Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

My in laws have a lake lot up that way, so I'm usually up there quite a few weekends in the summer. Might have to meet up.

Hello, I am not new to overlanding but am new to getting together with OLB members and such. Have been to almost 30 state parks in MN and several places in ND. Would like to get together with others in the state but also am thinking on going south end of Jan, beginning of Feb 2020. Any ideas or experienced interested others?

We did a get together in the summer this year, was a small turn out at a state park south of the cities. I'd love to get something organized again for a meet and greet as it looks like more people in Minnesota are joining the forum. If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears.

I know a guy that owns a brewery in Buffalo, MN that we could probably meet at...

I'm located in Big Lake, MN and am willing to travel a few hours (so anywhere mn, or east side of SD or nd, or even into wi or ia) to get together with group. My work schedule is weird so if we plan it at a minimum of a month or two out would be the best.
Contributor I
I'm currently working weekend shift, but that might be changing in the next month or two, so we'll see what happens...I'd rather travel to central or northern MN instead of going to the cities, but if everyone wants to meet up in the cities I will still go...

You had me at brewery. That might be a good place to meet up.
I'm thinking probably after the beginning of the year. With holidays, hunting, and schedules that might be the best bet for everyone. We can start working of figuring something out now so we can get the word out too.

Im all ears and dont mind taking off or staying at the town if it is quite a distance... Im good with a brew. Also ha.
Member I
I am 45 mins from Alexandria and am up there quite often... Lots of nice places to eat.
Contributor I
I talked to my buddy last night and he'd be glad to host us if we want to meet up in Buffalo sometime...
Member I
I am interested and will try to be flexible with the time, so if you all figure any time good for you andif you like, keep me in the loop.
Member II
Let's start figuring something out for the beginning of the year, yea? I'll post it up on the Facebook group too.
Contributor I
I'm going to assume that by then I'll have changed jobs and will no longer be on weekend shift, so I'll throw January 11th out there just to get the ball rolling...the venue I had in mind is Hayes' Public House in Buffalo, MN and the owner Pugs Hayes is happy to have us come drink his beer...I can't promise anything, but I think it might be possible to get a tour as well...there are plenty of local places that deliver food to the pub (some weird law prevents them from serving food, so local businesses have offered to deliver their food to his pub, which is an amazing thing that they all help each other out)...here's the link to his website Hayes' Public House

That would be awesome! If any of you guys want to come Austin, MN (SPAM Town USA) and do a meet up, I am totally game. I also have a pretty good set up garage with tools if any of you guys should ever need help if you ever drive past this direction.

With everyone inviting people to their town, it looks to me like we have multiple trips to plan for next year!!!
