Lady Naval Veteran turned Avid Rock Crawler

Meet Navy Vet Lorie Graves born in Capinteria California and currently based at Seabee Base Port, Hueneme
California. Lorie joined the Navy in 1991 during the Desert Storm because she felt the need to fight for what
was right and to fight for her country. Lorie feels she is ill suited for her current job as an administrator processing what seems to be an endless amount of paperwork at a computer desk all day long. She much reather be
outdoors in nature with rocks, trees, mountain and canyons then be among buildings and traffic in the city.
Lorie had grew up around the guys shooting marbles, fishing and racing BMX bikes but she did not have her
first off road experience until she left the Navy in 1995 at the age of 25 years old when she bought a 91 short
bed Toyota truck. The truck took Lorie everywhere she wanted to go and had done much mudding and some
rock crawling for 10 years before she finally had to part with it.
