Here's directions to the fields to which I've been to before, along with a link is for broadband/ISDN users that gives you an aerial view. Dial-up users are sent to maps.yahoo.com. JI Burton is playing at Carl Smith Stadium, beside of UVA-Wise. From Big Stone Gap, take US 23 to the Wise exit (at the top of the hill) & turn right. Go a little over a mile and hang a right at the light. Go through town about 1/2 mile - you'll make a sharp left before coming to a traffic light in a curve - turn right at the light. Stadium is about 1/4 mile up on the left. View / map Giles' field is on US 460 Business on the upper end of Pearisburg. Stay on 460 (Bypass) around town to the Ripplemead exit (at the top of a hill) and turn right. Spartan Stadium is about 3/4 mile ahead on the right, behind the school (approx. 2 hours from Lebanon). View / map Hidden Valley plays at Dwight Bogle Stadium @ Cave Spring Middle School, on US 221. Take I-81 to Exit 141 (Rt. 419) at Salem. Go up the ramp & turn left. Go about 8 miles and turn right onto US 221. Go about a mile - school is on the left. OR Take I-581 South thru Roanoke about 10 miles to the Rt. 419/220 exit. Turn right on 419 (you'll pass Tanglewood Mall). Go about 2 miles and turn left onto Rt. 221 / Brambleton Ave. Go about a mile - school is on left. View / map Bassett plays at Ed Bassett Stadium. The "85 Riverside Drive" address doesn't return the right location when plugged into Yahoo. View
