OK we did a poker run with the jeep club today. They split us into three groups. We were the trail leaders of Group 1 and were the first to leave out of the gas station where we met, and the last in to the final destination.
The first thing we did was head up the best trail in that area, the railroad grade. It wasn't a race, you just had to find all the markers at each point marked on the map, and make it to the last stop by about 1:00 for lunch.
There, as long as you got all the markers
(and picked up at least bag's worth trash on the way, we always do a clean-up too), each driver of the group got their poker hand.
I had no intention of taking main forest roads, this was a trail ride after all, and it sounds like every one had a good time. The other two groups just headed straight for the main forest roads, which are just wide fast (and dusty) rides, with maybe some short side trips.
Anyway, here are some pics... it's been wetter out there but you can usually always find water on the railroad grade.
At one point, a trail that was supposed to go through, didn't, so we sent the rest of the Jeeps round the detour, and Mark forged ahead, over a downed tree, and through a couple others, he flipped the shackles backward, again, and bent the hood. So that's two war wounds in as many days!
