Hmm... you picked Waupaca because there's a strip joint right across the
road from the airport, right? ![]() I have a few contacts at PCZ, would you like me to check on a hanger for you? email me if yes. Simpsons is a great supper club located on Main St. downtown Waupaca, great steaks. If you're on the chain-o-lakes, the Clearwater Harbor Bar has great burgers, the Wheelhouse for great home made pizza. Jim Burns "RST Engineering" wrote in message ... Thanks for all the info, gang. Right now it looks like a B&B in Waupaca and a rather inexpensive rental car for the hour drive. Don't give me that "wussy" crap, Honeck, remember I've got well over 20 years on you {;-) Is the Apollo suite available Saturday night? Jim |

No, I picked Waupaca because somebody emailed me the name of a particularly
delightful B&B in town (Green Fountain) that is LESS EXPENSIVE than the dorms, if you can believe it. We are having some transportation problems. The only car rental agency in town (the local Ford dealership) is tapped out that week, and the Enterprise in Stevens Point is closed on Sunday. I really need to get to and from the field on Sunday to pick up my credentials, parking pass, and schlep the usual 50# box of forums crap to the forums office. I'm fighting that battle right now, and don't know how it is going to turn out. If you've got a contact for a hangar, that would be wonderful. If you want to search your contacts to have somebody "loan" me a car for four days with the upfront handshake that there will be a lost envelope on the drivers seat with pictures of old dead presidents after the fact (so there won't be any trace or hint of "rental" liability beforehand) that would be better yet. My insurance covers me and the vehicle for any "borrowed" vehicle. Jim "Jim Burns" wrote in message ...

Jim I believe the Wheelhouse is the place my wife and I went to that not only had great pizza but some outstanding Itilian food at very resonable prices. Great atmosphere too. |

All I know Jay is that this year, I'm following you guys once we're
outside of Ripon. Seems like whenever I lead the way, we get separated in the gaggle around the lake then wind up camping far apart. I have yet to camp next to MontBlack's PMC and I aim to fix that! :-) Hey MontBlack, speaking of PMC...since 2.0 never made it out of the designer's head last year, what are the plans for unveiling the new version this year? -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-Instrument Airplane "To become a Jedi knight, you must master a single force.

May 19th and 20th is Blaine Aviation Weekend (B.A.W.)

It's a much bigger area than it looks like in the photo. The Fly-In planes will be parked on the "south end" ramp, where I'll also be wandering around, checking on the (soda)pop crew.

Ah well...PMC 1.0 has held up for two years running. I'm sure it will last another OSH season. -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-Instrument Airplane "To become a Jedi knight, you must master a single force.

I take exception with your SL(M)LE statement! The excuse(s) last year were a bit on the weak side, sure. But lame? Definitely not lame. Ok, a little gimpy ...maybe.

Yeah, I can understand the concerns of your co-conspirator Jim. Perhaps
flying at different altitudes until we're in visual contact. Also, since we'd both be talking to ATC, maybe give them a heads-up that we're looking for each other. Or...the Allison boys leave even earlier and hop up the hill to KGOO (I still can't get over that identifier :-) ) and launch with you guys. We'll figure something out. You could always do what my buddy in the Army national guard does to their helicopters...paint portions of the airframe with bright fluorescent colors :-) -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL-Instrument Airplane "To become a Jedi knight, you must master a single force.
