This past summer I visited Colorado Springs, Colorado to do an internship. Being the only one from Auburn, and Alabama at that, I didn’t really meet anyone from home the whole week. Part of the internship program was to hike/climb Pike’s Peak, a 14,000-foot mountain. On the next to last day, when we climbed the mountain and finally reached the top, we visited the souvenir shop/restaurant, and I just happened to run into a father and his two sons. They were just like most people who were visiting the site except all three had Auburn shirts on and so did I. With the classic “War Eagle” as our greeting to one another, we began talking about last year’s undefeated season and other things. Who would have ever thought that you could be right at home even a when you are 1,500 miles from what you truly call home? WAR EAGLE!
