Hunter Poker Run 2008

So for the past few years, Hunter (a major name in the landscaping business), has sponsored what is called the Hunter Poker Run. A bunch of people from the landscaping/sprinkler/irrgation business all get together for that weekend up in the beautiful mountains near Strawberry Reservoir to go camping and four-wheeling. Everyone has the option to come up whenever they want throughout the weekend, but on Saturday is the big Poker Run. There's no gambling involved! Everyone goes out riding on their four-wheelers on a trail that has been carefully staked out by the Hunter Reps previously. The ride is absolutely GORGEOUS itself! Along the way, there are stops and you get a poker card, ice cream, water, chat and rest for a few minutes, etc. At the end, after everyone has come back to camp there are prizes. Almost everyone comes away with something!

Anyway, Matt and I went last year and had SO MUCH FUN that we had to go again this year!! Again, it was tons of fun! We went up early on Friday and rode and camped overnight. Then on Saturday we rode the Poker Run with everyone. We camped overnight again and then came home on Sunday morning.

Here's a picture of the 'beast' we were riding! It's a 2-seater and is SO COMFORTABLE!! Since we don't have our own, we rented it for the weekend. These pictures were taken after we had come back from the Poker Run all day on Saturday.

Here are some pictures of our campsite.

What a sexy man!!

Do you ever have those times when you feel like you've got dirt in every crack and crevice in your body? This was one of those times! But it was so worth it! I was quite excited to get home to my shower, though. Aren't I beautiful!! :) NOT!

Thank you Alan & Gena...........and for everyone else involved with Hunter.........for making it such an enjoyable weekend!!
