I had the forms at Denton at the MKT... I also uploaded it to a post on this year's event thread...and sent it to Amnon to use in updating the official event website. Thanks!

Since you asked about this year's VA Rally (aka, the Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally) that I host... This year's thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthr...ember-1-5-2016 Website (soon to be updated): http://www.gravesmountaintrailrides.com/ I also have a Facebook Event...

I got hit at work with a bunch of junk to take care of right after the event, so I'm a tad late saying this... A big THANK YOU to everyone that came, helped out at the rally, or who helped out before the event. Without you, we wouldn't have a rally... I had a great time and enjoyed visiting...

I have not been informed of any revisions to your rules or briefing notes. I believe that we are good to go.

The truck is loaded and I am headed up in the morning. Looking forward to seeing those who can make it, and will miss those who can't. We'll take photos. :)

I've been asked... For folks who have not sent in payment yet... I do have a PayPal account, but you can also see Chuck (aka BMan) at the Registration Tent in the middle of the camping field when you arrive and pay by cash or check. He's going to want to see you anyway so that he can get you...

With one exception, Devil's Backbone, all the trails can be traversed with a 5/4 ton or smaller pickup/Jeep/Unimog... Although a couple of trails are steep in some places, they are all moderate or beginner skill level (and we have a great group of trail guides to help folks). We also have a...

It's a very family friendly event... We have a very high percentage of attendees who bring their wives or girlfriends...lots of kids. There are a lot of things for folks to do on the property, and nearby: hiking, horseback riding (extra charge for horseback riding), basketball, tennis, Jr...

I was up at the Lodge this past weekend with some of the good folks from Rock Ridge Offroad (the local Jeep club that does all the trail clearing and maintenance for us...) as they did a bunch of mowing and other prep work for the event. The field will have to be mowed again, but it should be...

The current plan is to use a range that is on the farm property, but down the road a bit from the actual rally site. I've got to get some info to SCSG-G4 this weekend so that he can assure himself that it is up to his standards... (he's agreed to be my range officer-THANKS MIKE!) Assuming that...

Just a quick reminder that we don't have cell phone coverage around the Lodge or the camping area... So bring your CB, military radio, or FRS radio... Most common trail communications device is a CB, but we use them all... Frequencies/Channels used will be posted at the registration tent.

Mike, when you arrive, make sure that we take you over to the "Goodall Place" so that you can check out the firing range... Before we use it, we need to make sure it is up to your standards. ;)

I received a box of goodies yesterday from Rick Sultan at http://www.dodgepowerwagongear.com/ for use as prizes. He's donated some really nice stuff this year. :)

Forgot to mention... We will have a non-pork option on the menu for Saturday night. Most likely chicken since that seemed to work well last year along with the Eastern NC Style BBQ and the vegies...

The good news is that the hog cooker is in great shape (the equipment...). I'm still trying to figure out what I am going to be driving on the trails...so that I can get whatever it is trail ready... Good news, as always, is that we will have access to the heavy truck shop at the farm in case...

A few shots from the July 4th trail maintenance weekend... A couple showing trail conditions after they had been cleared, the new picnic table at the Devil's Backbone Trail Overlook, the view from the picnic table (too much haze to see much), the view from a spot lower down on the mountain...

Wonderful! Bring all your friends (including the one that has a hard time reading a calendar...) :)

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are having the Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally again this year. As always, it will be over the Labor Day weekend… September 3-7, 2015. Older civilian vehicles are welcome as well as anything Military. The website is...
