We had a work weekend for Father's Day and ran all the trails on the Graves' property. Had to cut a few trees that had fallen, but everything looked good in general. We'll go back for another work weekend on July 4-6 to run the trails that are on the neighbor's property and to spray some...

I just noticed this... I was out of town for the weekend. There is a gathering of MVs' over in Timberlake (not far from Raleigh) every year that a bunch of the guys go to. The organizers provide prime parking and free food/drinks to those who show up with a MV for display (the organizer is a...

With all the talk about upcomming events and the need for some folks to get things nailed down at work (or with the Significant Other), I thought that I would let everyone know that the VA Rally (aka Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally) will be held on Aug 29-Sept 1, 2014 (aka, Labor Day...

I spoke to a couple of other vendors who mentioned that they go to a couple of shows (not just MV but car, gun/knife as well) in the month before this one...and that sales at the other shows are so good that they run low on stock. Then, they have trouble replacing stock and don't have much, if...

I had a great time! Didn't sell nearly as much stuff as in past years (I didn't bring as much stuff, but I also noticed a big drop in the number of folks from "outside" the hobby who usually walk by my setup and purchase itmes that aren't vehicle specific-such as ammo cans, fuel/water cans...

That's the thousand dollar question.... :) Some say that you have to get there on Wednesday (dealer setup) or early Thursday to get the bargains as the vendors set up and unpack stuff. Some say that you get the best deals on Saturday when almost everyone packs up to go home (the place is about...

Good to hear that the MD gang will be nearby again. I've been going over my lists of things to do before I head out and, thankfully, the list is getting shorter and shorter. Better news is that BMann will be with me again this year (it's been touch and go for him the last couple of months) so...

There is a display area where all you have to do is show up and park (you might also want to inform the folks at the registration desk/tent). If you sell stuff you need to get a vendor space (or borrow some space from somebody like myself who has room).

I'll post some photos when I get the taxes done... :) I had a great time and truly appreciate that help with the MKT. Nothing beats having some folks volunteer for KP duty and to help pack the unit up when all is done. I've found that it takes about five years for an event to show a profit, or...

Just leaving the office (hard to leave on time when the boss' boss' boss is the one asking you questions...). Still have to go home and get the MKT and head toward Denton... Supper will be really late... :(

Yep, he did... I can. :)

I think that the MKT location last year worked well. If any of you get there before I do (verly likely) and want to stake out that area I would appreciate it. My Thursday ETA is 1900. Supper will be shortly after I arrive. I have a meeting to attend at work before I can hit the road. Thanks.

Miller products: My buddy who works at the plant is loading my truck in the morning. I can't take any more orders since he has already made his run. I have items for Microjeep, Willfreeman, MichiganDon, and myself.

Food update: I have the following down for food: CBRMetalworks: Two Adults for Friday Supper through Sunday Lunch MichiganDon: Two Adults for Thursday Supper through Sunday Lunch (with a special order for Thursday night entree... :) ) Willfreeman: Two Adults for Thursday Supper thought Sunday...

I just noticed this thread... We are having the Convoy again this year. The web page has been updated...but other than the date change everything is bassically the same as in year's past... The T-shirt design has been finalized (featuring "Connie" again...) and will be added to the website...

I have my spaces again this year and will be cooking Eastern Style NC BBQ for the folks in the ECC and for my buddies on Friday night... No pretty ladies at my location unless Tew comes to dinner with his entourage... :) I'll have a few parts to sell. The coffee and cold water with heaps of...

The beer order has been placed... :) I'll make the run to the commissary next week before I head down the road to Denton, so you still have time to get your name on the list for the FOOD plan...

Howdy! I'm currently living in Raleigh, NC, but was born and raised in Va and go back often. We have a rally/trailrides on Labor Day Weekend at my folk's farm...consider yourself invited. Website for last year's event is still up and will be updated to reflect this year's information soon, but...

Hmmm, Plastic five gallon water cans ($20/each) Canbro tea/coffee dispensers (great for keeping 12oz cans on ice as well...) $30/each Gillespie paint (PM me for colors/prices...not going to bring any unless requested). Five ton dump truck troop seat/top kit (NOS, removed from shipping crate...

Howdy from Raleigh. The Denton Rally has been mentioned... Drop by if you can... I'll have my XM813 with the MKT in tow.
