6) How about some camping at Oshkosh tips or checklists.
I've got the notam.


North 40 or you are likely eligible for the showplane category.

7) Can I ship stuff to Osh for use there, so I dont have to
carry it? Where do I ship it to?


Of course! IIRC either FedEx or UPS has a temp office on the
grounds to ship stuff out! As for the incoming, someone around
here know the answer to that?

8) I'm an EAA member, does my wife need to join?


Don't think so. Is WI a community-property state? (*chortle*) but
I'm not sure she gets the discount on admittance to the show grounds
itself. Someone know the answer?

9) Is there a store (Walmart etc. for food, batteries,
gear?) Is it likely I can buy/borrow a hammer there to bang
in the tiedowns. Is there any chance it will be cold -
we're thinking of some sheets and a light cover rather than
sleeping bags - the former are lighter.


Yes, but not easy walking distance anymore (it moved).
Yup.
Yup. Alternates between hot & humid and chilling & storming rain.
Ship the sleeping bags. Or buy the cheap junk at Walmart and
donate it to a local charity before you leave.

10) We want to shoot photos, but we're digital. Any
suggestions on getting our memory stick photos onto CDs?
I'm hoping some kind soul will have a laptop and burner,
then let us read the cards via USB and we'll bring the CD's.


Kinko's (not in walking distance, sorry) has all this. The
problem is power. There's not much installed on the grounds.
But with how-many-thousands-of-people there will be equipment,
just a case of trying to find it.

Mike, email me off-list and I'll provide more solutions.
