Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Since we were all so excited to celebrate Mardi Gras... I'm offering a raincheck. Lets keep our fingers, toes, and beads crossed that the weather will not poopoo on our parade again.

This time the parade will march up Mead Road to The Imperial, where the party starts with live music, cajun food and booze.

 

 

WHAT TO DO
Park and meet at the East Lake MARTA station by the round column/tower (see pic below).

From MARTA, we'll walk towards Oakhurst and hangout for about 30 mins. We'll meetup with the krewe and follow them on their route to The Imperial. Along the way, they'll be throwing Mardi Gras favors. (This is a more family-friendly event than the last one I had planned, so flashing for beads is a definite no-no and will land you in the Decatur jail :)

DECISIONS, DECISIONS
Once we reach The Imperial, you may stay for the after-party or walk the 1/2 mile down the road to the MARTA Station. Unfortunately, I have plans for the rest of the afternoon, and must depart. Mark will be staying and can lead you party animals back.  :)

 

Lets dress festively for the event and wear something purple, gold and green (Mardi Gras colors). And beads of course!
