For anyone that has actually slept in a tent at OSH, does it cool off
enough at night to sleep comfortably?


Last year was PERFECT (Wed-Sun) ...there was a Saturday late night storm.
Many people noted the total lack of mosquitoes for the week - the blood
sucking kind. Sleeping weather was very good.

I showered at night - no lines, cools you down, cleans you up from the day's
sun screen and sweat ...sleep like a baby. Trick I found works good for me
when it's hot and muggy, I use a bath towel on my pillow - for some reason I
sweat less that way.

In 2003 I stayed in the dorms (Thur-Sun). Prior to my arrival, the grounds
were hit hard by a few storms, some with straight line winds. Thursday
evening the N40 was 1/3 full. Had another storm roll through my first night
in the dorm - LOUD. By Friday evening the N40 was a almost empty. Broken
tents were piled 6-feet deep next to the dumpsters!! People pitched their
broken tent's, so to speak, and flew home.

Mosquitoes were light in 2003. Temps - not hot.

There was an OSH a few years ago that generated some I Survived Oshkosh _ _
_ _ t-shirts. Don't recall the year?
