Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, Palomino, all in Sanford, North Carolina. Closest booming Democrat run metropolis is Raleigh-Durham. I assume you can land your plane there. Bill Murphy

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.

Mr. Craig, I'm staying at the Palomino Motel where many of the LC boys will be. Rooms are $53.90 per night IF you tell them you are with the Deep River Sporting clays event. Ask for June or Judy for reservations. You might also give me a call --- I've tried to call you but you are always in court. Ken

Jakearoo, go to http://www.deepriver.net and scroll to the Southern SXS Championship. They list the events and have a listing of many motels within a 30 minute drive from the event. This is the 3th year that I'll be attending with our Charlotte Chapter of the Vintagers. I think that you'll also enjoy the friendly 5 Stand competition between the Parker and L.C.Smith folks. I hope to see you there. I'm one of the folks also interested in the Lefever project.

There's something screwy at the Deep River web site. The page with info on the SxS shoot is empty. Anyone else having this problem?
I might fire up the Bonanza and run over there for a day.

The Palomino is pet friendly according to those who have stayed there.
