  • Graves Mountain Trailrides in VA Sept 1-5, 2011

    Well, it's that time again! We are putting together the 3rd Annual Graves Mountain rally up at the farm in Virgina. We're looking for folks who want a nice family-oriented get-together, lots of outdoor activities at the Lodge, as well as trail rides, vending for anyone who wants to sell stuff, etc. We had a great time last year, maybe 30 people and 15 or so trucks, open to everyone from 1/4-ton trucks to 10-tons, there is something here for everyone!

    We have had a few work weekends this year and have managed to create a bunch of new trails ranging from really tough (rock garden up on top of the ridge, steep, use a built jeep and be fearless...) down to some mild ones on the side of a mountain and down in the valley by the river (great for the deuces and five ton trucks).

    The event is also open to all trucks that are civilian in nature, 25 years old or older.

    The info (design) for this year's shirt should be updated sometime this week (waiting for the graphic from the designer--it features a photo of a M151 fording the river that we took year before last...).

    September 1-5, 2011 are the dates.

    Time for an update on the 3rd Annual Graves Mountain rally up at the farm in Virgina.

    We have had a few work weekends this year and have managed to create a bunch of new trails ranging from really tough down to some mild ones on the side of a mountain and down in the valley by the river.

    We added about five more miles to the trail system last week, so that brings us up to eight or so more miles of trails than we had last year... All of what we did last week is very M37/Power Wagon friendly. :)

    This brings us up to something like 50 miles of trails (and we have a lot of little county roads to ride on as well...).

    The event is also open to all trucks that are civilian in nature, 25 years old or older.

    We have three M37's registered so far in addition to the other vehicles attending: one stock, one with a big block, and a dumptruck variant...

    September 1-5, 2011 are the dates.

    There is still plenty of time for folks to get registered... But the event is fast approaching (it's next month)...

      The trailrides and rally are almost here :)

      I'll be on site Wednesday night so that I can put up signage and open some gates before folks start to roll in on Thursday.

      Even though the website has a registration deadline on it, you can still drop in and register at the gate (although we won't be able to guarantee that you'll get a shirt...)...

      Reports from the area are that neither the earthquake nor the hurricane did much damage, so all we have to do now is cross our fingers for smooth travels for everyone.
