Well, it's that time again! Time to gather all the folks in the surrounding area for the 4th annual Graves Mountain rally in scenic Syria, VA! For those not familiar with where it is, Syria is about 75 miles SW of Washington, D.C. in the mountains of Madison County, VA.
There has been a lot of work at the site this spring, crews have cut approximately 20 MILES of new offroad trails, bringing the total amount of trails to about 40 MILES, suitable for everything from little jeeps to 5-tons in size! These are all privately owned trails, and the difficulty ranges from easy gravel roads to double-black-diamond for those who like a challenge! Also, all the trails have been GPS mapped and will be available on a printout so you can go out on your own (min 2 trucks together, please) and see all the new trails.
The scenery in the area is beautiful, the atmosphere is laid-back, and the people who come to the rally are great! We've had dozens of vehicles show up in the past and we are going to advertise heavily this time, we'd like more folks to show up, anyone who owns an MV is welcome, and for those who don't, older 4x4s are welcome as well (30 years or older for the vehicles).
Pets are welcome (on a leash), there is access to the lodge where you can eat and stay if camping out in the open is not your thing. The lodge has a swimming pool, access to a fishing pond, and horse trail rides if you're into horses as well. Showers are available too. Cost of admission includes a big dinner Saturday, and access to all that the lodge has to offer. This year we're going to have some more contests as well.
I have attached the event flyer and the signup form. The website for the rally is
http://www.gravesmountaintrailrides.com/
The website has more information on the schedule, the rules, photos from past events, info on the T-shirts, and more. There are no limits to the number of attendees, we have plenty of field for the camping.
SO - Sign up now, the event will be here before we know it! I'll keep adding more info as we get closer to the event.
