WHAT is RUN GIFFORD RUN?

This is a Road Rally/Poker Run that also functions as a trash clean-up throughout the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. For $20 you receive a map with "cache" coordinates where you can find reported sites with garbage in the forest.  The map begins in Randle, WA, and creates a loop taking in the towns of Randle, Packwood, Ashford, Elbe, Mineral, Morton, and Glenoma.  It also takes in many miles of off-road forest travel including the 25 Road toward Mt. St. Helens as well as the 23 Road and 21 Road toward Mt. Adams, and the 52 Road through Skate Creek.

The Run begins at 8:00am at the Check-In coordinates listed above.  You will receive a map, which you can follow in any order.  The goal is to pick up as much garbage as possible along the map route.  Deviations onto other forest roads are acceptable as long as you follow the basic course.

Scattered along the map, will be businesses marked as “Gambler Run Stops”.
-- Each Gambler Run Stop will have a business sticker that you must collect to be able to receive a card for your poker hand and Scrabble word at the end of the Rally.

1 Sticker = 1 Poker Card/Scrabble letter

-- At the end of the Rally, you will create a word with the highest point value possible using the letters that you have acquired. The winner is determined first by Highest Point Value, Longest Word, Highest PV Letter, and then Admin Choice.

The Run will end at 6:00pm at the Return Coordinates listed above.  Awards will take place at 7:00pm.
