Graves Mountain Rally Syria Virginia 2025

[Bulldogger]

Cabell, we are coming Friday noon-ish. Because my HMMWV is busted (again) I won't be coming with the usual glamping setup. Lean and mean this year.

We love having a campfire, but won't be able to bring wood this year. Do you know of some dried, cut wood we can gather and split? I can bring an axe for sure, and can get a camp saw if needed. I probably won't have room for my 16" bar chainsaw. I can go foraging if I have to, it's no trouble.

We're looking forward to the weekend very much as always.

Looking forward to it. For the swap meet I may bring a few small things.
As a reminder to the HMMWV crowd, I have vinyl soft slant back kits and custom cargo covers available. All handmade, by me. I can bring one/some if anyone is interested in making a purchase.

Bumping this for one last reminder. I have soft slant back kits in stock in several colors and two black HMMWV 4-man cargo covers also. I will not bring any unless someone commits to purchase, as I haven't the room for a "maybe" in my car this year.

We have wood alongside the trails from trimming that can be gathered.
We also have a firewood pile nearby...

See you soon

We'll put the "Burma Shave" signs up tonight. Otherwise, we are ready...

Another great event at Graves Mtn. Lodge! Thanks to Cabell and his crew for putting a top-notch rally. Had lots of fun doing the truck games and riding some of the lighter-duty trails around the mountainsides. Drove the CUCV up from Appomattox to Madison County, camped out in the beautiful weather (!!!), and overall had a nice, relaxing time.

Me and the tax-write-off in the CUCV heading up towards Rapidan Camp. Bumpy ride but the M1009 stretched her legs out without a hitch.

Looking forward to next year!
