For 2009 the Rover Owners Association of Virginia ( ROAV) is proud to announce the new location of the Mid-Atlantic Rally, Airy Hill Farms in Caroline County Virginia. The Rally will be held on October 1-4. The new location is approximately 700 acres in a working farm of 6000 acres. The setting is similar to the Pearl’s Pond property that was the home of the MAR for so many years, but is located centrally between Richmond and Washington D.C. This is the first time an event like this has been held there, and the trails system is going to be an ongoing building process. Currently there are more than 7 miles of trails. As in years past there will be free camping on site. The new location is just 15 minutes from I-95, with a Howard Johnson’s and a Super 8 as well as several fast food restaurants. There is a small campground nearby as well. We believe we have found a new location for the MAR that will satisfy many of the varied desired characteristics of past Rallies while giving us room to expand and grow. Details and registration to follow.

to answer some questions that were asked on Mike and Mary's trip this weekend, about the MAR

Will there be guided trails?
no, the property will be open as MARs have been in the past. There is some discussion of using a curfew but nothing has been decided yet.

Will other vehicles be allowed on the trails?
sorry, this is a ROAV Land Rover event only.

How difficult are the trails?
not very at the moment, but we will be holding at least two work weekends to explore all the trails we have not tried yet and to start the network of more advanced stuff. It is not the Spring Rally at Crozet, no giant rocks. There is the capability of building a much larger network of trails than we had at Pearl's Pond. This year is going to be a low key event, more about camping with friends and exploring the property.

Are there going to be amenities ( Showers, Bathrooms ) like at Oak Ridge?

the set up will be the same as we had at MARs previously. Because we have two hotels very close, we decided to skip the showers to keep costs down.

Are there going to be Golf Carts?
nope.

Is is going to be a Luxurious Dinner?
no meals planned yet, we are looking into food vendors. We may include a meal at some point, but it will be along the lines of barbecue.

What about the Raffle and Auction?
same as before, we may split them up over two nights so it is not so long.

How is the Camping Area ( anywhere you want or localized ) ?
we have three areas we will be using for camping, but as the work weekends evolve that may change/expand.

Are RV's allowed?
We will see, but I do not think we will have space for RVs this year. Smaller pop up style campers are fine. Last edited by ukoffroad on Thu Jun 25, 2009 09:45 AM; edited 3 times in total

Hey Gustavo!

Just come on down, you will have fun. You need to get out of Carroll County more often! AND, we are not too far away from you this year.

I hope all is well with you...

Eric
