Meets once annually at Robber's Cave State Park in Oklahoma (not Missouri, at the Wild Nights convention organized by the same group) and isn't primarily an OSM group, but is interested in mapping POIs of interest to attendees and encourages the use of OSM-based apps for offline navigation (as cellphone service is spotty at best in the region, making online options difficult to use, and as observed in previous years, Google Maps offline mode does not work as expected or at all); and many apps provide some nice-to-haves in an area riddled with abrupt speed limit changes and nasty enforcement like speed warnings) and uses OSM maps in the conbooks (thanks to Mapbox making it easy to make a themed rendering). I'm the primary contact for the cartography efforts.
