    360 miles. Should be a walk in the park for me to ride there.
    Kinda steep for the room, but I think I can convince one of my local XSives to come with me and split the cost of a room.

        Forgot to mention, if you are looking at an old map, the Baymont used to be the Comfort Inn, just off Rt 19

            You guys are tight! I know a place nearby, where you can pitch a tent and there's a decent bath house to go with it. It's been a few years, but I'm sure it's cheaper than a room and only 5 miles away.

                ok I maybe cheap in many ways but a roof over my head is still preferred to sleeping on the ground in the springtime in WVA...

                    It's five miles away. I have pitched my tent here on three occasions (with motorcycle), but the last time was several years ago.

                          Short drive for me; maybe five miles and, to beat all, MartyA has smoking rooms available for a change! 'Just my luck lol!
                          Mtn. Lake Campground used to have furnished campers for rent too. They are currently closed for the season; don't know if one would get an answer, but their number is 304-872-6222.
                          If I can be of any help, shoot me a PM!

                            Greg, may we just camp at your house? I think there's plenty of room.

                              Not to throw a kink in things, but just looked on Priceline, and for the same room at the same place for the same dates is $220.86 inc taxes, and it's cancellable up to the 23rd.

                              Might talk to that sweet lady on the phone and see if she'll match that? $32 is $32.
