I agree this has got to be one of the best Poker Runs ever, last year there was over 200 boats! Great place, great people.
I has been lookong forward to this all summer!:cool:

I am in the same situation, but worse....

Twin 15 year old outboard motors that have never been tore apart. I want to run in the poker run too, but I might wait till next year too.

If I don't run in it, I'll meet you guys at the mouth of Wolf Creek on Saturday.

Are you staying at Grider Hill?
It looks like us non-runners will be rafting off at the mouth of Wolf Creek to spectate. Join us!

I think I'll watch until they head back towards Grider Hill, from there I would like to run with the pack and then follow them back.

thanks willy for the info, just called and reserved two rooms. hows the accomidations, ie ac, tv, etc. how many boats are registered as of today, can we still get a slip for the boat at the marina(jamestown).

Jim
