This card advertises a weekend camping trip focused on gay men, organized by Gay City and Boyz in the Woods. It promises "gay exploring and merry-making," arts and play, and homo spirituality. The illustration on the front shows two scantily-clad idealized male figures driving logs down a river.

Gay City, now called Seattle's LGBTQ+ Center, was founded in 1995 by a group of queer activists who wanted to help queer communities in Seattle in the midst of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The Center offers health services and is the largest HIV/STI tester in King County. In addition it maintains the largest LGBTQ+ library in the Pacific Northwest, has a mutual aid program, offers youth mentorship, and organizes events for Seattle's queer communities.
