The tricky part at OSH is trying to
dry out a sleeping bag between storms.

The trick at OSH is to not let that sleeping bag get wet in the first
place.g

Really, with a queen sized air bed, it isn't that hard, keeping the bag out
of the water.

Keeping the clothes out of the water has been the hard part for me!

Exactly!

Mary and I were "high and dry" on a self-inflating queen sized air bed (the
best damned camping investment we have EVER made, by the way) -- but my
clothes bag was sitting in a puddle...

In our case, the sleeping bags were on an air mattress...mine must have been
touching a part of the tent that leaked. Oh, and the trick for keeping the
clothes dry? Keep then in the plane...assuming, of course, that the plane
doesn't leak.

The best trick is to have relatives or friends who live in Oshkosh.

We got there on Tuesday, got parked in the Far South 40. Went back on
Wed. AM to see if we could move to a better parking spot. I had Linda
save a spot in the Classic area while another friend and I went to get
the plane. Along the way, I suggested that we try a "legal" move and
contacted the Vintage volunteers.

They gave me a prime spot, just a few planes away from the
giraffe-painted Sikorsky S-39 and the zebra-painted S-38. We went back
to Linda and told her that we had a better parking spot and to meet us
at the Aeroshell motorhome.

It was a good thin that we released her, as it began to pour rain just
after we got to the plane! The old Johnson Rocket got a prime spot.

I got to see the ill-fated Hughes Racer (wht a magnificent piece of
art!). I think that it was scheduled to fly on Thursday, but the rain
interrupted that demo. I was shocked to read this week that both it and
Jim Wright were lost in Yellowstone Park. My condolences to everybody.
