Dulles is my preference since it is on the "right side" of DC for getting to Graves... The drive from Dulles to Graves Mountain is about 1.5 hours unless you have the misfortune of doing it during a traffic peak... I always feel much better when I get past Manasses....

So, I said that I would be at Graves for the 4th of July and that we could do some trail preview and maintenance during the 5th through 7th... However, Mom has decided that she would like my brother and I to visit her instead... ;) With the lack of folks notifying me that they want to sweat...

I'll be at Graves for the 4th of July celebration...staying through the weekend. I'll be bringing my Mom with me, so I will be in her car and not my Jeep... Those who wish to drop by and get a preview of the trails, maybe do some trimming, etc., let me know and we'll coordinate. Since I...

I just updated the website for the event... Or, I managed to change the header to be more universal (took the dates off it so that I don;t have to change it every year...), updated the dates on the main page, and exchanged this year's registration and information flyer (located under the...

I received this today and am passing it along in case anyone is interested... "My apologies for the delay in sending this to you. This is the car show announcement and registration form. Please share with your MV buddies. Hope to see you on Father's day at the show. Please note, there is no...

Since we have ties to the 29th Infantry Division (we drive on some of the same roads and trails that they did)....and it will be the 80th Anniversary of D-Day this June... We are planning on dedicating this year's event to those that went ashore in forty-four...especially those from the "Blue...

The dates for the 16th Annual Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally are Wednesday, August 28, through Monday, September 2, 2024. I'll be updating the website soon.... The thread for last year's event (for reference) is located at Graves Mountain Rally Syria Virginia 2023 | SteelSoldiers...

With regret... I WILL NOT be bringing the MKT to Denton!! With only eight people (including myself) marked as "attending" on the Facebook event that I created for this, and only two folks who actually said that they would be interested in eating at the MKT (combined note here and a text...

I find cooking for a group to be a nice, relaxing, break from my day job... If I have enough people who sign up, this is what I am thinking. Not enough sign up for the MKT, I am likely to leave it at home and rethink what, or if, I do any cooking… My current plan is to arrive on Wednesday (I...

All the more reason for us to figure out how to get you down to the farm in Virginia, or for me to start attending events in your neighborhood again...

Denton NC MV Gathering at the FarmPark. FarmPark dates are April 27-28, 2024. I spotted the flyer for the 2024 version of the Denton, North Carolina event online the other day... Not seeing anything here, I thought that I would share it. The event has evolved over the years since we first...

Honestly, I would introduce her to the Military manuals...they are well written and the foundation that you will create will last a lifetime. I would also introduce her to the PM Magazine articles on the M37 since they are in more of a "cartoon" format having been designed to catch the...

For those of you who like to plan ahead... The dates for the 2024 MV/Jeep Trailrides and Rally at Graves Mountain will be August 28 through September 2, 2024.

It's been long enough that I have almost recovered (aka, I have dug down through the pile of stuff that was waiting for me to handle when I got back to the office...)... So, a huge thanks to all the attended and especially those that helped put the event together (Chuck, Rad, Steve, Laura...

Today ;)

This morning... I have the camping field to myself...

Remember that the closest fuel is 12 miles from the Lodge in Madison, so get gas/diesel on your way in.... I'm here working on getting the signs and tent up ready for everyones' arrival.... :)

Graves Mountain Trailrides and Rally... Event "preview" and a reminder that it is coming up soon!! We are planning on having a trail clearing on August 26-27 (the weekend before the rally). We'll plan on meeting at the Syria Store at 8AM each morning... We already managed to get the big stuff...

In my mailbox today... :) Looking forward to seeing you soon!

When you come to the event, keep an eye out for Chopper... and other four legged friends... Well minded furry family members are always welcome to attend and enjoy the event and the environs.. (Thanks to Blake for posting this photo elsewhere so that I could "borrow" it... )
