I was invited to be a codriver for the Halloween Poker Run put on by Flat Broke and 4-Wheelin. Having never done a poker run at TSF I was kind of curious to check it out.
I met up with Joey (FiveNDime) in Battle Ground 0630, and we headed for TSF. After checking in, buying some raffle tickets, and dealing with a freak ground issue, we were on our way to CP1. Our buddy Josh rolled with us for the day, and offered some amps until we figured out the issue (bad ground connection).
Waiting in line for CP1. Poker runs require patience, which we all quickly realized.
Sand Flea's were running CP1. My dart throwing skills were embarrassing.
Moving along to CP2, and onto Cedar Tree.
Waiting in line at CP2. It was a pretty chill day, lots of BS'ing, and the weather was perfect.
This was actually a pretty fun challenge. You had to balance a tennis ball in a cup at the end of the pole, while the driver drove around a off camber cone course. The end was a 20" drop.
Dropping down Dog Leg to the next CP.
Hammer toss challenge.
We drove by Can Opener and stopped to see who was playing on it. Wasn't surprised to find Joe from OTC spotting some friends up it. This was a sweet rear engine buggy powered by a Lexus V8.
Joey and I chased some tail for a bit.
Events like these bring out a pretty eclectic group.
CP5 was a shooting challenge. I think it would have been more fun if it had been a 300 Win Mag, but the BB gun got us our bonus points just fine.
Our buddies son, Brandon, rolled with us for the day. Brandon taking aim.
We cruised back to Browns after the last check point, turned in our score sheet, loaded the Jeep, and then stuck around for the raffle. Flat Broke put on a hell of a raffle with a Stihl Chainsaw, welder, winch, light bars, and lots of other prizes. We stopped for a Red Robin burger and beer on the way home making for a great end to a day in the forest.
