Summer Gathering
September 5-7, 2025
28th Annual Summer Gathering
This year we're going back to basics and we're going to focus on modern APRS setup and operation, as well as the important differences between home and mobile settings.
The issue of frequency congestion continues to become more and more important, so keeping yourself up to date with the moden enviroment is an important way to be a good RF neighbor!
We're going free-form again this year and the discussion is going to be driven by who shows up! Come prepared with your questions and ideas!

Directions to the Event
Take Exit 34 off of I-90. At the bottom of the offramp turn left if coming from Seattle, or right if coming from Spokane.
Go ½ mile to SE Middle Fork Rd. and turn Right. (County sign says 'Valley Camp 2.2 miles')
When you come to the "Y" in the road you can take either direction, you'll find us where the roads come back together.
If you take the left path: Follow that road until you get to the stop sign. We are straight ahead.
This path may be easier for RV's and trailers, however it does have some additional twists and turns and is a two-way road.
If you take the right path: Follow the road until the roads come back together, and make a right turn into camp.
Please note: While this is technically a one-way road many people are unfortunately disobeying the signs, so please be careful of the possibility of oncoming traffic!
