I always stay at the Hampton Inn at Mineral Wells at the route 14 exit off I77, which is on the way to Elizabeth. With AAA discount a room is $52.00 and they have a very nice free breakfast. Mayberry is a lovely, peaceful cemetery and my family (Woolard, Lockhart and a few Lynch's) are buried there. Another lovely area I visited last fall was Courtney Ridge. Have a wonderful trip. I'm traveling there Memorial Day Weekend. - Bonita Woolard-Lock, Ravenna, Ohio -----Original Message----- From: Ed Lloyd & Family [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2000 4:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WVWIRT] Trip to Elizabeth My husband has Friday off and wants to take a ride to Elizabeth to see all the places he visited as a child. He no longer has family there so we will need to stay in a motel. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive motel in the Parkersburg area (probably Thurs and Fri nights)? We will be going up to see Buffalo church and Mayberry. It has been about 14 years or so since we were last there. ...oh, and Ed wants to know if there are any restaurant recommendations? Thanks, Joanne
