Hello Rocky Mountain Region. I am currently living in the Minot, ND area and although I havn't got to do much overlanding we have managed to tske our camper to a few of the local state parks that i have tried to add to the map page. Does anyone know of any good overlanding or campsites to visit before it cools down for the winter or after it warms up in the spring? The following is just a pic for attention. Located at Mystical Horizons in the Turtle Mountains in North Dakota.

Was stationed up there 2008-2010; took my daughter camping at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Medora. Spent a couple of beautiful nights there, had wild horses grazing behind our tent in the morning. On my bucket list to visit again.

That has definitely been a goal of ours. Hopefully this winter we can at least take a day trip over towards Medora. If not we have set a goal to hut up Theodoore Roosevelt when it warms up enough.

I live in minot and haved camped a lot this year. One place I enjoyed the most was Big horn national forest WY. Our camp site was at 10000 ft . Night sky had most stars I have ever seen. If you get change I think it is a must see for camping destination.

OVERLAND BOUND TALKING POINTS
These are concepts that Directors and their Representatives should use to promote Overland Bound, OLB meetups, and good overlanding etiquette.



Adventure, exploration and conquering the unknown is the key to living, and not just being alive. It’s in our DNA. It’s who we are.

Promote the OLB mission of Outfit and Explore. Meet-ups and trail runs are a large component of this by giving members a way to do both. Encourage meetup organizers to consider this when organizing their gatherings.

Be prepared. Be safe. Be responsible.

Understand the overt and nuanced meaning of our Core Principles

Encourage meetup organizers to consider inclusion of a training/education component to some of their meetings. This is a great way for more experienced members to share what they know with members new to overlanding. Meet-up organizers can also invite guest speakers. Ambassadors/assistants can help identify regional training that might be needed or requested.

Encourage family participation in activities.

Promote the use of comms in this order:
