Fossil and Artifact Forum

So I'm making my plans for Memorial Day and the Aurora Fossil Festival and I can't find the Washington Holiday Inn Express on the Holiday Inn website. Did they close it down? I guess it will be the Days Inn again if the Holiday Inn is out of business....

I've always stayed at the Econo Lodge in Washington. It's great because a) it's only $46 per night and clean, b) it's right across the street from the Golden Corral, and 3) across from the Walmart. It's only a 30 minute drive from there to the museum.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've stayed at the Days Inn a few times, but lots of drama going on in the surrounding rooms so not much for getting a good nights sleep there....lol....Hope to see everyone at the Festival

Hemi - you make a very good point aboout New Bern. The only thing Washington has going for it are the lodging choices and Andy's Cheesesteaks. There's really nothing to do there otherwise. I've not been to any of the other quarries in the area, but with the continued closure of PCS I may have to try my hand at one of the others. I used to like going to Summerville before the restrictions, but the actions of a few messed it up for the rest of us. I know the surrounding area in SC doesn't have the restrictions, but I don't know the area and I'm not going to risk accidental trespassing in order to find new spots down there.....

Andy's is actually a local chain. New Bern has one (as does Maysville). But better than that, NB has Moore's BBQ!!! Simply the best around, imho. Should anyone stay in NB, I can (if memory serves) direct them to a few other localities that have Pleistocene shells and Native American artifacts.
