What is a poker run?
I think Wiki describes it well, however someone needs to get in there and add "airplanes" to their list of other activities that participate in it.

Hi, Doc, it's in June at the LLT fly in in Savannah, Tennessee ... I signed up to go and they are having a poker run... I told em I don't know what that is but I'm fixin to find out and whatever it is I'm doing it because I'm not gonna fly 830 NM and not do whatever is happening!
awesome, have fun Jeanie! How many stops is 830nm?
A tip I found useful is to proceed opposite direction of the majority of participants. For some reason most planes all fly the same direction. Then the race to be first at landing. Everyone gets bunched up. Factor in slowing for spacing and long downwinds.
The 3 poker runs I have flown all feature a deadline which means you have to arrive back at the originating field or you are DQ'd.
You might consider finding a passenger. A kid and parent would be fun. But be careful to screen for whiney people. They can ruin a good time.
Aw shucks! I thought it was gonna be in the Big Bend country.
Is there going to be a poker run at Gastons this year?
