Default OSH '07 accommodations dilemna

If you're into ultralights, it's not a bad place to be -- but they
don't call the South Forty "North Fond du Lac" for nothing. You are
so far from ANYTHING -- showers, the warbirds, off-field restaurants
and stores -- that you may as well not even be in OSH, as far as I'm
concerned.

For someone with a spamcan in the north forty, you can't begin to
understand the ambiance of the vintage parking area :-)

You're no farther from the showers than the north 40 parking. There
are several shower trailers in addition to the fixed showers at the
north end.

You are a long way from Friar Tucks, La Seurs and Wal*Mart, but there
are a few temporary off-site operations set up across from the UL area.
Get there at the right time and you are camped in the middle of the
show.

Warbird proximity has never been a draw for me.
