I'm here in Minot. Waiting for housing and no room at the Inn on base, so I'm staying at the International Inn. I got four days to entertain myself, don't have to be to work until Wednesday. Anyone know what there is to do in this town?

You are in PRIME gopher hunting territory. Good fishing as well.

Spring and Summer----Good fishing, gopher hunting and thunderstorms.
Fall
Great pheasant, duck and goose hunting. Also good whitetail deer hunting.
Winter
Snowmobiling, Internet surfing and reloading ammo for Spring/Summer/Fall.
Being from Northern Wisconsin, you know what the winter weather can be like, although it is more windy (blizzards) in N. Dakota.
If it would interest you, a tour of Fort Abraham Lincoln near Bismarck was really interesting to me. This is the Calvary fort from which General Custer travel to his demise at the Little Big Horn. Further west of Bismarck is Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park at Medora. (Lots of wildlife)
The north unit of the Theodore Roosevelt Park south of Watford City is a great place to camp out or go for a hike. Confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers has two historic forts -- Fort Union and Fort Buford. There is also the Confluence Interpretive Center near by.
You are a "short" distance from Regina Sasketchewan. Great food.
The INternational Peace Gardens are north of Minot.
Zerodin has a good idea to attend at least one pow wow.
Basically get a good pair of hiking boots and have a great summer. Remember to bring the fishing pole.
If you want to hook up sometime let me know. I can point out a few prairie dog towns that need to be shot on. I am rusty as I have been playing rancher and farmer and not long range sniper lately.
If you really get bore, let me know, we will put you to work.[;)]
How long are you going to be in Minot and what "job" do you have at the base?
