Time to start the thread for this year's event.
11th Annual Graves Mountain Military Vehicle and Vintage 4x4 Trail Rides and Rally!
Labor Day Weekend
August 29-September 2, 2019
I need to update the dates on the website and upload the registration form, add the letter that I sent out to the...
I've never named a vehicle... My friends have been known to name them for me, then I have to think hard when they talk to me in order to figure out what vehicle they are talking about...
My vehicles are:
The Cummins M37
The XM708 (sometimes known as "the little dump")
The M817 (sometimes known...
I suspect that I need to go ahead and start a thread for this year and to update the website... :)
The dates for the event this year are: August 29-September 2, 2019
We will have a couple of extended work weekends that will be announced on the event thread and website. They will not only...
The first year that we held the event at the Farmpark, I was charged close to $200, and they had me put the MKT up on the access road between the event field and the camping area (the vendor area).
The next year, and every time that I have been back, they have charged me $90 and I have set up...
Really glad that I was able to attend the event again this year after a two year absence due to work conflicts... A big thanks to those that helped with the MKT (especially Mike Crowe) and to my friends at Rockridge Offroad who stopped by to check on me (they help me run the Graves Mountain...
I posted 206 photos to my Facebook account and 204 to my Flickr page (not sure what two did not load...).
I had a great time...

I am finalizing plans for next week, getting things ready...
Your absolute last day to sign up for guaranteed food at the MKT is Monday... I'll be doing my shopping on Tuesday...
I usually have some extra at each meal, but if you don't sign up, don't cry if I turn you away...
Looking forward...
Can I interest you in a TR100? Same size as a M1061, but with full air brakes and a height adjustable lunette ring (for 2.5 or 5 ton trucks). Was purpose built to haul a reverse osmosis water treatment unit including a MEP-005A... I can't bring it to the rally since I will be towing my...
I have an axle from a M101A1 complete from hub to hub including rims and tires (NDT or NDCC...) I also have the front A-frame including lunette and landing leg. I do not have the box or the frame section that went under the box.
Likely not going to bring it to Denton (too much going on...

Who is planning on arriving early?
My current schedule has me arriving after lunch on Wednesday (aka: mid-afternoon) and it would be nice if someone could stake out my MKT spot (that I used in the past since it was convenient for everyone) and to have some help setting up the MKT.
I find cooking for a group to be a nice, relaxing, break from my day job...
My current plan is to arrive on Wednesday (I assume that I can access the site that afternoon as in years past) with the MKT and to have a meal offering for each meal through Sunday breakfast.
Of course, if you aren't...
You know, I have never measured the gap between the feet of my medium towbars and the shackle points on my M37s (or those owned by others...)...
I also have never used a shim when flat towing any of them...cross town, from NC to Indiana (Haspin), MD (Aberdeen), from Atlanta to Raleigh...etc.
Of...
I have blocked out the week on my calendar at work...
I have some menu ideas...
I'll suspect that I will start a different thread for food at the MKT at a later date...
Looking forward to being back after a two year hiatus...
