4wanderingeyes, is this the weekend you planned for Wisconsin?

[Scott K]

Yes it was but I can change my weekend around this. It may work out better for me anyway to change the date.

[Roofer]

Think it over and let me know.

Anyone interested in this?

[Dave S]

Sorry, I have 2 graduations that weekend.

[Augusta]

My wife and I are members of the club, we may even be helping out with the event or at least, we will be going. It's going to be a blast!

[Hafnutz]

I might be interested, haven't been on a poker run in years..

[Dave S]

I was wrong. My graduations are the week before. But I did receive an e-mail from the DNR today that there is a Trails Ambassador Training course to be held at Cabelas in Rogers that day. I guess I know what I'll be doing.

I guess I better renew my ATVAM membership.

Stupid question here: What is a poker run? I think its something where you ride from bar to bar and at each stop you get a card, have a drink, then on to the next. Then that the end of the day whoever has the best hand wins?

If so what bar's are in on the deal?

[Dave S]

no bars, no drinking.

The poker runs that I've seen have check stations along the trails and you get a card at each station. At the end of the day, whoever has the best hand wins.

[Augusta]

Lep is right, you will be riding on the Soo Line and Red Top and you will get your cards at certain points on the trail, you only get to drink water....

That's the way the snowmobile ones were. Sounds like this is different.

[Roofer]

You could swing by my place afterwards and have a few if you like.

[reelemin]

I'm interested, and am gonna try to make it.

Or we could ride up to my family's hunting land north of McGrath. Fire, drink, eat. I know that area from Isle to Moose Lake and beyond like the back of my hand. I could show people some great "off the beaten path trails" but the DNR has really clamped down back there as far as what you can do and ride. But theres still some good places.

[Sandmannd]

I'm interested, have to see what's going on that weekend. Glad to see it's not drinking while driving an ATV.

[Sandmannd]

Hey reelemin, how many place trailer do you have? Would you be intersted in car pooling if I can get a kitchen pass?

[reelemin]

I have a small enclosed trailer. And if I go I would also be bringing mt kayak in it to do some fishing.

So sorry, but that wouldn't work. Am looking forward to meeting a bunch of you guys thou.

[Scott K]

Sounds like a dusty ride, better hope for some rain the day before!

[Iambjm]

Does anyone know how long a ride it is? Can a hubby and wife come as a team, I have a 2 up we both ride on? Would we each pay or just one?

Giving this a lot of thought.

[Dave S]

I would think they would honor it either way. If you wanted to double enter as a couple, or enter as a single machine.

Good Question!!!

[Augusta]

Barb,

Your best bet would be to call Shawn Leach, he is one of the organizers of the event and he will know the rules. Hope to see you there!

Near the Solana State Forest? I see there are trails there now.

[huntmup]

Yup in the Solana State forest. There working a trail system back there I dont know if they will ever get it done. But they have been building trails back there. If they can link it up with the Soo line(which they may do) then it would be a pretty good trail system.

I'm there and I'll bring mybuddies
