Just thought that I would remind everyone that we will be having the 9th Annual Graves Mountain Military Vehicle and Vintage 4x4 Trail Rides in VA again this year over the Labor Day weekend. Event dates are August 31-September 4, 2017 in scenic Syria, Virginia, at the historic Graves Mountain Lodge....

I should advise everyone that this rally is very family friendly... with about a third of the attendees of the rally being wives, girlfriends, or children... The location has plenty of activities (wineries, hiking trails, swimming pool, horseback riding, historic sites nearby, shooting range, etc.) ...

UPDATE TIME We have been up to the event site a couple times in the last month ensuring that the trails are clear and ready for vehicles. Managed to create another pair of loop trails on the mountain that can be run with five ton trucks (I am taking my M817 dump truck as my trail truck this year, so...

A buddy of mine posted a photo on Facebook yesterday of his dog riding along in his M151A2 on one of the trails last year and it reminded me that I should let everyone know that this event is very dog friendly. Your hound should bring a leash though so that they can keep you close when you are in th...

I just thought that I would let everyone know that we will be having a work weekend on July 2-4... The Graves set off fireworks (professional, 45 minute show) on the 4th at 2100 with bands, food, etc. all afternoon leading up to the fireworks. We will be meeting in the camp field each morning at 090...

Event dates are September 1-5, 2016. We have over forty miles of trails (from very easy orchard roads ...

Cummins has the manuals, you can order them online or from a local distributor.
I have a Ford ZF setup behind my 4BT and can help you source one, but it would be helpful to know your location as distance matters (shipping)...

Just a quick reminder that we don't have cell phone coverage around the Lodge or the camping area... So bring you CB, military radio, or FRS radio... Most common trail communications device is a CB, but we use them all... Frequencies/Channels used will be posted at the registration tent

I just received a big box of goodies from Rick Sultan (dodgepowerwagongear.com) for use as prizes for the truck games and such at the rally...
So, come on, join us for the trailrides and the fellowship and score some cool swag while you are at it...

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are having the Graves Mountain MV Trailrides and Rally again this year. As always, it will be over the Labor Day weekend… September 3-7, 2015. Older civilian vehicles are welcome (so, just about any Dodge Power Wagon fits right in…) as well as anything Milita...

Tossed some good brake drums on the trailer as well. Took them off my truck when I installed disc brakes...
Put a wheel on for Carter...
