No one needs to pay anything before we check out. They just use a card to "reserve" the place. Payment is due at checkout so everyone bring enough cash to cover your room. He doesn't want to take 20 credit card payments on it, so cash money
Tigger, my thinking on Sun night is most people are headed directions other than south to go home. Going to the Gap is 2 hours north, then 2 hours back south to stay at TWO again so there's 4 hours of riding on Mon just to ride the Gap. Then most of y'all will head back north, west, east to head home.
Tommy, if your group has an extra day or 2, y'all could jump on the Blue Ridge Parkway to head back toward home from there. While the speed is "slower" and strictly enforced, it's a beautiful ride. Something to think about.
