Hey Rebel, What does rooms rent for up there at the Lodge, now. Usually reasonable as they have no television or telephones.

True... with AARP card; @ $ 86.00 a nite. Going up @ 11am; check-in @ 3 pm. "Hike" up to JOHNSON FARM; then up Harkening. 2 or 3 Balance Rocks to look at; MAY see Purgatory
Mountain from there... DUNNO.

Place crowded with Vet Day partiers & HOO HAHS... FULL! Franklin, get yer CD-Books and put 'em in Bedford City/County Museum, and Visitors Centers at Bedford City, & Lynchburg... maybe even at Smith Mountain Lake; seen interest at ALL of 'em. Good Luck!

I did not know they were closing for good. I thought someone else was buying the shop and Lodge?

YEP! For good... they are trying to get a PRIVATE "contract" to keep Lodge going; stuff in Bookstore is/are 50% off; NOT sure about YOUR CD Book (11 copies); NOTHING is being "re-stocked"... doesn't look good. If no private contract appears... Lodge is CLOSED, Nov. 30, 2012. Call 'em.

Too Bad. Really going to miss it. I get the money I will open it back up all year round. By the way Rebel, they already paid me for the CD Books so I haven't lost anything. Thanks for the information though.

OK,10-4.
