A couple of videos showing the entire field so that everyone can get an idea of how big an area the guys mowed (and that we have for camping...). https://www.flickr.com/photos/124394777@N06/44196257611/in/datetaken/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/124394777@N06/43478271034/in/datetaken/ The...

Just a few photos from last weekend showing the mowing crew hard at it...

Hate to hear that... Glad that you are doing well and are taking good care of yourself. When you do make it back to Graves, keep in mind that the Saturday night menu has been expanded a bit since not everyone eats pork (or meat, for that matter...). :)

I neglected to take photos of stuff that I have for sale this past weekend... I have: new STA 7.50x16 NDCC tires Lugnuts (inner/outer, left/right) for M37, 2.5, and 5 ton trucks. Plastic Water Cans Plastic Insulated Coffee/Tea/Water/Juice dispensers M37 parts (call if you need something...

Remember that we have lots and lots of space so bring whatever you want to sell/trade/donate... There is no extra fee for vending or for taking up an acre or two of space for all your vehicles and gear... :smile:

Sonny tends to keep the fire at our campsite (middle of the field) on the large side and everyone is always welcome to come by and hang out... We will be having a group bonfire on Sunday night. I plan on dragging wood over to the fire location off and on during the week. Assistance dragging...

You might want to bring some kindling and wood for your first fire... We have been logging for the past five or seven years. We have had a bunch of storms over the winter. We have a lot of quality wood beside the trails waiting to be collected and hauled back to the campsites... Because the...

As mentioned earlier, Al Harvey will post up with some comments before the event and will have a briefing before each range session. That said: The range is "primitive". It's one of the areas that we use to sight in rifles before hunting season, near one of our orchards, just a short ride...

I'll let him post up about it when he is ready, but since Mike SCSG-G4 has informed me that he can't make it this year, Al Harvey has agreed to run the range for us...and he is mulling over some interesting opportunities for folks who attend... :)

In addition to the "regular mix" of trucks, we have confirmed that we will have a M20 on site to give the Halftrack a run for its money around the orchards... A DKW Munga will return from last year and the M561 Gama Goat from two years ago will also be returning and they will both be...

As mentioned, we have a good distribution of folks who rent a motel room, cabin, or camp out in the field. Of the field campers, we seem to split pretty evenly in past years between campers, tents, and back of the truck/trailer... Rooms/cabins at the Lodge come with meals (all you can eat)...

When we put 700 campers in the field for the music festival (Thu-Sat after Memorial Day), it is the rare generator that can be heard at night...even though some folks let them run 24/7. With the smaller group that we have for the MV Trailrides, the sound of even one bounces around the normally...

Great news! Looking forward to seeing you both. It wouldn't be a "Virginia Rally" without you.... :)

I'll be mighty disappointed if you don't bring it to my gathering in Virginia so that you can ride the trails behind my XM708, Cummins 4BT powered M37, Ferro's and John's M37's, Blake's M201...etc... Meanwhile, I see that you have a non-winch bumper but are missing the bottom piece of the grill...

Our next work/preview weekend will be August 18 and 19. We will meet in the camping field at 8:30 Saturday morning and will hit the trails shortly after.... PM me directly or post here if you can help...

A big thanks to Bulldogger for coming down and helping out on our most recent work weekend. Along with some of the folks from Rockridge Offroad, we managed to get a few more trails free of large trees (had a lot come down over the winter...) and we know a few more that a HMMWV can handle (if...

Bulldogger, The cabin is usually five to ten degrees cooler than the field at the Lodge... It is seriously shady, with the river beside it and a small stream from the spring outflow in the side yard (suitable for dog wading...). We can also fire up a fan if needed since we have electricity...

That would be great! I am really, really, wanting to get a HMMWV up on Doubletop Mountain behind the Lodge on the new trails that we have been cutting with the log skidder...and on some of the older ones to confirm that they are wide enough... :)

Our next preview opportunity is the trail cleanup/MV event/Fireworks/Band on the 4th of July. The current plan is for the Rockridge Offroad (the jeep club) folks to arrive the weekend before the 4th and to camp at my cabin at the end of the road. We will do trail rides/cleanup during the...

A few photos from this past weekend showing Steve cutting one of the trees that had fallen on The Devil's Backbone Trail, his Jeep in the mists on the top of the mountain, a pair of trees at the exit of Devil's Backbone that we cut, the view of the Lodge from one of the apple orchards, and a few...
