IMPORTANT NOTICE: Our special use permit (due to the ongoing process of getting a Health Department's certification of a well in the horse camping field) allows us to begin overnight camping on Friday night, August 29. If you come on early (Thursday), we'll have to park you behind the packing...

We'll miss you Rich... Guess that we'll have to get together at Denton in the Spring... ;)

While mowing the big field this past Saturday, Gary took this photo of a bald eagle. We have several of them nesting in the area... :)

I would have to look at the roster (which I need to update tonight for BMan to use a the registration tent...), but, offhand: Laura and her granddaughter Khloe, Debbie, Donna, Lynn (who has not been before), and Pam. BMan will be joined by his daughter, but I think that his wife and other...

CSmith and BlakeS are convoying up from the Tidewater area on Friday. You might be able to hitch a ride.

Olbucksnort is correct... You DON'T actually have to arrive and/or have a MV to attend... :) We should be able to get folks out on the trails as co-drivers... I also know a couple of folks who are planning on spending the weekend in the pool or hanging out in the big field socializing..

I've had a few phone call concerning camping at Graves... The field that the horse crowd uses (between our field and the main road) is closed to overnight camping due to the drilling of new wells and the Graves are awaiting Health Department ok on them before they resume unrestricted overnight...

Don, just come on up. I'll talk to the guy handling registration for you. :)

The equestrian folks will be camping in the front field again this year and will use some of the same trails we are using. We will once again use the rear entrance to the MV field instead of driving through the area with the horses. The Lodge stables will be open for those of you who wish to...

Welcome from Raleigh... Since my MKT's appearance at the spring NC rally in Denton has been mentioned, and the GA Rally has also been mentioned, I'll add to the list of events not too far away: The VA Rally at Graves Mountain Lodge over Labor Day Weekend and the East Coast Rally at Aberdeen, MD...

Wonderful!! The shop will be open in case you want to do a drive by...but don't plan on using it... :) I'm not sure that rangemaster Mike will let you "blast away", but we are going to celebrate the 2nd Amendment again this year. ;)

Good looking trailer. Considering the number of them that I've had over the years that have been abused by the former owners (hard use or really odd modifications), yours is in amazing shape. I'm running omni-volt LEDs in mine so that I can tow with either a civilian 12v truck or one of the...

We spent this past weekend (July 4th) riding the trails and doing some more clearing, etc. We have a few more trials ready for this year than last, including some on the lower elevations of the two mountains that border the property that we can ride on with the larger trucks (you know, five ton...

Olbucksnort will be happy to hear that we also worked on widening the Blue Trail in a couple of spots to that he can run that bobbed truck up another trail... :)

We had a work weekend for Father's Day and ran all the trails on the Graves' property. Had to cut a few trees that had fallen, but everything looked good in general. We'll go back for another work weekend on July 4-6 to run the trails that are on the neighbor's property and to spray some...

I just noticed this... I was out of town for the weekend. There is a gathering of MVs' over in Timberlake (not far from Raleigh) every year that a bunch of the guys go to. The organizers provide prime parking and free food/drinks to those who show up with a MV for display (the organizer is a...

With all the talk about upcomming events and the need for some folks to get things nailed down at work (or with the Significant Other), I thought that I would let everyone know that the VA Rally (aka Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally) will be held on Aug 29-Sept 1, 2014 (aka, Labor Day...

I spoke to a couple of other vendors who mentioned that they go to a couple of shows (not just MV but car, gun/knife as well) in the month before this one...and that sales at the other shows are so good that they run low on stock. Then, they have trouble replacing stock and don't have much, if...

I had a great time! Didn't sell nearly as much stuff as in past years (I didn't bring as much stuff, but I also noticed a big drop in the number of folks from "outside" the hobby who usually walk by my setup and purchase itmes that aren't vehicle specific-such as ammo cans, fuel/water cans...

That's the thousand dollar question.... :) Some say that you have to get there on Wednesday (dealer setup) or early Thursday to get the bargains as the vendors set up and unpack stuff. Some say that you get the best deals on Saturday when almost everyone packs up to go home (the place is about...
