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.... :)

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... )

The shirts have been ordered... :)

Revised date!! (The Graves are hosting a trailbike "hare race" the weekend of August 18-20) 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 off...

We had a successful trail evaluation and clearing this past weekend (coinciding with Peach Day at Graves Mountain). Steve, Irvin, and I, managed to ride all the trails on Graves Mountain and a few over on Doubletop Mountain.... We had to do a bit of chainsaw work on each trail due to fallen...

I'll be at Graves this weekend for Peach Day. Mom has decided to make the trip (first time in years), so I won't have my Jeep... If any of you plan on attending and perhaps doing some riding/trail maintenance...please let me know ASAP... I did haul the trail mower up over the 4th of July...

I'll be at the Syria Store at 8:00 each morning from Saturday, July 1 through 4 for those who are able to join in for trail maintenance... Send me a PM or a text message if you are coming so that I will know to be on the lookout for you.... Once we head out, it's nearly impossible for folks...

I finally got off my rear and went by the post office today .... The registration form/flyer/trail crew info packet is on its way to those who are on the mailing list for hard copies... If you need one, either download it from the link above or give me a shout and I'll ensure that you have...

Trail Crew! Join us for a combined four days of trail maintenance and site preparation leading up to the week of the event and earn yourself a Trail Crew shirt and other recognition. We will be having a work weekend (trail clearing/trail preview) during the days leading up to the 4th of July...

I think that I have the website updated....including putting the current flyer/registration form up (when you download the pdf, it still says that it is the 2018 form...just ignore that bit as I haven't fixed that link...). Hopefully, Meghan will get the shirt design to me before long so I can...

As noted above, I have revised the flyer and reposted it and the registration page to show the correct date for the start of the event...although as SCSG-G4 has noted, I will be on site prior to the date posted and don't mind if a few of you show up early as well.... Just let me know if you...

Geez... Good thing that I haven't mailed these out yet... I got it correct on the registration page and have a typo on the flyer... Correct dates are August 30 - September 4, 2023 .... I might show up on August 20th just to get things ready and to decompress from the day job... Thanks!!

Keep in mind that we will be having a work weekend on July 4 (complete with fireworks from Graves Mountain and the annual battle of the fireworks between the Lodge guests and some of the neighbors... So, you get about three hours of serious show...plus food and music). We will also have a...

The flyer and registration form... Revised May 17 to fix the date issue that SCSG-G4 spotted on the first page... :)

I've got the registration form and flyer updated (changed the dates and the photos) and will upload them on Monday since I have the wrong laptop with me this weekend. Meghan, who did our shirt last year, is working on a shirt design.... I'll be checking on the trails after Memorial Day and...
