Camp Scholler without a car?

Unfortunately I don't have that option because I am flying commercial
into Appleton. The problem is I am arriving at 7:30pm, and the last bus
to OSH is at 6:00pm. So I will have to catch a taxi (expensive) or look
for someone to share a ride with. Do you know of any ride share boards?

I encourage you not to mess with all that. Just fly into OSH and camp in
the North 40 with the rest of us nut-cases!

The arrival procedure is simplicity itself once you have read (and
understood) the NOTAM. Don't be intimidated by it -- over 12,000 pilots
of all skills and experience do it every July -- you can too.

Waking up in the morning next to your airplane, with 11,999 of your closest
friends stretched to the horizon in all directions, is truly an experience.
And to avoid the daily hassle of catching a shuttle bus is worth its weight
in gold.

What dates are you arriving/departing?
Andrew, what city are you leaving from?

Appleton has commercial service now? Wow, I guess things have changed
since I last flew in there ten years ago...

Hope to catch you at OSH.

Appleton actually has realatively good service these days, and they've
spruced up the terminal. I've used it on occasion visiting my parents
in Neenah. OSH has none to speak of now, I think those Beech 1900's
stopped coming a few years ago (but I may be wrong).

Appleton has had commercial service for a decade or so. Oshkosh lost
their few United Express flights they had. You can get into Appleton
on Delta, NW, or Continental (well, their commuter affiliates at least).

There's a ride share board on the EAA web site. So far, I've gotten no action
from my ad on it (wanting a ride).

One thing you might check into. Does Hertz, Avis, or any other major company
rent cars at both Appleton and Osh? It may be cost-effective to rent a car one
way. If you try to do this, you will have to call the local number of the office
from which you wish to rent. The national operators will simply tell you they
don't have cars. I did this when I picked up my Maule; flew commercial into
Atlanta, rented a car, and turned it in at Columbus (closest office to Moultrie).

I'm with Jay on that. I flew into Appleton and took the bus one time when I
miscalculated my arrival time and got to OSH just as the airport was closing for
the air show. ATC at Appleton was the worst, FBO was about the same level, gas
prices outrageous, bus schedule erratic, and schlepping my gear around after
getting off the bus was a pain. Just fly into OSH.

I am arriving Friday 29th at 7:30pm into Appleton. Coming from
Cincinnati.

Actually, there appears to be lots of commercial service into Appleton.
It must be an Oshkosh special. From Cincinnati, I can fly non-stop on
Delta, for only $230 return fare. They also have lots of flights into
Green Bay.
