CarolinaFan Caravan, the Road Party
The Hotlanta Road Party
begins Dec.29th at 9:00 AM

Raleigh__  Woo hoo!  We're going to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl.  Last count we have 42 sitting in our block at Section 110, Rows 25 through 27.  And we're creating the longest parade of all time, the CarolinaFan Caravan with light blue flags waving!

Earlier this season my friends and I have traveled to the away games.  And we always try to travel together in various numbers.  The most fun trip so far was to College Park for the Maryland game.  Do you remember Lot 1-D?  We lined up on I-95 and used CB radios (Ch. 37 or 36) to visit with each other and discuss necessary stops along the way.

But the CarolinaFan Caravan to Hotlanta takes on a greater role, to promote Carolina by making an awesome statement.  Carolina fans not only travel, but they travel in force.  Watch out!  Here comes the Tar Heel Nation!

The caravan is on.  The Greensboro, Charlotte and Greenville meeting locations are set.  The Atlanta arrival location is ready too.  A general overview for the 4 part Road Party is provided below.  You can click on the small maps for a larger view.

A Carolina fan, who lives in Atlanta, suggested the arrival location for a short greeting party.  Who knows... maybe a local TV station will film us by helicopter as we roll in.  Is this cool, or what?  This is one road party I don't want to miss.  Hope you don't either.  With your CB radio, tune in on Ch 37, or Ch 36 as an alternate.  I look forward to seeing you on the 29th.

Go Heels!
