Must've missed this thread - I'm in Front Royal, been here for 16 years. Before that 1 year in Winchester, 6 years in Culpeper and 5 years in Blacksburg/Christiansburg.
Still MV-less for several years, but able to help anyone out if they need assistance.

There seems to be a fair number of us in the area. I've been off the net for awhile - just getting back on here to Steel Soldiers. I'm in the Leesburg area.
Has anyone here participated in some of the trail rides/convoys done in Loudoun county over the last couple of years?

Don't know about Loudon County, but there's a pow-wow/ hootenanny off 15/29 down toward Charlottesville every year (you know discounting the Plague Year and all). Features good chow, a trail run, and everything. Has its own thread on here, something Mountain is the place, but my feeble plain mind can't remember the name. Graves Mountain?

That's a fine beauty, nice find!
Any plans to restore/ paint it at all, or are you just going to work it till it drops?!

Roger. Have heard about the Graves Mountain Rally - will look to get to it this year with a vehicle if I can. I looked at their previous events and they seem great.
I'm with a group of mil vehicle owners who do a spring and fall gravel/dirt road convoy in Loudoun and surrounding area. One day events but still a good 40 mile workout for the vehicles and a chance to partner up with some good, like minded folks and similar vehicles. It has mainly been jeeps and 3/4 tons, but have also had deuces as well. Would be open to all types of mil vehicles.

Both? Perhaps somewhere down the line I can trade to a Vietnam enthusiast for an A2 so I don’t feel so bad about working a piece of history.

If you don't mind going to the trouble, you could start an event thread about it here on SS.
People would likely appreciate that, and also show up!
Graves Mountian, the Georgia Rally. There's more than a few threads like that.

Don't feel bad, they were built for work!
Better working than just sitting doing nothing somewhere, turning into rust. Now THAT would be sad.

Roger. Will post something before the next trip once dates/locations are determined for this year's convoy/ride.

I'm in Arlington, VA. Bought an M1165a1 back in October, which has been serviced/repaired by Retired War Horses, and is coming home in a couple of weeks.

Outstanding!
Any background on Retired War Horses, what and where exactly is that operation?

Retired War Horses is in Brentwood, CA. He is very active on the HMMWV forum (and related Facebook groups), and as far as I can tell the most knowledgeable HMMWV guy there is. I had the truck shipped to him from Yermo, CA, where it was auctioned.

Welcome to the madness! Nice ride. Look forward to more Pics when it shows up. Did RWH do any upgrades or just service it? Are you planning any upgrades?
