I wish you guys/gals ideal weather... no rain, no humidity, and no more miserable August heat... and do have a wonderful time! :beer:
I will not be coming up this year. I had a heart attack in March. However, I am doing very well, and I am about 40 lbs lighter and in better physical shape...
If all goes well, my wife and I will make it up there this year. We are well aware that our plans have a way of going south in a hurry, but hopefully this year we can break that spell. Looking forward to seeing y'all again! ... and Rick, I just know that made your day!!! :lol:
Sorry to hear about your dad, Rick. :sad: I know ya missed me, and I will do my best to make it up to one of these again before the fat lady sings. :grin:
To all... happy to hear the weather went well for you, and that y'all had a great time! I would have enjoyed being there with you, but my...
My wife and I have high hopes of coming up to spend a weekend with you folks again, but it definitely won't be this year. It's a long story, but we sold our popup camper early in May with the hopes of finding something that suit us better. Thus far, we are still without one. We finally...
It appears I missed my last chance at visiting with my friends up in VA.

Looks like y'all had a great time, and hopefully good weather! Many thanks to all who posted pics! We will transfer this year's reminder to next year's calendar... maybe someday we will actually make it up that way again. Until then... :beer:
Sorry for the late notice, but we won't be making it up that way this year. We simply have some things going on in our live that are taking precedence. For the record, we are NOT having any health issues this year... Thank God for that! Hope y'all have a wonderful time. Best wishes!!!!! :grd:
Past experience has taught me that things go better when I don't make plans or put things on the calendar. Having said that, I sure would like to come up and spend another weekend with y'all! We will just wait patiently this time and see what happens. :whistle:
Ooooops! :oops: Looks like I got my calendar all screwed up! On the bright side, I would not have gone camping this past weekend anyway. Try again next year! :)
Quoting my own post.....
Regrettably, I will NOT be attending the upcoming rally. The past nine straight days of rainy weather has put me so far behind that even attempting to add a camping trip to the list of things I need to do would be just plain dumb. I hope you folks have better luck with...
I am a bit gun-shy when it comes to advance planning, but here goes..... I plan on coming this year, and my son is coming with me. My wife says she is going to stay home and enjoy some peace & quiet. This causes me some concern as I always thought I was the one who needed peace & quiet. Anyway...
I gave up on making plans as they never seem to work out anyway, but if the good Lord's willing, I just might show up this year.....
...and Cabell just might have to feed me again. :wink:
Appreciate the reply Rick. I sure remember the heat and humidity from the last trip I made up there. Sorry to hear your other half wasn't feeling well. I appreciate the compliments on the camping, but I have got soft & lazy in that department too. The pic tells the story. :grin:
Just out of curiosity, how was the weather over the weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun). The forecast of heat, humidity and rain was my main reason for skipping this year. Saturday evening made me glad I did skip as I came down with some sort of a stomach bug which would have definitely put a damper on a...
Really was planning to show up this year, but have since decided to hang out closer to home. Every weather-related site I've seen shows heat, humidity and pretty good rain chances over the Labor day weekend. I guess the first Graves Rally spoiled me... I fondly remember cool comfortable temps...
Just out of curiosity... does anyone have any idea as to how many women may might attend this event. My other half thinks very highly you "fellows" that she has met, but has also mentioned that it would be nice to hear a few female voices among the crowd.
I appreciate that... and may take you up on the offer. I remember two years ago the weather was just plain oppressive (heat & humidity). I guess it's mainly 'cause we are getting old, but weather forecasts have a big influence on our outdoor plans these days. We will just wait and see what...
From the registration form I see the deadline is August 20th. The way things have gone for us this year I am reluctant to plan anything, but as of the present we are hoping to come up and join you folks for a weekend of camping. I guess for the time being we will just wait and watch until a...
Our weekend plans just came to a screeching halt. The wife got a call today that her uncle passed away so it looks like we will be heading for PA on Friday morning. Y'all have a good weekend. Hopefully, we will make it to Graves in the fall.
From all indications, it appears the weather is going to cooperate nicely for the upcoming weekend. My wife and I will be heading for the VA mountains on Thursday. Hope y'all have a great rally, and a good turnout for it. I just wish I could figure out how to be in two places at the same...
