1st Annual Dumont Poker Run

1st Annual Dumont Dunes Poker Run

5 checkpoint locations to draw your poker card

Note: these are a rough idea of where they will be. Exact locations will be given out at registration.

1) at the registration booth
2) out near the north/ north east end of the dunes near the old railroad berm
3) North Pole
4) South end of the dunes near south pole overlooking the Salt Creek
5) Near the ranger station or Sperry Wash

Come on out and join the rest of the Dumont community for the 1st Annual Dumont Dunes Poker Run! It will be held on Saturday, Nov 8th at Dumont Dunes.

The poker run's main objectives are...

1) to raise awareness about certain Dumont issues and explain the importance of some critical areas along our dune boundaries (primarily the fringe toed lizard issue)

2) have some fun in the sand!

3) any proceeds go directly to Friends of Dumont Dunes organization.

The poker run is open to all off-road vehicles and is for anyone who would like to participate! Just an FYI: this is not a race.

Entry Fees...

$20.00 for the first hand
$10.00 for each additional one per person

5 hands for $50.00

Registration will begin at 9AM across from bathroom 10 and the camp host area.
Sign up and you will be given your first poker card.
Then you will have until 2:00 PM to visit the four other checkpoints. At each additional checkpoint, you will draw your next card and have the opportunity to listen highlights about that particular area. You may ask any questions or voice any concerns at that point as well. There will be BLM staff as well as other well versed personnel at each checkpoint explaining valuable information about our dunes. You may visit the checkpoints in any order you choose.
After you have collected all 5 cards, you will return to the signup/ event area and we'll see what you have for a poker hand. The top 3 hands win. There will be cash prizes for the winners.

Note: the map to the right is only to show where to go to sign up at the registration booth. Checkpoint locations are shown above.

This is going to be a really fun event and we look forward to seeing you all there!
