Since you mention both the rally and the date... I thought that I would go ahead and create the thread for the event (and get started on the website updates, etc). Official dates are August 31-September 4, 2017. See...

9th Annual Graves Mountain Military Vehicle and Vintage 4x4 Trail Rides! Labor Day Weekend August 31-September 4, 2017 At the historic Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, Virginia. It's time for me to start the thread for the annual gathering so that everyone can start planning and get time off...

The current dates conflict with a required work trip... I can't make it on the 12-16th...

Welcome from Raleigh, NC (and from the alternate home in Syria, VA...). As mentioned, the Denton Rally in the Spring is a lot of fun as is the Graves Mountain Rally in the Fall (Labor Day Weekend) and both are easy driving from your location.

Go back in this thread to my earlier post. Follow the link to the page on my website that has the dimensions for the bed wood on a M37 and M101.... You will find that I included the dimensions of the bows....

Yep, you have to be on FB to see them... Now up to 431 photos... I'll get them moved over to the event website at some point...

I have been collecting photos in addition to the ones that I took during the event. I posted them to my facebook page this afternoon.... I have 378 photo posted so far... (so don't look for me to post them here...). They are located at...

So, the list of things that folks have mentioned that I should tweak for next year: White board at the HQ tent for updates to the trail ride schedule and to remind folks of Mike's availability for range duty, etc. A notice that if Mike is sitting around the campsite, all one must do to go to...

I chatted with Mike and Amber about this as they loaded up for the trip home... I hadn't realized that folks had an issue with the noise during the event since no-one mentioned it to me... It's a learning process. We had a record number of folks this year and I hope that everyone returns next...

Please remind me about them next year... I have the ability to shut them off, but the switch for the lights in our field also control the rest of the line including those in the horse camping field... Since we have the port a johns and trash cans located under the lights... I may not be...

I would like to thank everyone that came to the event. It was our biggest one yet! A big thanks go out to Adam (Ferro) for picking up the shirts, Mike (SCSG-G4) for running the firing range, Chuck (BMan) for minding the HQ Tent, Sonny for trail clearing and for KP duty on Saturday. Rad for...

I noticed that Todd, aka King, has posted some photos on a thread at http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?158185-Graves-Mountain&p=1916104

GREAT photos!! Wonder if we can get these photos moved to the event thread so that more folks can see them?

Two amazing products from the 1950's...and Adam gets to play with both... :) Glad that you had a good time and I really appreciate your picking up the shirts for us on your way to the rally. I know that you had one busy weekend... ;)

Hate to hear that... Let us know if there is anything that we can do.

21 miles...

We've been doing selective logging around the property for the past five years or so... Lots and lots of nice seasoned oak, maple, and poplar, etc... up on the hillsides just waiting to be hauled down to the campsite... (logger took out the trunks, left the crowns...) I know that more than one...

GO! We'll have the chance to meet, eat, and socialize next year (we do this at the same time/location each year)... We'll be sending positive vibes your way...

I don't think that it is normally open over Labor Day as the water is still a tad too hot for the trout to be active... However, we can either get it opened for her, or we can put her on the Rose River (she's still too young to require a license, isn't she?), or we can put her on any number of...

As a reminder: DO NOT drive through the field with the folks who are camping with horses. There are folks who have horses that do not do well with the whine of turbos, diesel smoke, etc (heck, some of them get skittish walking past the hog pen over by the barnyard). We will, as always...
