I have flown there a number of times..... great site, great people, great soaring (thermal & ridge), things for the "others to do" on flying days or rain days.
Ask for a power flight of surrounding areas, it's great for a glider pilot (to see landmarks, approaching the airport) as well as, "Why do they call it the Blue Ridge Mountains?".

If you don't like camping, ask about the "hunting lodge", it may make it better for your crew.

Charlie, usually "UH", sometimes "OH", either way, the site is pretty interesting "in a great way".
