The Northwest Regional Campout will be held this year at the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area in Washington on August 8-10. The campout is hosted this year by the Inland NW RPCVs. We will be camping at the Gifford Group Camp an hour north of Davenport, WA on Highway 25 (map). It's right on the Columbia River, east side. Across the river via free ferry boat is Inchelium. You can go east on I-90 and then choose an exit to drive north to Davenport or you can take the other scenic route on Highway 2 to Davenport.

Buy supplies at Safeway in Davenport and get gas too. Very rural after that. There's Two Rivers Casino half way to the campsite. It's where the Spokane River meets the Columbia and a nice spot to stop. On the south side of the Spokane River is national park stuff--all along the river is national rec area--like historical sorts of things and a campground. Cross the bridge north to the casino for rest rooms and free coffee and another campground. Then further up Hiway 25 you can stop in Hunters for minor things, small place. Another 20 miles to Gifford campsite.

Walk for the Gold is a non-competitive event that brings together participants of all ages from throughout the community to raise funds for Special Olympics Oregon-Eugene/Springfield.

Walkers may walk individually or in a sponsored group. For more information or to sign up, contact info@westcascadepca.org or leave a message at (541) 607-4140, and we'll get back to you. You can also download this brochure to register.
