We are there, nice talking to you and the better half today! Can't wait for summer I want a ride in that boat with that kick a$$ motor. Can't wait I reserve the same spot as we had last year on the trailer [smilie=011.gif] [smilie=042.gif] [smilie=265.gif] [smilie=1062.gif] [smilie=1062.gif] [smilie=1062.gif] [smilie=1062.gif] [smilie=1062.gif] [smilie=1056.gif] [smilie=1056.gif]

[wildchild212]

Consider your spot reserved. Are you going to bring the big rig to pull the boat? :mrgreen: This year you will have to stay all weekend and be a part of the confusion. [smilie=banghead.gif] [smilie=smilie_tischkante.gif] And then after all is done. [smilie=1062.gif] [smilie=alc] [smilie=rocker] [smilie=dancing.gif]

Talk to the infamous ASH. He had his Kenworth rigged to pull the 38. Special. Just add a lil hitch to it. [smilie=071.gif] If anything, do it for the sole reason that you would look friggin awesome pulling your Fountain down the road with your Big Rig.

[Thirsty Turtle]

We'll be there! [smilie=071.gif]

80 miles of Poker Runnin' is a GREAT day on the water!

[Satisfied]

Hey Ash do you get any hassle from the DOT for pulling your boat? That is one of my big questions, since this is my income, don't want to screw this up :roll:
Does your insurance cover the boat under collision or is it dobtail insurance that this falls under? thanks

[Caincando1]

I'm gonna hold you to that. [smilie=265.gif] [smilie=071.gif] No worries, I've been in contact with a booking agent out of the cities. He is an agent for about a dozen bands. Most of them are well know local rock bands. I've even seen a few of them in person, and trust me they ROCK! [smilie=rocker]

[mnfastboat]

Cain, book up Austin Healy

Now that would be a great Sourthern Rocken good time!

[pier pressure]

Based on the amount of traffic I'm getting on the boat it appears that the Mrs. and I will be in [smilie=071.gif]

I'm looking forward to Liquid Jungle this year as well. If I think I can hang with the big dogs without getting swamped, maybe I'll even enter. Otherwise I'll just be buzzing around watching.

Last year myself, my better half and a few other couples were on the river with our Glastron and a Fun 'N The Sun houseboat (highly recommended by the way) that weekdend and were caught by surprise by the Jungle run. It was a pretty cool sight to be caught off guard with.

Since everyone loves pictures, here's a few from last year. I know, I know, this is not last year's thread but I'm going to post them anyway...

Us putting in for the weekend. This dock look familiar to anyone?

[cvx16]

Our view of the poker run at the south end of Lake Pepin.

[cvx16]

No, this is not the houseboat we rented. We found it quite funny though...

[cvx16]

Something I learned that weekend. Easy to pull-start a 115 horse outboard when it's hot. Not so easy when it's cold.

[Caincando1]

Great pics CVX keep them coming.

[Thirsty Turtle]

There were two many jackets and sweatshirts last year. We're due for some hot n' humid jungle weather!

We usually put in at Wabasha or Lake City and buzz around those parts.

You name is reserved on the pull out couch in our camper. Nipples is in charge of the weather this year so we will have the A/C cranked in the camper instead of the heat.

[Caincando1]

Just in case anyone was wondering where all the money goes? Well here is your answer. Way to go everyone!

Sorry for the poor quality I had to blow it up from a small picture.

[bajasst]

Is there a web site or brochure on the poker run. Looking for somemore info.

Thanks
Tim

[Northern Baja]

[smilie=071.gif]

Sounds Great to me. So Mark have you done the shakedown on the new motor yet?

Whats it going to be like getting in and out with the water level down? Didn't the DNR decide to drop the water a foot in your pond?

[Caincando1]

This is the best web site to get info on the Liquid Jungle Poker run. All the details will be posted when they become available. In the mean time if you have any questions feel free to ask.

[Caincando1]

[smilie=071.gif]

Umm errr ahhh.... lets just way the motor ran flawlessly and he is already seeing 83 on the GPS. But it doesn't look like he will be taking it on the rat run.

Blower motor-1
Bravo one-0





Whats it going to be like getting in and out with the water level down? Didn't the DNR decide to drop the water a foot in your pond?


This will be a long answer because I want everyone to understand why the draw down should not affect the poker run. Now from what I've been told by people that know allot more about this than me. Pool 5 will be dropped 18inches in June. Now we have to understand that the pool isn't level and the water level is actually lower at the bottom end than the top end. When the water leaves the top dam it stays pretty level and only drops a little bit until it hits the "elbow" of the pool. Once it hits the elbow the water starts to drop at a faster rate than above the "elbow". Great River Harbor is located really close to the "elbow". So the pool will be 18 inches lower at the bottom end(lock5a) but it should only drop about 8 inches in Great River Harbor. And this is below the normal water level. And sometime in the middle of summer the water drops below the normal level on it's own. So all in all Great River Harbor will see little impact from the drawn down. If there are any navigation issues with the chute coming back to GRH, I've been told that it will be dredged.

Most of the run is on pool 4 and when we are in pool 5 we are in the main channel other than going in and out of GRH. So it look like the drown down won't be slowing down the poker run a bit.

When you have the date - let one of us (Mods) know so it gets added to the calendar. I'm trying to make this poker run section top notch for our area.

Peeps - When you add events put the date in the topic and make sure you use the calendar feature so they show up during the summer.

The date is August 20th per the first post. I don't know how to put it in the calender. Can you help me out with that.


Just to clear the air. The date for the poker run this year is the same weekend as it has always been . Aug 20, is the date this year.

[DBOMB]

whats the best way to make sleeping arrangements and how small is to small (for a boat ladies!) to do the poker run with?

[wildchild212]

You can call The Great River Harbor at (608)248-2454 to see if they have any spots, there is also tent camping or slips. be sure to tell them that you are with the poker run. If that does not work give me a call at (507)951-7960 and I will get you some more #s. A 20 footer would be fine.

[performancemary]

Thanks, will do [smilie=trink39]

[pier pressure]

Brian,

How are pre-regestrtion numbers looking? Unfortunately this is my official notice that the powerquest will be bowing out this year :evil: The babies will be 35 weeks at that point and momma does not want to take any chances of them coming out during the run, however that would make one heck of a story!

For the newbies coming this year, have a blast it is a first class run operation, heck you never know, I may show up trying to thumb a ride from someone.

[wildchild212]

Hey Matt. Registrations are about average to other years, none of you guys like to make it easy on us and pre register. [smilie=265.gif] I guess I can understand moms point about the babies. That does not mean that you guys cant come later and have a good time. Does the word sober cab mean anything? [smilie=trink39]

Mark

[pier pressure]

Mark,

Good to hear from you. Summer has been fantastic having Jen as a momma to be never have to worry about Johnny Law [smilie=1062.gif] [smilie=1062.gif] [smilie=1062.gif] More then likely we will show up and be social for the evening.

Well.... we may not be able to make the Liquid Run next month. We found out last night that Ms Sea has to have surgery. She has to have her gall bladder removed. She has an appointment with the surgeon Tuesday and hopefully we will find out when her surgery is to be performed. From what we are hearing there is a recovery time of a week or two with this procedure. We will keep you all posted of what happens and plans.

[Caincando1]

My best to Mrs. Sea. Heres to a speedy recovery so you two can make it. [smilie=trink39]

Please get well soon...it won't be the same without you [smilie=106.gif]

My sister had her gall bladder taked out about 2 weeks ago. She was back at work a couple of days later and a little sore for a while, but she's alright now.

miss croix vs. liquid jungle

I'm curious on which poker run is better.

I know it comes down to personal preference. [smilie=alc]

I heard the jungle was gonnna be a long run?

[wildchild212]

I have done the miss croix twice. And if it ends up on a different date then ours next year, The mrs and I will more then likely go again. As to which one I like better, I might be a little bias there. just read my signature below.

both are great runs.

[cvx16]

I skimmed back through this thread and couldn't find the details of the card stops for this. Help me fill in the blanks here.

1 - GRH
2 - Lake Pepin
3 - Red Wing?
4 - ?
5 - GRH ?

I can't remember for sure what they were last year. Anyway, if I'm going to get in on this thang, I need to plan out my fuel stops ahead of time. My 20 gallon tank will only take me so far at WOT. :mrgreen:

Are you talking long as in miles or long as in time. We run 80 miles and that is about average or shorter than most of the other big name events. For the Upper Mississippi it a long run. We have very little no wake zone or anything else to slow us down. Plus it's a true poker run, so we are boating most of the time, so we cover the miles pretty quikly. We run a pace boat(including pool 5 this year) so there is no confusion or congestion.

[xsnrg]

That last pic is sweet. Guess you don't need to guess where the channel is :mrgreen:

My picture CD and DVD are packed away in a box in the garage(we thought we'd be moved by now). I'll take a look and see if I can find them. If now hopefully MNfastboat can bring his.

Darrel, you can register with me on Saturday. I'll have some registration forms with me.

[mnfastboat]

If I cannot find the cd pictures disk I will just burn a new one becuase I have them on the puter at home

About damn time!

[DoubleBlended]

here's the deal talked with bustag and it looks like he & i are rolling out around noon on friday gotta wash the boats b4 we leave...that being said low water launching in not for me whats the poop I got low water pickups!!!!????

[Caincando1]

.that being said low water launching in not for me whats the poop I got low water pickups!!!!????

We'll look it over this weekend an let you know. I heard they dunked a 50 plus foot House boat trailer the other weekend and retrieved a huge house boat with no problems. Plus the army corp. of engineers dredged the access channel from GRH to the main channl. SOOOO as long as everyone stays where they are supose to we shouldn't have any problems.

[Thirsty Turtle]

DB,

With the low water, the ramp looks pretty ugly, but you still have a good 4'-5' at the outdrive. We have a number of low water pickup boats launching and loading with no problems. BUT......for people not comfortable with the ramp, we have plan to have those people launch at Alma Marina (above Lock 4). You will even be chaparoned up there!

[smilie=657.gif]

[DoubleBlended]

you guys are the bomb...Gary (grand illusion was gonna get us a little help (Advise) but it look like you have already started making plans for the low water boats thanks im'm heading to the post office as we speak!!!

Do we need copies of our insurance on the boat ?? this is my first poker run do to my work schedule???

I was just going to add this, but you beat me to it.

DB I'm not sure if you have to send a copy of just the policy numbers. TT or WCW212 may be able to answer that.

[DoubleBlended]

Well i sent the check and the forms with all the info i will photo coopy it b4 i leave and throwit in with all the registration shit in my boat that should cover it!!!!

Now to the important shit "Approximately how many gallons of BP should i be looking to spin!!!"

[mnfastboat]

Last years run was about 80+ miles

So, think of it that way.
I did not even go through 3/4 tanks and I only hold 50 a side.
So I would think if you 80 gallons you would be a-OK

Ooooh no don't put me in charge of anything important!!! I did just send the guy upstairs an e-mail stating our request for good blending weather!!!

[Sea Esta]

Well we are deffinetly out for this year. I brought Ms Sea home from the hospital last night at 10:00. She was suppose to have a 23 hour stay but it trned into a 1-1/2 stay. Her recovery is going pretty rough. She's been told to take it very easy for the next few weeks. We'll see you up there next year. [smilie=042.gif]

She deserves it more then a boat ride.

Tell her our thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery

We completely understand that she doesn't feel like traveling. But don't count it out completely. See how she is feeling next week. If she is feeling better next week then drag you butts up here. If she isn't up to a rough boat ride, we can find some alternative plans for her. We'll do whatever it take to show you two a good time.

What do you guys have lined up for photographers & videographers?

Just curious....

[wildchild212]

What do you guys have lined up for photographers & videographers?

Just curious....

We have a still photographer and a video man in the helicopter. Also have a few video cameras in boats. You have some ideas cvx?

[cvx16]

Sounds like you guys have it covered.

I'm planning on being out that day and will probably try to get some still shots as the parade flys by. Might even get a buddy on the camcorder. I don't think I want to get in the middle of the run and try to take photos at the same time though. Me, my boat and my camera would probably be safer on shore... or at least off to the side. :mrgreen:

If I get any good shots/footage, I'll be sure and let you guys know.

If you know ahead of time any locations you'd like a photographer on the water... lemme know, maybe I can help out. I'm no pro, but have a decent camera that helps me take some good shots sometimes.....

[Baja Gearhead]

[smilie=071.gif] [smilie=071.gif] [smilie=071.gif] [smilie=071.gif]

We have also fallen victim to Double Blended Poison and loved every minute of it!

I am sure we liked the blender poison more than the boat will!!!

[Baja Gearhead]

...by the way 'Blended,

We snagged a Tailgator Blender for last weekend and did as the natives did in LOTO...throw in the ice, some of this and a little of that...fire 'er up and mix 'till done! Ask caincando--we shared inputs as to what the next batch would be!

[Caincando1]

Our still camera photographer told me he just went and bought a 1 gig card for his camera. I have no idea what that means, but it must be good. :mrgreen: He's PUMPED!!!

[cvx16]

Our still camera photographer told me he just went and bought a 1 gig card for his camera. I have no idea what that means, but it must be good. :mrgreen: He's PUMPED!!!

Hmmmm, hopefully that's not his only card. I've got a 1 GB card for my cam too and was thinking I better go get another one if I'm gonna be out taking pictures of you guys.

I've got a bit of an itchy trigger finger though, so I take a LOT of shots. I'm of the mindset... if I take enough shots, I'm bound to get a couple good ones. :mrgreen:

So, I've been thinking about this and wondering what the best locations are for shooting from the water? I'd like to be set up on the north side of the lock so I can capture the Miami Vice scene leaving the lock. :mrgreen: But I'd also like to be up in Lake Pepin to catch the grand prix start after the card stop. I don't think I can do both though. I'll need to pick one. I'm leaning towards being at the lock, since getting shots of the start in Lake Pepin would probably be pretty hard from the water anyway. I think that's better for the helicopter to get.

If I do the lock scene, then I should be able to trail behind everyone and get up to Lake Pepin in time to get shots of the lead boats on the return. Which leads me to this question.... how long does it take the lead boats to get up to the north lake pepin card stop and back to the south side?

Another thought I had was hanging out on Lake Pepin and offering photo ops to anyone wanting drive by shots of them in their boats. I know I've heard people whining they never get any decent photos of them in their boats (you know who you are [smilie=265.gif] :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: ). Not sure how well that would work out though, since everyone's probably racing to get down to the Pioneer Club......

[cvx16]

By the way, is he a pro or amateur? Happen to know what kind of camera he's going to be shooting with?

Amateur. He's a fellow boater from Park Side named Bart. Cool azz dude. He does it all for fun. I have no idea what his camera is but the photos last year a crystal clear and HUGE. I had to do some MAJOR cropping and reducing to get them on the web sites. They don't look nearly as good after I hacked them. I'm not sure how big each picture file size was but the pictures where 3 times the size of my moniter. :shock: And he took over 100 of them last year. He said he wanted more memory so he could take more. So he said he got a new 1 gig videocard.

As for you, do whatever workd best. How long will it take Garys 50 hustler with trip 1200's to run 20 miles, stop for a card and run 20 miles back. Well take 40 miles divided by whatever he runs. Must be 120-130 at least. Needless to say it won't be long. You will have a lot of time to catch up while we are stopped at the bottom of pepin for the card stop. But I will warn you. The main cannel will be rough if you try and follow all those boats.

Hehehehehehe... yeah, that's pretty quick. :mrgreen:

As for following up behind everyone, yeah, I'll have to be careful. Shouldn't be a problem though if I'm smart about it. Last year I was able to get up to the card stop behind everyone no problem. Which reminds me... when I got up to the card stop last year, people were still at the pontoon grabbing their cards and there were folks taking off already. What up wit dat? Maybe I don't know what a Grand Prix start is, but I thought everyone took off together?

Yep he will be in the chopper.

If they took off they didn't go to far or they came back, cuz we had a PILE of boats for the grand prix start. I wish I had the picture for land that was taken of all the boats lined up. Its pretty amazing.

[Caincando1]

example.

This is a shot Bart took. The original is clear and HUGE. It doesn't look nearly as good after I reduced it. This is less than 1/2 the fleet about a min. after the start.

[Caincando1]

Another one of Barts killer shots!!!

Looks like I'm out for my 3rd annual. [smilie=1381.gif]

Would you have room for another tent if we decided to get sloshed and have a sleep-over? :mrgreen: Of course I'd have to clear that with this guy and both our wives first too. :mrgreen:

[Caincando1]

JUST A REMINDER to anyone who is making a weekend out of the event. Great River Harbor has upgraded their food menu to a offer a wide range of food. Everything from biscuits and gravy or omelets for breakfast to prime rib and shrimp for dinner. In the past they only has a limited menu and the food wasn't nearly as good as it is now.

Also remember that we will be stopping for lunch Sat during the poker run and of course we will be having a hog roast and sweet corn and all that good stuff after the run.

You couldn't even find a seat in someone elses boat? Are the other guys you boat with coming? Its going to be nutz. There is going to be a BUNCH of boats putting in at Parkside Friday and boating down. Bustag, DB, Grand illusion and his buddy with the 47 Outerlimits, as well as the usual park side crowd. Good god this is going to a killer event.

[Sea Esta]

Have a great time everyone! Take lots of pics so we can see what we missed. We'll make sure no surgeries next year!!!!

[mnfastboat]

What is the # of boats registered to date?

BTW, Glenn please take care of the lady, we all need her up and healthy SOON
You both will be missed, but will still be thinking of her speedy recovery

What is the # of boats registered to date?



Good question. Without knowing the number of registrations that come in this week it's hard to say. It is easy to say that we will be full. Our fear is now deciding when to start turning people away. [smilie=106.gif]

Mr and Mrs Sea, you will both be MISSED!!!

[Caincando1]

Also if anyone wants to post comments and pictures from this years run. Lets start a new thread after the run, instead of barrying everything in this one. Thanks.

[Caincando1]

I'm heading out the door right now on my way to the river. So there will be no one around to check the board and email. If anyone needs anything you'll have to get ahold of one of the other board member that has my cell number. I won't post it on the public webstie.

Catch you all on the flip side.

[hp525efi]

Brian, see ya tomorrow!

[mnfastboat]

Iwill post his phone # now since he is gone :)

[DJMALCOM]

Due to unfortunate circumstances out of my control I now have two open seats/w tshirts. Please let me know if you are bringing someone that has not yet paid so that I am not out 60.00.
Thanks,
Jason

Looks like I will be participating after all. [smilie=061.gif]

Deposit check on the Outlaw won't arrive till Sunday. That looks like a green light to me. [smilie=042.gif]

And yeah, I'm empty ... no riders as yet. :shock:


So anyone that needs a ride and knows how to man bumpers, speak up. Unless of course your female ... then you don't have to work. :oops:

It will require a bikini though. [smilie=071.gif]

Winds From the West Northwest at 21 mph....... :roll:

Wish they were from the NORTH

Nice head wind to pack the air under the ole' cat [smilie=071.gif]

No worries. The bluffs will cut that down pretty well if you stick to the Minnesota side of Lake Pepin.

For those that want some air, head to the Wisconsin side, then shoot straight back to the MN side full throttle. Guaranteed to put some wind under yo ass. :mrgreen:

Actually the lake stretches NW-SE, so this will be a real interesting ride. I predict 3-4' rollers across much of the lake. :shock: :shock:

And a second one to match that! [smilie=071.gif]

Only my second year and if things keep going on the track, in three more years it WILL be the biggest and baddest event in the MIDWEST!

Awesome Awesome event, charity and mostly Weather and water conditions were AWESOME too

[Caincando1]

It won't take three years. :mrgreen: We are really making a name for ourselves in the legit poker run world. We picked up some new sponsors for next year already.

[cvx16]

It was a kick-ass event for sure, even to watch from the sidelines!

What were the final stats on the event? How many boats? Biggest? Smallest? Fastest? Slowest? Winning poker hand? other?

[dallas22]

IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME, AT THIS POKER RUN. PEOPLE WHERE JUST GREAT. EVERY ONE WAS SO HELPFUL. I WAS SUPRISED I THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE FASTER BOATS. WE WHERE FIRST IN THE GRAND PRIX. I KNOW ROCKET MAN HAD ENGINE PROBLEMS. BUT EITHER PEOPLE WERENT RUNNING HARD OR I JUST GOT A REALLY GOOD START WE RAN 96 ON GPS THE WHOLE WAY THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT TIME!!

[bustag]

You only ran 96? :shock:

I was holding back on everybody [smilie=rollinglaugh.gif]

It was a GREAT time meeting and hanging with all.

[dallas22]

thank you for doing that for me! i was trying to impress the girl that was with me. it helped to get there first!

[mnfastboat]

Well, you did a great impmression by helping me out and giving me a Tow in [smilie=071.gif]
I really appreciate it :)
And I am sorry I never seen you in the bar, becuase I do owe you a few drinks.

BTW, sicne youo were the first one there can yuo tell me who was second third and fourth?
I have my thoughts on what place I came in but not sure :(

I was only running a measly pathetic slow 85.4 up Pepin :)
You had me smoked all over and then some.
Only good thing is I know I was not the slowest Cat there :mrgreen:

[dallas22]

i know the 26 daytona wa second he actually was a few miles faster than me but he couldnt handle some of the waves so he backed off a couple of times. where i did not have to. but after that, i dont recall. we will be there next year hope to see you guys again

[DoubleBlended]

My blender does 10,000 rpm thats all i really care about!!!

[wildchild212]

Had a great turn out this year. weather was awesome people where even more awesome [smilie=071.gif] [smilie=071.gif] I would like to thank everyone who participated in the event for a great run. I would also like to thank all of our sponsors, and staff who made this thing what it is. It takes a ton of work and everyone did awesome this year. If you helped, Pat yourself on the back for a great job. If you were a patricipant, pat yourself on the back for a safe and great ride.

Hope to see you all next year for #4 :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Thats what I thought in the line up also, I know Lance was in front of me :(

But I was not sure who was between you, the 26 Daytona and Lance.

Kinda awesome that the first 4 boats were all Cats :)
Even if I was the slowest of the 4 :roll:

[Caincando1]

I'm not sure who actually hit the highest speed. I heard Grand Illusion hit 110 or somthing like that but is capable of much more. I know a bunch of those guys where sand bagging because they are going to the shoot out next weekend. But it really isn't about the speed its about the running together and haveing the time of our lives!!!

I do think the slowest boat was MNfastboats paddle ride to the trailer. I was a nice guy and didn't take a picture... [smilie=071.gif]
