Ive reserved 3 rooms at the Econo Lodge in Wytheville for us on the way to the Gap. Reservation is in my name. Its a decent motel, cheap, right off 81 across the street from where we stayed last year (right down from the Applebee's). Rooms are reserved - not paid for - so if someone else gets there first just grab the rooms you need (leave one for me please ). I reserved non-smoking rooms with two beds.

I think that's the motel Ian and I stayed at when we met the R1100GS rider, Stephan I think his name was.

Aw, man...  Now I'm starting to really wish I were going on this trip. Not that I'm so crazy about Econo Lodges and Applebees.  You know what I mean.

I wish you could make it out as well. It's been way too long, my friend. Your presence is sorely missed.

Thanks Rob! Looking forward to it. Unpacking and repacking the bike today.
