Any anecdotal information about this? My M is far from ready to make a trip like this but it is relatively close and of interest in the coming years.

I have been going to the Virginia rally at Graves Lodge for close to 10 years and have brought both my m37 and the m201. The farm is probably 1000 acres so there is plenty of space to social distance. No matter how you enjoy your vehicle- the Virginia rally is the place. There are trails in the mountains that vary as extreme as you would like to challenge to a gravel roadbed through the orchard. Some show trucks park in the field on display and have an equally good time.
Primitive camping is available in the pasture as well as lodging of all size through reservations at graves mountain lodge. Snacks/lunches/supper are available at the adjacent Syria mercantile store or at the lodge. The rally is family friendly.
The rally fee covers rally host expenses, your camping through the event, access to the farm, and a homemade eastern nc bbq buffet supper on Saturday night. Cabell is a gracious host. I’m definitely looking forward to this year!

The event is getting closer and closer...

Pre-Registrations are almost the same as last year, so we should have some nice sized groups heading out on the trails and hanging around the field, farm, Lodge, orchards, county roads...
