I'm staying at the Carolina Country Inn. About $60 per night. The Celo Inn was full but, the owner recommended this one. Said it was close to the start and, was clean, comfy and well run. I noticed that all motels and B&B's in that area seem to be bargain priced - especially the Celo Inn. May have to make some more trips up that way. Wish there was time to pre-ride the metric but, I have no free weekends for the next month.
