Early camping at OSH?

I flew over OSH today. No sign of human life north of Camp Scholar (sp?)
and I honestly couldn't tell of much activity in that area either. Grass is
mowed, looks nice, but no sign of anything else. Lots of local air traffic
at OSH today.

Huge country music fest just west of OSH. Lots of big tents, parking lots
were full, and a huge crowd of ant like peoples swarming the stage.

Mary just had an interesting idea.

The grounds are now open for campers in OSH, right? Does anyone know
if this includes the North 40, or is it only open to car camping now?

If the North 40 is open for campers, we could fly up there next
Wednesday, pitch a crappy old tent (to mark our site), and just leave
it there till OSH starts. This would ensure a terrific campsite for
the rec.aviation HOPS party!

I have no idea what they would charge to camp before the show opens.
(And, of course, we would no longer be parked together in the North
40...) Knowing EAA, probably the same "arm & leg" they charge
*during* the show, which would make it cost-prohibitive, but...

Anyone know if the North 40 is open, and what it costs this early?
