Our next work/preview weekend will be August 18 and 19. We will meet in the camping field at 8:30 Saturday morning and will hit the trails shortly after.... PM me directly or post here if you can help...

A big thanks to Bulldogger for coming down and helping out on our most recent work weekend. Along with some of the folks from Rockridge Offroad, we managed to get a few more trails free of large trees (had a lot come down over the winter...) and we know a few more that a HMMWV can handle (if...

Bulldogger, The cabin is usually five to ten degrees cooler than the field at the Lodge... It is seriously shady, with the river beside it and a small stream from the spring outflow in the side yard (suitable for dog wading...). We can also fire up a fan if needed since we have electricity...

That would be great! I am really, really, wanting to get a HMMWV up on Doubletop Mountain behind the Lodge on the new trails that we have been cutting with the log skidder...and on some of the older ones to confirm that they are wide enough... :)

Our next preview opportunity is the trail cleanup/MV event/Fireworks/Band on the 4th of July. The current plan is for the Rockridge Offroad (the jeep club) folks to arrive the weekend before the 4th and to camp at my cabin at the end of the road. We will do trail rides/cleanup during the...

A few photos from this past weekend showing Steve cutting one of the trees that had fallen on The Devil's Backbone Trail, his Jeep in the mists on the top of the mountain, a pair of trees at the exit of Devil's Backbone that we cut, the view of the Lodge from one of the apple orchards, and a few...

It's great seeing ZiggyO and Scrounger carrying on the tradition of feeding folks on Friday (and Thursday...). ;)

Great! I had not realized that... That makes asking for the time off much easier :)

I haven't been since Gimpyrobb showed off the underside of his truck... However...with enough advance warning on the date, and the high probability that I will skip Aberdeen next year... I may be able to return next year for the 15th Anniversary Edition... It's a LONG drive from Raleigh, but...

Giving this a bump...

Just a reminder that if you want a preview of the trails and the event site, we will be on-site this weekend doing some trail maintenance/riding... PM or post if you think that you might want to stop by so we can arrange to meet up (otherwise, you will find it very difficult to find us on the...

I didn't make it this year (second time in a row, and the only two that I have missed since I started going when the event was held on base...). I would have gone this year if I had been able to reschedule a work related trip. The above said: I haven't made money selling stuff at Aberdeen in...

Although I will admit that I had a great time at a work related conference in Coeur d'Alene, ID...I really missed being at Denton with my MKT85... Assuming that the schedule works out for me next year, you only will have to assist with one meal (the boil...). :)

Amnon has updated the website. We will update the t-shirt page when B-Man (Chuck) gets the design finalized... http://www.gravesmountaintrailrides.com/

I just sent the updated dates and registration form to Amnon to post up on the event website, so with luck, he'll get to it this week... I also sent him the link to my flickr page that has a lot of photos that I have gathered from various sources from the event for 2010, 2015-2017...

We've had a bit of wind in the area over the winter and spring, so the recent focus has been on repairing buildings on the Farm and Lodge, but we are starting to think about trail maintenance... We will be having a couple of work weekends in May: May 19th & 20th and May 26th - 28th The current...

Time to start the thread for this year's event. 10th Annual Graves Mountain Military Vehicle and Vintage 4x4 Trail Rides! Labor Day Weekend August 30-September 3, 2018 I need to update the registration form, get Amnon to update the website and B-Man (Chuck) to finalize the t-shirts...

Carman's post reminds me that it is time to start the thread for this year, get the website updated, t-shirts designed (B-Man), etc... Here we go, a thread for this year... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?178359-Graves-Mountain-Rally-August-30-September-3-2018&p=2128092#post2128092

Last year a few of us in the Raleigh/Cary area of North Carolina provided some of our MVs for a static display at the Step on Sepsis Run/Walk at Wake Med Soccer Park in Cary. It was a fun event and included not only the runners, DJ, but also the newest of UNC's medevac helicopters... They have...

I was afraid of this... That's the week that I will be in Idaho... In twenty years, this will be only the third time that I have missed the NC Rally (and the second in a row...). So, once again, my MKT will not be on-site...
