Both events propose staging out of the Fernley 95A Speedway and conducting single day events. OHV Poker Runs use a combination of flagged routes and GPS guidance to direct event participants to stops along the route where playing cards are passed out until participants have a full hand of five playing cards. It is anticipated that the event would occur annually on Veterans Day weekend. 
KWS Entertainments event, Dust in the Desert Poker Run, would utilize a combined course of approximately twenty-six miles of established/existing dirt roads and trails to develop the course, of which, six miles would be located on public lands managed by the BLM and twenty miles would be located on other lands. Two stops utilizing portable shade structures and tables at manned checkpoints will be stationed along the course; not on lands managed by the BLM. This event is not a timed event, nor is it considered a race and as such participants speed on the course will reflect the appropriate speed limit put in place by county ordinances. The event has been capped at 300 vehicles. Up to 20 support personnel will be manning the poker tables, working the staging area and sweeping the course for lost, injur
