Up here on the Ouachita around Monroe. The stops are still being determined as are the host establishment and the date. By car from Hammond it is 3 1/2 hrs (make adjustments for towing a boat). For my out of town friends, I'll probably get a host hotel with plenty of space for boat parking that's convenient to a boat ramp. There are no real navigation hazards to speak of nearby on this river, but there are a couple of wake zones. I'll have a pretty good map drawn up, so no worries there.
Again - still in the planning phase, so nothing definite, but I am contemplating a 100% payout for high hand, and donated items for 2nd, 3rd, and low hand. If everything goes right, only the cardstop sponsor money and any donations will go to the club. Working on a band for after the run, too.
AND - since it's a river, the water will be flat so you and JLay can make all the stops! LOL

P.S. Let us know if we need a permit to cross the mason-dixon line (alexandria)!

While I am not QUITE in the Tickfaw area (LOL) I am close enough to invite you guys to a poker run I am organizing to benefit my local rotary club. Trying to pick a date. Looking at the second week of June at the earliest to some time in July. Anyone interested or have any input on dates?
More info in a week or two.

Have anymore info? First I've heard anything about it. Nobody has even mentioned it around town.

didn't go out in the lake..was a little to rough for Patti...I would have liked to run a little while and get some more seat time in the rough though...she just doesn't care for airing the boat out at all... she said "GET A CRUISER!!!!"

My wife says the same thing that's why she never come's with me. It wasn't too bad on the ride there but the ride back it was white cappin and easily 3'. Not a bad ride though. We did not see any other boat's out in the lake on the east side (guess it's just a little too early). It was still nice to get out on the water though.
