This weekend I was in North Carolina watching my nephew play lacrosse at Mars Hill College . It was Senior Day, which Adam is so we went down to watch him play.
It was a beautiful drive down through West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee before we arrived in Mars Hill North Carolina. Prior to my injury I worked in many of these locations and it was nice to revisit the area.
The mountain ranges provide spectacular views, the highways are smooth and pothole free making for a great road trip. I imagine it is breathtaking in the fall and possibly very dangerous in the winter.
Mars Hill is a very small town, that was accessible and nice to roll around. I did some shopping at the college bookstore ( I had to buy a lacrosse shirt ) and ate at the local delicatessen.
When it came time for the game on Saturday afternoon, it was a bit challenging finding the accessible entrance. By chance I ran into one of the athletic trainers who found the key to the gate and allowed me into the stadium.
After a few lightning delays, the game was finally on. Mars Hill defeated Queens 8 to 7. Adams team scored the winning goal with only 38 seconds remaining. Adam plays defense, and it was great to watch him play live.
