I just wanted to thank everyone that made it to the rally. I'd also like to thank those who's efforts made it a great weekend, especially: Steve, Laura, and the gang from Rockridge Offroad "Al Harvey" and Mike "SCSG-G4" Chuck "BMan" and Sonny Rad and Euan The Graves family and the staff at...

Just a pair of reminders for those of you who are headed to the event this week: We still do not have cell phone coverage. We do have wifi at the Lodge... If someone needs to contact you, they can call the Lodge and they will relay the message down to us in the camping field and/or let you...

The deadline for early registration has passed, but you can still show up at the event and have a great time... Just stop by the HQ/Registration tent upon arrival and Bman will take care of you...

Howdy from Raleigh!

A big thanks to Al Harvey and SCSG-G4 who have both agreed to run the range this year (that way, they both have time to socialize and trail ride, etc)…. :)

A Big shoutout to Steve and Irvin (from RockRidge Offroad Jeep Club) for running up to Graves this past weekend and taking care of some items on the list of things to get ready... Considering what needs to be done to get ready, and folks' schedules, we WILL NOT be having a work weekend at Graves...

So, I got the proofs for the shirts back today (took at few tries to get them right, remind me never to order two different designs on the same day...). Hopefully, you can see what they look like... Chuck will have the Event shirt for sale at the HQ/Registration tent - we'll know the prices as...

I just received the proofs for the shirts (both designs...) and they look great. I did have a tweak that needed to be made to each one, so I'll hold off on posting them until the next proof... Prices should be about the same as last year for the Event shirt (I will know for sure one the design...

Just a reminder: Our next trail maintenance weekend is scheduled for August 16-18, 2019. Attend and help out for the entire weekend and you’ll get a special event t-shirt and half priced admission to the event. We made great progress on our last work weekend, but we have a few trails...

Since Bulldogger has mentioned bringing his radio... We will be utilizing CB radios on the trails as the primary method of keeping the groups together, but that we also will be using FRS radios for communications between the groups/HQ/Range... Bulldogger and hrbergeron have indicated that...

The Fourth of July weekend was our first trail cleanup of the year. We had a really good effort by those who managed to attend and got a lot of the trails cleared of major obstacles although they all could use a bit more trimming (especially of the raspberry and blackberry vines encroaching...

Work detail update : Meet at 7AM on the 5th. Meet by the trout pond (if you don't know where it is, just hang out by the Pepsi wagon in the camping field and we'll swing by and collect you.

If you are coming up this weekend for the fireworks, we will be at the picnic shelter a after 7PM (may be earlier). If you have trouble spotting us, look for the collection of jeeps/4x4 parked on the opposite side of the river from the shelter (next to the horseshoe pits... We'll head up to...

Different state... :) You know, we have had a lot of recognizable folks stop by, but I don't think that Eastwood has ever made the pilgrimage... However, Bob Duvall frequently stops in (especially on Sundays when Kevin is the one frying chicken...) and Herbert Hoover's cabin still stands...

A new attraction that is just a short road ride away from the Lodge... https://www.cbs19news.com/content/news/New-brewery-and-winery-set-to-open-in-Madison-509828551.html?fbclid=IwAR3NaWT5tR3-Oa-0znKvQOndfvIf1QhWy_PSw-dYrVEWkJeHyv-m3nG0eYM

I think that I managed to make all the important website updates over the last couple of days... Amnon is no longer hosting the site here in Raleigh, my brother is now hosting it on his server in Colorado (along with my M37 website). Over time, it means that the site can grow a bit since I...

The good folks at Graves Mountain Lodge (the location of the Labor Day weekend trailrides/rally) put on a really good 4th of July celebration (band, food, fireworks, activities for the kids/family)…. I also have scheduled a work weekend at Graves Mountain (trail ride/cleanup of the trails) from...

I'm not sure what the site's definition of NoVA is... (I always thought that it was the area that was occupied by the Union Army that now seems to be filled with bedroom communities serving Washington...) However, for everyone's consideration just south of NovA (or, perhaps in NoVA these...
