Oshkosh 2007

[Stephen Birtles]

There seems to be interest in a get together at Oshkosh 2007 for the
airshow
If you are interested let me know
I need your name phone address and whether you are an EAA Member
tentatively staying at Camp Scholler which is directly adjacent to the
airfield
You have to be an EAA Member to stay in this primitive campsite (no
Hookups but there is water and dumps nearby)
only stuff provided are toilets and showers and a 20x 30 site
One coach and one vehicle per site
This years prices are 40.00-60.00 for single m,embership
50.00-70.00 for family memebership plus 18.00 per night camp fees
If we have a minimum of 20 coaches we will have a reserved area with
part in the pet area so people with pets and those with out will park
together.
Firm Dates will announced later but this year runs from july 24-30
One of the caveats is that we all have top assemble beforehand and
arrive at the camp together
If already not amember of the EAA make sure you time your membership
so it does not expire before the airshow next year
If interested drop me a line at
cape0001 at gmail.com

FYI There is also the option of staying in full generator section which means
you can run it night and day if you want to. Other sections have restrictions
on generator hours which are enforced. I have been many times and give it the
highest recommendation; be sure to go to the float plane base.

[Stephen Birtles]

I am starting to work on arrangements for Oshkosh 2007
What I would like to know is what time frame would everyone one like
the whole 10 days first half, second half,middle for the stay at the park
Bearing in mind that this is dry camping. There are dump and fresh
water facilities.
A number of attendees will have pets so at least day generator will be
needed
Looking at the maps if we arrive at the begining and at roughly the
same time it would be possible to span 24 genny,pet area, day Genny
and no genny.
A possiblility that we may be able to meet at Mike Hohnstein's and
proceed as a flock to Oshkosh approx 1 hour away (30 minutes for Randy
2 hours for me)
Also a reminder that at least one person in each coach must be member
of the EAA http://www.airventure.org/2007/news/061026_2007.html

Dates for Oshkosh July 23-29 2007

Hi Stephen,

I'd be interested in attending from Wednesday the 25th thru Sunday
the 29th (second half of the show) For most of us, boondocking 5 days
is not too much of a problem. I also have a portable 55 gallon tank
that goes in the toad and a 1 HP transfer pump for fresh water if any
one needs a "refill" after a few days. I'm assuming that there are
water outlets around the parking area.

What about the condition of the soil? Are we going to have problems
sinking in if it rains?

Shane I have no idea about the condition of the dirt. The campground
is called the Scholler Farm so that should give you some idea
I hope it doesn't rain after all it is an airshow

Being the new kid on the block, and only been involved with this forum, a short
while, I had no clue there are a group of ppl, that attend Oshkosh, for the Air
Fest. I have been a PPL, for 10 years now.With this being my first camper, I
have never camped there, I have either flown, or driven in my car. I stay in
Fondulac. However, once I finish getting this ole gal checked out, I plan on
wandering in my lodge, for the better part of this year, so maybe I'll see some
of you out there. I fly 152s,172s ,PA200, some areobatics, (Super Decathalon)
Been to Sun and Fun, too, We have a club here( KFIT), that has about 100 members
that meet once a month.

Here's a take on RV vs Camping, from a camper's perspective, that happened to
appear today:
