[RC] poker ride - MFehrs

We've incorporated poker rides at a couple of rides - they work well for  
loops to make sure people follow the whole course.  Use 4 different decks  so 
they can't take multiple cards at one stop.  Put the cards at the half  way 
part 
of the loop.  They get one more card when they finish and the  highest hand 
wins a prize.  It adds an element of fun to the ride but not  everyone 
appreciates having to stop his horse and take a card.
As far as scavenger hunts, check out CMO's -  Competitive Mounted 
Orienteering, where you get clues and with compasses and  teams of 2 to 6 you 
find hidden 
paper plates with something written on  them.  You write down what you find 
and go on to the next target. Most  targets in the fastest time wins. Think the 
website is NACMO.org.    Maureen
