Saints Fans Gameday March down I-10

Houston to New Orleans and Back.
"Back" is always the tough part.

My wife & I drive about every other weekend in the Fall--for Saints Football Season! I drive just like Burt Reynolds, maybe cooler, and it still takes 6 hours.

We'll sleep in New Orleans one weekend, or stay on a bayou another. We just dig trying out different places in Louisiana, even doing touristy stuff, in Cajun Country, or in New Orleans itself. I think we've stayed in every hotel in the CBD.

Living in the rat race in Houston, sometimes we enjoy being in the middle of nowhere, or at least Breaux Bridge. Other game weekends, you just have to go to the French Quarter. Every La. weekend is different, and I love em all.

So we Saints fans, I believe, do more driving than any other fan base, except maybe Green Bay. The I-10 Houston to New Orleans Caravan has
to be the biggest in football. Even before the Storm, partly due to the Oil Biz, a lot of people split time between TX & LA. And I know Houston has as many WhoDats as it does Texans fans.

You cant miss us. I always paint a big shoe-white FLEUR DE LIS on
my back window, and of course all the Saints stickers. Another phenomenon
of Saints fandom is getting "WhoDat'ed, when you drive down the road, right? "honk honk honk honk!" (big wave, thumbs up, or #1 gesture)

So, just wondering, who else is making the I-10 Saints March this weekend?
