Opeongo Mountain Resort's
Poker Hike 2010
It is a game where you use your feet to earn a good hand. Hiking over 9 km of trails you pick up 7 chits at 7 checkpoints, each worth a card dealt in a game of 7 card, no-peak poker. The best hand wins the bucks. Who says card playing is not an athletic sport?
The Hike
|
|
1/2 way through the hike you come to an aid station where cool drinks, first aid and a re-coating of bug juice are available. It is a good spot to check your map to be sure you are on the right trail.
The Kick-A-Poo Joy Juice (carbonated fruit punch) is always a hit with the young hikers and those with a need of an energy hit.
Sometime this strange drink makes people do strange things!

|
Along the way there are some scenic overlooks to visit.

|
|
After you climb up to the top you get to go down to Checkpoint 7 and the last stop on the hike.

The Game
|
|
Once everybody is back, accounted for and rested it is time to see who has the luck to go with their endurance.
|
|
Cards are dealt and winners move on until only two are left for a showdown to win the grand prize.
However, everybody wins something and everyone has a good time stretching their legs and seeing another side to Opeongo Mountain Resort.
