Oshkosh camping list? (Planning for next year)

I showered at night 10pm. No lines, no fuss.

In the AM, I my brush teeth, put on clean clothes, my Tilly hat, and head
out for another day of sweat and sunscreen.

Yep; that is my M.O., also. The explorers share the warbirds's showers, and
they tend to be packed in the AM, and sometimes can be a bit "chilly." g

Anyhow, rather OT..but I'll agree that the tapwater at Osh is indeed
rather crappy...but I drank it all week and had no ill effects, so other
then taste it was apparently safe.

I'm surprised that I would have to say this, but we've consumed the
water at OSH for 24 years without any trouble at all.

This year, for the first time, we used bottled water to brew coffee &
tea -- but that was only because someone donated a CASE of bottled
water to our campsite at some point during the week. This was a case
of convenience (hey, it was there), not taste, as the water at OSH is
really quite excellent -- as long as you avoid the water fountains in
the South 40, which use water apparently from iron-laden wells. The
water fountains at the showers in the North 40 are (I believe) city
water, and quite good.

As Paul mentioned, I'm pretty sure that the airport draws water from
several different sources, as there were differences in quality
depending on what fountains you used.

Where we were situated the water was particularly bad. Drinkable, but
not great.
