Thursday June 6th - Lake George, NY – poker run – 101 miles and evening cruise on Lake George

The official start of the poker run was 09:30, and not a minute earlier, as we were constantly reminded by the official in charge of registration. So as entrants arrived early, they were all reminded of this. Kind of an interesting person, must have been a drill sergeant in the army. So at the designated time, we all lined up, were given the poker run directions, our poker hand punch card, and off we went. The first stops were easy, the last three not so as we had to be careful of road changes. Still we made it, revealing a lousy poker hand, and rode back to the village.

Yamaha Lake George cruise:

For the evening it was a Yamaha sponsored boat cruise on Lake George. This lasted about 2 hours, a buffet (pretty good), an oldish rock group (very good), and a cruise up and back on the lake. The scenery was mainly passing large, and not so large, summer residences, kind of like a scaled down version of the Ontario Muskokas. It was a dry evening though, so it was a worthwhile experience to see the lake up close. As we walked back to the motel, it started to rain, as per the weather forecast, and gave a foretaste  of tomorrow’s wet ride.
