly down :)

I'm in. Does 2 cars make a caravan? :) Honestly though, the 7 guys have a large contingent that hook up at several locations thoughout the bay area before it joins up with the main caravan at the I-5.

So, how does it work then? I know some RX-7s are meeting up at Vallejo. I don't think a Vallejo drive for me would be practical, considering everyone's going south after that.

There will be a stop in/near SJ on the way south before cutting over to I-5. This is routine for a lot of the 7 guys. They have all the gas stops/ meeting points well planned. Just watch the forums as the date gets closer.

It will be fun to be part of a large caravan, I guess that makes up for getting up so early!!!

How early are we talking. I get up at 4:45 daily, so I doubt it would be a big deal, but if they are meeting at 4am, I'll see you all there.

QBallz I think you were actually there before we arrived. I don't recall what time we got there but we were running late. Sorry we missed you. We ended up splitting up not too long after that stop anyways. Most people took 405 and a couple of us stayed on 5.
