A few pics from the Hi-Lander's Poker Run on Father's Day

The event was held on the Rubicon-Wentworth Springs Trail, June 20, 2009.

Me and my boy, Kevin. I gave this Jeep to him for his high school graduation this month. This was his first time driving on the Rubicon. He did well.

Lining up for Gate Keeper.

Check six.

A good shot of Loon Lake in the background.

Kevin piloting his new rig.

Easy, cheesy.

Well, this WAS my rig. I'll build the Frog taller and more capable and conquer tougher trails.

Nearly at the end of the trail.

There was something like 80+ vehicles. Once again, we were the least capable vehicle with 31" tires, but we breezed through the trail with no damage.

My kid won the #1 prize for the best poker hand (4 Aces and a Queen high) but it was marked down as 4 Aces and a 9, so he was only awarded second place, which was cash and a trophy. I think first prize was more cash, a bigger trophy, and a really hot chick.

We were the first group of 20 that entered the Loon Lake side at 5 am and finished at Airport Flats campground (via Wentworth Trail) by 12, which was not long enough in my estimation.

We encountered a few guys running the trail in the opposite direction trying to get past us. Their expression was priceless when they realized there was over 60 vehicles coming at them.
