The Syracuse Road Party
is ON!! Going to Kenan is a piece of cake. But the real fun
being a Carolina fan is being a road warrior. We love carrying the
Carolina banner on the road throughout the USA. It's like
shouting, "Watch out, here comes the Tar Heel Nation!"
We do our part supporting the Heels.

Mark and I leave Raleigh around 6:30 pm
Thursday, the 5th. We meet
Robbie and his crew coming up from Lumberton on I-95. Let the good
times begin! This is our first Road Party since the Peach Bowl.

Well actually this trip is a
little different since we're doing a lot on night driving.
Approaching DC we get caught up in stop-n-roll traffic for about 30
minutes. But we steadily press on.
|
Around 3:00 am Friday we finally pull into a parking lot for the
night. We were around Hagerstown, MD and right at I-81. Tomorrow we would quickly be in Pennsylvania and on our way to
Syracuse.

Today we proved it's truly a small
world. Somewhere in northern Pennsylvania, we run into this crazy
guy while stopping to get gas and propane. He told me himself that he escaped from the asylum and they
had an APB out for him. We found each other on the Internet last
year due to our tailgating escapades. Whereas I only travel for
Carolina, this guy travels around 30,000 miles a year to all kinds of
tailgating parties. He wanted to know about my web cam technology from
our tailgate parties. I told him to come to a Carolina game and I
would show him. He's really a fun guy to be around. And I
think he just might show up at our tailgate party at the Wake Forest
game this season. So if you're a Carolina fan, you must travel to
Winston-Salem to
catch this act in person. Joe
Cahn, the Commissioner of Tailgating, has www.tailgating.com
with all the info.

Way to go Robbie! That sends the
proper message. Robbie's a UNC Tailgaiter. And we do it again
and again and... Don't you want to join our fun? Travel with
us to the away games.

Upstate New York is beautiful country.
As we come over a hilltop, we get our first glimpse of the Carrier
Dome. We're calling it the Heels House this weekend. Come on
Heels, don't let us down!
|
At last it's official. We've arrived
at Syracuse. Now, which exit are we supposed to take?
|
First order of business is to locate the the
RV parking lot. Coming out of where we will be tailgating
tomorrow, we see this sign pointing the way to the Carrier Dome.
|
As we leave the Syracuse campus, Correy gets
a good shot of the Carrier Dome. Man, I'm ready to suit up
myself. But we have to wait until 8:00 pm tomorrow night to see
the Heels beat Syracuse.
