So, I just got my letter from Anja at the Washington Area Collectors/Blue and Gray Military Vehicle Trust with the vendor information and renewal form for my spaces at this year's event. According to the letter, the 44th Annual East Coast Rally will be held on May 11-13, 2017 at Ripken...

We did mention at the Sunday's bonfire that you had missed the event for this reason and raised a toast to your Dad... We are looking forward to seeing you this year, no matter what MV you bring or don't bring...

So, the list of things that folks have mentioned that I should tweak for this year (copied over from a post in last year's thread so that I will remember them): 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...

The thread for the 2017 event is now up and running... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163389-Graves-Mountain-Rally-Syria-VA-August-31-September-4-2017

I was really looking forward to this as a long weekend away from the office is a great thing... I had the weekend of the 22nd blocked out (and still have nothing on the schedule for the weekends of April 29 and May 6), but the cuts in our staff will keep me from getting off work from April 7...

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.
