Poker runs are a great excuse for drive with the added thrill of a game thrown in. Traditional poker runs take you through a tour of checkpoints where you are handed a playing card. With ours, you draw a virtual card via your car console (or smart phone). We have no entrance fee but we plan a prize for the best hand.
With some help from RoadsideAmerica.com, we've selected over twenty oddities around San Diego County as the checkpoints. You'll plot your course through locations where you will "draw cards" to make up a five card poker hand. After drawing the fifth card, proceed to the restaurant for lunch and to play our "hands". And, it's okay if you don't know how to play Poker. The Group will help!
Poker Run - On the afternoon before, we will e-mail a full set of instructions to those that have registered. This will include a list of the possible checkpoints and specify a final restaurant destination. Plan your trip from home through five of the checkpoints and onto the rally point for lunch. At each checkpoint you will use a web app to "draw" a card - like collecting Pokemon. The app uses your GPS location to tell which checkpoint you are visiting. Your license plate identifies your car.
