"Nick and Adam"

            "Nick and Adam" message on a sign in front of the burned out former Skyline Parkway Motel on Afton Mountain in Virginia.

I speculate that Nick and Adam may be the names of the people who set the Skyline Parkway Motel on fire, as two minors were ultimately charged with setting the fire.  I suppose that we will never know for sure, though, as juvenile court proceedings are typically not made public.
