The badlands is where Midwest Commander took place It looks ok but not big enough or hard enough to entertain us all I think. There are parks in the middle I've read about them and seen some on tv now we just have to find them. Ideally because of the distance being traveled by some, amenities should be on the list as well as enough room for campers and RV's. If the middle will bring more out I'm down but I'm willing to consider any location if it's worth the drive. I also agree that 2012 would be the earliest to pull this off not sure but might have to be 2013. Maybe we can find a place most of us have never been to we would need at least one member thats been there its easier that way.
