Yes, It would. There will be areas of the trails that are dirt bike/dual sport friendly, but a lot of the trails will be 12 to 24 inches deep with water and mud, some trails will be marked with black diamonds......these trails will be to entertain those who think they have a bad enough ATV/SidexSide to make it through.....were talkin really deep, chest wader deep.

     How about some info on the poker run. How much for best hand?

Welcome to the forum taz bf 750.

About the poker run,....I will be signing people up for the poker run as soon as the gates open Friday at 4:oopm until Saturday at noon.

The cost is $10 a hand for the first 50 people to sign up and the winner will collect all $500 in cash.

This is how it works, You sign up and pay for a card/cards as soon as you get to the event property (from me), and on Saturday at 1:00pm you will gather with all the other participants of the poker run and be given the actual card which you will carry with you on a special 4-5 mile trail on the north end of the property where there will be 4 poker run staff members in various location along the trail, any cards not picked up by 1:30pm will be disqualified, with no refund.
 Each participant will draw a card from a bag of a complete deck and the poker run staff member will mark that card being drawn for with the appropriate rank and suit of the card drawn, you will then continue along the trail until you have all 4 "trail" cards drawn, then you will proceed back to the main parking area where you will come back to the same spot you got your card and draw your last card (5th card) from me. The 5th card can be drawn starting at 4:oopm but no later than 4:59pm (no cards will be drawn after 4:59pm) and who ever has the best 5 card poker hand at 5:oopm will walk away with $500 in CASH.

Hope to see you there taz.

It's always a great time, so sign up and enjoy the fun.

The trails are pretty wet right now, a lot of the trails that we plan to use for this years event are too deep for the majority of our club members bikes to arrow yet.....that's not really a problem, several of'm have jet skies.... Cool

No, sorry taz, if your friends want to ride the poker run course they will have to purchase a card.

 Now, if you pay for a card and your lady/wife wants to ride on the back with you that's fine, but each bike/ATV/sidexside must have a poker run card to ride the poker run trail.

Just so everyone understands,....the main Pumpkin run trail, marked with orange arrows will be ~15-20 miles of ranchland trails with a little bit of everything, sand, water, mud, grass and dirt.

We have gotten feedback from several folks who put a lot of money into their machines, who want something more challenging, not so much a long trail, but something that only the baddest bikes can handle, more deep water, more mud, well
we will be putting in a "special" BIG BIKE ONLY trial marked with black diamonds that will only be ~5-8 miles long and for the most part totally water, deep water up to the handle bars in several areas and mud. This trail is for those guy/gals who want to put their machines to the test, if you break down or get stuck on this trail you are pretty much on your own, hence the "don't ride alone" and "bring friends with you" because we won't be able to get any heavy equipment out there to get you unstuck.

This black diamond trail is for the BIG BOYS who don't want to ride long sandy trails and overheat, who want to get wet and stay wet, sidexsides are going to find this trail extremely challenging unless they are built up.....I would not recommend any "stock" machines even attempt this trail.

You asked for it......the Pumpkin Run is fixin to put it on ya.

I have herd that there is a lot of people going this year . if you sell out on the poker run tickets fast are you going to sell any more than 50  I ask because some people did not get tickets last year because you sold out so fast  and we wanted to go for the ride but you said no more than 50 so what might you do this year  thks
