Ken, I'll be sure to look you up and finally meet face to face. As for the nearest major airport, that would be Raleigh-Durham. About 45-60 minutes from Deep River, depending on traffic. As for places to stay, I think it's a wash between Sanford and the southwest part of Raleigh (Cary). Plenty of motels there. Both are about the same timewise from the shooting site (about 15-20 minutes). Deep River is out in the middle of nowhere. You'll think you're lost getting there, but just follow the directions.
