                                                       ARRL Field Day     

The ARRL Field Day, also known as Summer Field Day, will be June 22-23 this year. It is always held on the 4th full weekend of June. We will be gathering at the Snow Bank Group Campground at Cascade State Park, in Cascade. The campground is next to the lake and is a reserved for Snake River Amatuer Radio Club. We invite all hams to join us in a relaxing atmosphere making QRP contacts and enjoying the friendship of fellow hams. Some of us will be going up as early of Thursday, June 20 and staying until Monday, June 24.

                                                         NOTE:

There is construction on Lake Shore Drive and we have to take a different route to the campsite. Here is the letter we received from Cascade State Park:  

  

Lake Cascade campers and day use recreationists: Please be aware that due to road construction on Lake Shore Drive, access to Big Sage, Sage Bluff, and Snowbank campgrounds in June will be detoured to Cabarton Road, located just south of Cascade, Idaho.  

The following is a list of mileages for this detour:

  

Cabarton Road to West Mountain Road 3.2 miles.

  

West Mountain Road to Lakeshore Drive 1.1 miles

  

Lakeshore Drive to Snowbank Group Use 1.4 miles

  

Lakeshore Drive to Big Sage Day Use entrance is 1.8 miles

  

Lakeshore Drive to Big Sage Campground entrance is 2.0 miles

  

Lakeshore Drive to Sage Bluff Campground entrance is 2.2 miles    

  

                                                       Club Picnic  

Our annual club picnic will be on August 10 this year. Since we don't have a regularly scheduled meeting in August, this serves as a meeting as well as a social get-to-gether to visit with friends and other hams. More information will be coming.
