This Afton area motel was set on fire by a couple of firefighters no less.

I'm assuming that this is Afton Virginia and that is the motel/HoJo/Gas station near the end of Shenandoah (Skyline Drive, hence the name on the motel) and the beginning of the Blue Ridge parkway?

If so, I know the gas station part was still open in April, 2002 - I thought the restaurant was also, but maybe not.
