More pics....

Some more pics, forwarded to me. They were taken from the bed of Cabell's truck up front on the convoy on Saturday's ride around the countryside....

Got back yesterday around 5 or so, had a great time with some great people. I even had time Saturday morning to wrench off the old bent and broken bumper on my deuce and bolt on the new one I got from Bernie in DE. I didn't take any pictures, I was too busy wheeling and having fun in the...

I should be out of here within a couple hours, arriving at the site by noon. I have been using the rear end of my truck as a shed recently, so it has a lot of stuff still packed away in it from Aberdeen and Haspin. I am not feeling up to the task of unloading all the stuff that I was trying to...

Sorry to hear that, Jeff. We'll miss you there. Plan on heading out of the house early a.m. on Friday morning, will get there late morning. Plan on bringing plenty of adult beverages and smokes. Also, if I am supposed to bring anything for anybody (parts, etc.), please PM me to remind me, my...

Okay, it's official. I'm going! My back is almost back to normal, so I'm rarin' to go, get some trail time and camp time in. Looks like some awesome weather planned for this weekend as well. Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Hope I can go, my back is all screwed up - but if I am going, I can't wait. It's a great place, and the Graves family really have a cool operation. My truck is all ready to go! Just hope I will be. :(

Maybe we should send a few larger MVs down to the tractor pulls to try them out! Cabell, might there be a possibility that I can leave a trailer there onsite for a few days after the rally until I can pick it up? AMGeneral is towing two trailers there for me, and I can only tow one back home...

Getting close, guys - I have to make it down to Graves this weekend to do a little trail maintenance and work on the mud pit. Have a call into Cabell to arrange. Will try and keep this thread BTT at all times to keep it visible to most lookers on the site. Can't wait!

Tried sending a PM to mangus580 to ask him to put a link on the front page to the sign-up page about the VA rally, just like there are links to the signup pages for the GA rally and the Rausch Creek rally, but so far he hasn't responded. Hopefully when he gets some time, I know he is very...

Sure! We patrolled some of the trails for the weekend. Some are good for vehicles up to deuces. Some up to 5-tons. Some are jeeps and power wagons only, mainly due to the narrowness of the trails. To be honest, me and Cabell didn't see too much in the way of maintenance to do. We think...

Eddie, I think that will be a good idea, as long as we can get enough people together who are hungry! :-D The mud pits look very promising, a couple trips through it with a large truck spinning it's tires and it will be a mushy mess! I think the fact that the Lodge has a water truck that...

It will be Labor Day weekend, 2009. Easy to remember. It will run Thursday-Monday, but the big dates are Friday-Sunday. There will be other groups invited as well, from other boards. We're looking at potentially 50 or so vehicles total, including civvy offroaders and jeeps. I probably...

What do you fellas need tents for? Don't you have a bed in your truck to sleep in? :-D Ever since I got my deuce, I no longer need to haul a tent to shows to camp in! I am really looking forward to this event, I hope to meet with Cabell shortly at the rally site to see the trails that we...

Let me know what weekend you're up here, Cabell, I'd like to meet up in Syria and start scouting out the place, start making preliminary plans, etc. Glad to see so many folks interested in the Virginia rally!

Cool! Looks like a good selection of folks coming to the rally this year! Guess I'm gonna have to start calling Cabell and making arrangements to start setting things up!

Yeah guys, I know VA in August/early September is hot as hell. (you guys further south would disagree) But it's not winter, and it's not usually wet in August, so hey, it could be worse. Plus, Cabell and I both figured there is nothing going on then anyways, rally-wise. Labor day is getting...

Bjorn, you can take I-81 north to exit 247 and go east on Rt-33, to the site, OR, you can follow Rt-29 north to Syria. Not sure about what exit on the Blue Ridge Pkwy.

Bruce, Cabell and I talked about doing this one together - it's the same event.

That time of year again! Starting to think about doing a VA rally for Steel Soldiers in 2009... BUT We have a couple options here. This year for me, April is way too crowded a timeframe, I have other things already planned. CGarbee and I were talking about the possibility of having the...
