tomslusher: Sorry, the final went missing so I am archiving this one. It was a nice run even though it wasn't all that busy. I hope everyone who tried this one enjoyed the tour of LeSueur County. Thanks to everyone for completing, starting, attempting or even looking at this one.

Geocache Description:

All 7 multi-caches are in LeSueur County, Minnesota. All answers needed to complete the final coordinates can be gotten sitting in your car. That part is easy, figuring it out could make grown men cry. Or it may be easy.

LeSueur County Poker Run

How many of you remember the Poker Runs of years gone by?  Most required stops at local drinking establishments.  While I am not against that type of activity, I thought it would be fun to make a geocache into a Poker Run.  Although I am not requiring any stops at drinking establishments, I certainly would suggest that you visit some of the fine examples right here in LeSueur County while completing this cache or as a celebration when you find the final cache. 

At the above listed coordinates, you should find a camo painted one gallon plastic jug with at least 20 small map of LeSueur County on one side.  The other side of the sheet contains the list of basic rules (also listed below), the coordinates and general areas for the 7 multi-virtual-caches (all in LeSueur County, Minnesota and all are virtual) as well as a description of what you are looking for and an answer sheet for you to fill out as you play.

Technically, you don't have to visit all 7 of the multi-caches to get the answer to the final coordinates but I encourage you to do so as it helps you double check you answers (each of your 10 answers will be found twice if you visit all 7) and give you a chance to see more of LeSueur County and a chance at a better poker hand.  Once you visit at least 5 of the multi-caches (or all 7 if you so choose), you will have the answers to the final coordinates and there you will find a camo painted coffee can filled with not only goodies and Travel Bugs and such, you will also find a deck of card to deal yourself and any others with you a Stud Poker hand.  Shuffle the cards good and deal yourself as many cards as multi-caches you visited.  With those cards take the best 5 card poker hand you can make.  Post your results in the log as well as this web site.   I will post the current winning hand as well as the cacher who had that hand on this web site.  So that and a buck will get you a cup of coffee.

If you have any questions about this cache, please feel free to contact me through my profile above.

After I placed the cache, I dealt myself 7 cards to start out the game.

C=Clubs, D=Diamonds, S=Spades & H=Hearts

Current winning hand: AD AH AS 9C 10S = Three of a Kind
Current winning cacher: Ramsey63

 

Rules for Poker Run Cache

  1. You must visit at least 5 of the 7 Multi-cache sites to play (technically you can get the final coordinates at only 4 but you still must visit at least 5 sites)
  2. Use the map to get a general idea of multi-cache locations.  All are in LeSueur County
  3. Shuffle the cards good.  If you visit more than 5 multi-caches you can deal yourself more cards.  For example, if you visit all 7 deal yourself 7 cards and play the 5 best.   Play your 5 best cards to make the best poker hand
  4. Standard poker rules apply, No wild cards
  5. List your best hand in the log as well as the web site

 I gotta thank Bobcatw98for the help with setting this up.  Without his proofreading and testing this would have been a mess.  Thanks Bobcat!!
