Letterboxing Poker Run
Board: State: California

I just got an idea for an event. A Letterboxing poker run! (Disclaimer: No gambling, yaddah yaddah). For those not familiar with a poker run, you travel to 5 places. Collect a playing car in a sealed envelope at each location. At the end. The envelopes are torn open and your ‘hand’ is revealed. Best and worst hands win a prize! I have no idea where yet, somewhere btw Ukiah and Davis and Hayward. Sometime later this Summer.I will need volunteers for some carves!

Anybody interested?

Sounds good to us! Maybe Santa Cruz?

Either way I’ll be happy to help with carving a stamp.

Depends on some health issues, but we'd be in if possible and I can carve again

Thanks for the carving offers! I’ll get back to you.

Although I would love to have it around Santa Cruz, I need to have it somewhere more easily accessible to me as I will be going several times to get it all set up. Most likely it will be a scenic drive in Marin/Sonoma counties. We will have a potluck to follow. Details to come!

LOVE the concept! We have a previous obligation the morning of 7/28 but can race over there afterward.

~jaw drops~ Please please please make it an annual event, because that sounds fabulously fun, and I would totally try to come from Massachusetts if possible for something new like that! It'd be a perfect "excuse" to add in some National Parks around there! ... but I will be in Acadia this year on that date, so pretty please?

And the cards will be actual stamps or the place will have a stamp. Or there will be clues to where we get the "cards" and a stamp? or the cards are where you stamp an image? Or the cards are just regular playing cards and you have to find the stamp at the place to get a card?

I’m finally back to working on this. I have written to the boxers who have contacted me about carving, but I still need a few more carves. Any volunteers? I need them by July 21 and I have specific stamps I need.

Looks like the event will be in Sonoma and maybe part of Marin County. A scenic drive guaranteed! Afterwards, we will determine the best and worst hands, for prizes. Potluck to follow.

New addition to the event, a Letterboxing Swap Meet! Bring those extra logbooks or carving materials to swap!

So, I just realized the date for your event. My husband is going to be down in that area for Sonoma Drag Racing event. I think they expect that area to be pretty packed with people coming and going to it. Just a heads up.
