"Taylor Hall was recently renovated and now includes air conditioning,
private dressing areas in each shower, and brand new furniture in every
room. Rooms in this hall are $70 per night. For 2006, this hall is FULL
and the waiting list for Taylor Hall is now closed..."

I'm interested Paul, still looking for empty seat to Osh. I might
consider commercial flight.


1. Fly into the Twin Cities (MSP) on Friday night, Thursday, whatever.
2. Stay with us - see the town. Oh boy.
3. Will be driving over early, early, early Saturday morning.
4. Stay in the (Air Conditioned) dorm room (Sat-Wed) 5 nights.
(Wed-Sat is taken).

5. After that, we'll find something for you - maybe even at no cost.
6. Drive back with me to Minnesota on Sunday.
7. Return home whenever - Monday. Sunday evening?

Might be longer than you want to be away, but it's an option.

Wow Paul! Sounds like an offer that I can not resist. Will give it a
couple more days then I'll see about commercial flights to the Twin
Cities. What are the dates we're talking about?

Monk & Montblack,
MSP should be cheaper than GRB or ATW, but with the airplane of minivans,
GRB or ATW are only 20 minutes from OSH. If you needed to catch a plane
back east during the week, I'm sure that Paul or I could get you transported
to either GRB or ATW one evening.

I flew airline to Chicago Midway one year and rented a car from there. It was
"not awful", I had a car to drive once at OSH. Kinda seems like cheating to
drive to a fly-in, though.

Either of those two pickup points would work - except Sunday evening or all
day Wednesday. I'm unavailable those two days.

My way, in the airplane of minivans, you get to see Wisconsin, from (west to
east) and again, from (east to west). g

Mapquest route.

Driving time is optimistic. Especially if you get behind something big and
slow on Hwy 21. We call it 6+ hours for 300 miles. That's pretty close -
with two, or three, ...or four quick de-fueling stops.

The buffet at the truck stop in Tomah, WI is worth pulling over for. Nice
half-way point. Some big National Tractor Pull was going on in Tomah when we
drove through last weekend.

I like your way Montblack, I love road trips and getting to see
different regions of the US.

Food!!! Now you're talking. I especially like to sample street food,
fast food and junk food of different regions.

How late will we be back to MSP? I've got to be back to NOVA prior to
Monday morning. If I can squeeze a flight back to NOVA into your time
frame and be back so that I can make my appointment on the morning of
the 31, I'm in.

Sunday's plan was to sit by the runway and watch planes depart. That's it -
sit, and watch. BTW, that's what the first Saturday and Sunday are for, too.
g

Walking around is midweek.

If you can get a Sunday MSP flight anytime AFTER 7:00pm we can leave OSH
around noon. That builds in plenty of time. (Our drive home, last Sunday,
was just over 5 hours - one wayside rest, and later, an Arby's pit stop with
a sandwich order "To go.") If your flight departs MSP earlier than 7pm, we
leave OSH earlier - simple as that.

If Saturday night or Sunday morning are your only MSP departure options - so
be it. We'll get you home.

Shoot for Sunday evening - later is ok-fine with me. *You're* the one
getting into NOVA at 3am. g

Get what you can and we'll work around it ...."Hello, Amtrak?"

Thursday or Friday (anytime) arrival into MSP is ok on this end - 20th or
21st. Stay here.

Air Conditioned Dorm room is from Saturday night - Wednesday night. After
that we'll find a place for you. Have you ever slept in a Tri-Motor? :-)

Hey, you mean you're not gonna stop by me and haul a prop back to Maxwell
this year?!!

That's right, OSH is annual time for your Aztec. (Hope it's not the same
prop!)

Sure, no problem. We'll squeeze it in ...time wise I mean. :-)

Hey, we could swing by the Plainsville farm of Ed Gein, on the way to
Stevens Point, if we've got extra time ...to kill.


Montblack

Think I'll book the flight tomorrow or the day after. Gotta find a way
to break it to da wife first.

It's July 1st today. You 'll get in to MSP (no later than) Friday, the 21st.

Do airlines still have a 21 day cut-off for discounted ticket purchasing?
