yeah, see what michael and the others think and maybe have a thing under Overland Bound Members or Travel and Events where people can see that this actually exists and maybe just have a thread for participants to list a brief description of what they offer and where they are located. interested people can DM the person with the property and go from there.
if this were to take off to some degree, then i guess it would be possible to use the Map feature on here that could identify members offering a place to stay so people could see that on a map and plan routes that would utilize that. (more work for the OB staff, of course!
)some members might have an actual place to share and some might be able to just offer a driveway and extension cord for the night...but i figure anything that promotes more travel and safe travel is a good thing
this would really be helpful east of colorado where pretty much everything is private property. i tried a little stealth camping in texass and it wasnt easy. you could be parked on a desolate dirt road 50 miles from the nearest house and as soon as you doze off, someone will come bitching that you cant be there. times like that, even just having a member offer his driveway for the night would mean a peaceful sleep knowing you wont be getting hassled...
