Well it's time to start planning our annual Summer Fest and Field Day event.

 

This will be a family event involving three days of camping in the mountains (elevation 7500 feet), an official ARRL Field Day competition, and several trail runs. We will also offer all levels of Amateur Radio license testing on Sunday.

 

There will be a pot luck and Dutch Oven cook-off on Saturday combined with wine and beer tasting.

 

For those who want to explore the area, there are hundreds of miles of off pavement trails, including some of the more challenging, (Miller Jeep Trail).

 

The camp site is accessible by 2WD and all vehicles are welcome.
