What Is A GeoPoker Run?
A GeoPoker Run is where 7 temporary caches
have been hidden specifically for this event. Each
containing an envelope of tickets.
The object of this GeoPoker Run is to
collect all seven tickets. When you have completed the run, you
will be able to exchanged each ticket for a random draw from a deck
of cards. The best hand wins the first choice of prizes
and additional prizes will be awarded in a descending order and
according to your poker hand.
The Event:
The location of the event will be at the Jarstad Park
in the Gorst near Bremerton (See above
coordinates). There is plenty of available parking
along the paved access road into the park. The GeoPoker Run
will start at 12:00pm till 3:00pm. Promptly at 3:15pm,
prizes will be awarded.
The picnic area is covered and has lots of tables,
although if you'd like to sit in the grassy area, you'll want to
bring your own lawn chairs or blankets. Running water
and bathroom facilities are available. Also, there will
be a travel bug exchange site.
