Build #1766- I drove from NE corner of Indiana to Belgrade for Install. Guys at GFC were gracious enough to squeeze me in a day early when I stopped by on a Saturday to verify Sunday appointment. Thanks! Took a dirt nap and headed to Glacier National Park area, actually ended up in Flat Head National Forest and Boondocked for 5 days 50 miles into National Forest near Hungry Horse, MT. On one 120 mile day trip hit Werner Peak after spending 2 hours creeping up shelf roads in 4lo. GFC stayed intact and didn’t waiver in mounting system over extreme terrain. Well worth the wait!

Hello fellow hoosier - nice looking V2 camper, I did a similar trip last year. I can’t wait to get back out west. Enjoy your time!

I’m in Ohio. We spend time in Montana and North Carolina each year. How did you go about finding those beautiful spots to camp? Can you always camp in your gofast on national forest land so long as you are off the road?
Hungry Horse Resivior has many dispersed camping locations in Montana. Always stayed in GFC at no fee. Glacier is surrounded by great national forest routes for overlanding. I stopped at a Ranger station outside of Whitefish Montana and got a map of all dispersed camping in the area. I took advice from an old friend who worked in the gas fields in the 80’s and introduced me to overlanding in the western US, before it was a theme word. Avoid the Indian reservations at all cost. If you are forced to drive through, don’t stop. Get lost in Flathead National Forest and avoid the tourist trap of Glacier National Park. If you have a passport the Canadian Rocky Mountains 
aren’t far. I need to run that route again, just can’t force myself to get a passport. Too much stateside to explore. 40 miles into Hungry Horse Resivoir and didn’t see a soul for days while having water to swim in 20 feet from my camp. In my opinion, more wild than Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Bucket list type of trip for a flat lander!
