Is the poker run up river or down river. Looks like it could be a good time.

We leave Peace River west peace boat launch around noon, that's registration and the first card stop, head down river to 2 stops, the second being my grandpas log cabin about 25 miles down. Then turn around, come up through town to stop #4 where the Smoky meets the Peace, have a bull**** break and then head up the peace to stop #5 at the strong creek campground for dinner and prizes. Camping at strong creek is free all weekend and there's a cook house and playground for the kids. You could do the run in a fiberglass prop boat if you can read water, I've done it. Great day on the water, great people to meet, and the door prizes are always good, usually every hand gets a prize. Plus kids have their own prizes.

Location: Peace River
Departing from: Lower West Peace Launch
Departing Time: 12 noon
