Updated the flyer/registration form today and sent it and the link to last year's photos (on flickr) to Amnon for the website update... With luck, I've managed to attach the flyer/registration form to this post (it's a PDF).

I'm not going to be able to make the rally... Shoot me a PM with your phone number and a good time to call and I'll tell you all you want to know (and more) about owning HMVs in NC. Keep in mind that I do have a copy of the General Statutes and DMV Manuals on my desk.. :) I also need to tell you...

If you don't score them at the rally, let me know and I'll make you a deal on the above as I know I have the stuff in stock... I can bring it all up to Graves Mountain for the Bluegrass Festival the weekend after Memorial Day (actually, I will be at the farm from Memorial Day through the...

So, I just learned that I have to be at three project sites this week that are at different ends of the state (NC)... So, it looks like I will not be able to get to the rally this year (for the first time since 1990...). This is the second event that I have had to miss this year due to work...

I'm on my phone and can't seem to edit my above post... I just wanted to add that a listing of vendors who have already reserved spots might also help some folks on their decision to attend....

It's a shame that there is not a listing, as there has been in the past, on the website showing who has reserved the spaces that are occupied already. I know that it takes effort, but it would be nice for those of us displaced by the rearrangement to see where folks are so that we know what...

I got to playing around with the Flickr account yesterday and thought that I would upload all of the photos that I had collected from this event into one place... So, go over to https://www.flickr.com/photos/124394777@N06/collections/72157677043750354/ and enjoy... Oh, in case you are...

Considering that I have a trailer that will be converting the front half into a RV (leaving the rear for gear), the more threads like this, the better IMHO...

It will be interesting to see... Since they are eliminating an entire double row of vendor spaces, they have less to sell. That being said, I am seriously thinking about not purchasing any spaces this year (I have been getting four...) and instead getting a hotel room for a night and not...

So, I just got my letter from Anja at the Washington Area Collectors/Blue and Gray Military Vehicle Trust with the vendor information and renewal form for my spaces at this year's event. According to the letter, the 44th Annual East Coast Rally will be held on May 11-13, 2017 at Ripken...

We did mention at the Sunday's bonfire that you had missed the event for this reason and raised a toast to your Dad... We are looking forward to seeing you this year, no matter what MV you bring or don't bring...

So, the list of things that folks have mentioned that I should tweak for this year (copied over from a post in last year's thread so that I will remember them): White board at the HQ tent for updates to the trail ride schedule and to remind folks of Mike's availability for range duty, etc. A...

The thread for the 2017 event is now up and running... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?163389-Graves-Mountain-Rally-Syria-VA-August-31-September-4-2017

I was really looking forward to this as a long weekend away from the office is a great thing... I had the weekend of the 22nd blocked out (and still have nothing on the schedule for the weekends of April 29 and May 6), but the cuts in our staff will keep me from getting off work from April 7...

Since you mention both the rally and the date... I thought that I would go ahead and create the thread for the event (and get started on the website updates, etc). Official dates are August 31-September 4, 2017. See...

9th Annual Graves Mountain Military Vehicle and Vintage 4x4 Trail Rides! Labor Day Weekend August 31-September 4, 2017 At the historic Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, Virginia. It's time for me to start the thread for the annual gathering so that everyone can start planning and get time off...

The current dates conflict with a required work trip... I can't make it on the 12-16th...

Welcome from Raleigh, NC (and from the alternate home in Syria, VA...). As mentioned, the Denton Rally in the Spring is a lot of fun as is the Graves Mountain Rally in the Fall (Labor Day Weekend) and both are easy driving from your location.

Go back in this thread to my earlier post. Follow the link to the page on my website that has the dimensions for the bed wood on a M37 and M101.... You will find that I included the dimensions of the bows....

Yep, you have to be on FB to see them... Now up to 431 photos... I'll get them moved over to the event website at some point...
