    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    Pete, Steve and Laura have some friends who run a Jeep club in the Tidewater area that do a lot of beach runs and/or gatherings (lunches, fishing trips, etc). A couple of them had planned to join us Labor Day, but ended up having a conflict and never made it. If you don't hear back from...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    I should thank olbucksnort for the tow down the hill and up the road from the top of Blakey Ridge back to the campsite when my XM708 decided that it didn't want to proceed... :) Of course, by returning early, I did manage to get in an exclusive halftrack ride (I missed out last year), so I...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    I had a great time! Thanks to every one who participated (from trail clearing, registration, trail guiding, kp, range management, to just enjoying the event...) for making it all come together and for sharing the weekend. Next year we'll do it all over again from August 28-September 1, 2014...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    We'll find a flag pole... :) I'm in the market for a NATO cable (now that I have a "newer" truck with the single pin slave plug on it...). Chuck "BMan" will be handling onsite registration at the HQ Tent in the middle of the camping field... Looking forward to seeing everyone this week. :)

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    We'd all like yo see it,, but firing it is a different matter... We have to be very mindful of all the horses that are in the next field over (we allow folks with horses to camp in the field between where we are and the road). They tend to spook easily, as do their riders... In fact, we also...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    OH, and don't forget that you can bring stuff to sell/trade... :) I had a couple folks ask me to bring some paint, and some M37 parts, and some water jugs, etc. So I will. If you need something, post it so somebody can bring it for you... If you have something you'd like to part with, bring it...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    Yes... However, you will need to check with me daily before you start shooting so that I can check with the Graves to make sure which area is open for shooting. They have other folks on site (horseback riders, hikers, etc) and we don't want to have anyone wandering onto the ranges...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    I thought that I would remind everyone that we don’t have cell phone coverage around the Lodge and the camping area. So bring your CB, military radio, or FRS radio if you have them (the most common communication device for the trails will be CB’s based on past experience…)...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    You might as well since I plan to have the rally every year on the same weekend... :) We have a large fire ring over by the river on the backside of one of the orchards that we could use as a gathering place for those who wanted to make some music and/or take a night ride/roast...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    Just thought that I would pop in and mention that the website has had a bunch of updates made (daily schedule, photos from last year, etc.). Still need to put the t-shirt design up for this year (I have it in hand, just need to scan it and send it to Amnon...). I'll be on-site this weekend...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    The website was updated this morning (with the exception of the t-shirt page...). Chuck should have the shirt design done this week...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    I just updated the flyer and the registration form for the event. We'll try to get them on the website next week, but you can see them in PDF form first here... :)

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    Glad to hear that you plan to join us! As has been mentioned elsewhere, we have trails ranging from orchard roads and state park roads (gravel/dirt) with a few potholes, to a ridge trail that threads over and around a rockfield...and everything in between. We also have a bunch of other stuff in...

    Va Rally at Graves Mountain (Labor Day Weekend) 2013

    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 August 29-September 2, 2013. The website...
