I disagree...I only spent 3 days my first time and was ready for more
but my ride was leaving...

I thought I was the only one....

I go for 6 days, and have always gone away wishing I had 3 or 4 more days.
Yes, you get tired, but it is a "good" tired! g

For my money, you can't beat camping on the field. Showers suck, but if you
bring enough food and a way to keep stuff cold, you can't beat getting up
and being there, and the ability to go to camp to eat and rest, and party,
if you want.

Our fly-in pool party will be on Saturday (rather than Sunday) this year, to
allow everyone to arrive in OSH one day early, as prescribed by both
tradition and common sense.

The rec.aviation party at our campsite will still be on Wednesday though,
methinks. Or does that interfere with your other parties, Jim? Montblack?

Jim, are you bringing the monster grill again? Like to see that puppy fired
up this year!! Depending what The Group wants - we'll keep some things the
same and change other things.

Pre-cooked brats is one addition.
Watermelon: Too much darn work, not enough interest. Plus they weren't very
good last year.

No big pickle jar!
Cheese didn't go over very well (sorry Wisconsin)
Maybe some small steaks this year. What the Heck, it's vacation.

July is just around the corner. Who am I kidding, we're going to get 5-7
inches of snow tonight!!

Man, I'd like to see that danged thing in action, too. All I caught was a
glimpse of it last year, as Jim pulled away with that Volkswagen-sized
trailer/grill in tow... (Not that we had a shortage of grills, mind you...)

Pre-cooked brats is one addition.

Ya, hey, one time dere. Brats+Wisconsin=Good eatin'...

Watermelon: Too much darn work, not enough interest. Plus they weren't
very good last year.

Agreed. Anything that can even remotely be construed as "healthy" probably
has no place at OSH, anyway...

Cheese didn't go over very well (sorry Wisconsin)

What? Says who? I really liked the cheese, but there was so danged much
food (thanks to the feast you brought) who could eat cheese, too? :-)

Maybe some small steaks this year. What the Heck, it's vacation.

Steaks? Did someone say "steaks"? I'm always up for steaks, although
getting them cooked to everyone's liking is always a challenge. Jim, does
that monster grill have a "steak setting"??

July is just around the corner. Who am I kidding, we're going to get 5-7
inches of snow tonight!!

Whew! We are luckily (supposedly -- the night is still young) on the "rain"
side of this storm. We'll see...

Think Spring! OSH is only ~100 days away!

Planning on bringing the MOAG! (mother of all grills) I'll make *Darn Sure*
there is no confusion this year.

Might I make a suggestion of cooking a chunk of pig? Real life NC pig
pickin' that we are famous for! Either picked, or shredded, by electric
shredder. With vinegar (Eastern NC) or barbeque (Western NC), or even just
plain, picked off, falling off the bone! Mmmmm, gooo-ooood!

What say ye all? ;-)

If not that, it cooks anything well, and room for lots of it. (Around 18
square feet)

Oh, man, Jim -- now you're TALKING!

However, I can see some problems. Cooking a pig, delectable though it may
be, takes many hours. Trucking big grills into the North 40 is already a
marginally "legal" thing to do at OSH -- do you really think we can leave
that big ol' thing running all day, unattended, in the middle of 12,000
parked airplanes?

And, assuming not, who is going to volunteer to travel all the way to OSH,
only to spend a day baby-sitting a pig on a spit?

Perhaps brats and steaks -- although clearly inferior -- is the better way
to go? Or is there a quicker way to grill a pig?

Nope, no way to rush a pig!. As far as the babysitting the cooking goes, I
have a plan.

Our Aviation Explorer posts all take a day doing KP, which is cooking and
cleaning up for all of the camp, which is around 100 plus. We have talked
about doing pig for the whole base. All we have to do is take Wednesday for
our cooking day. I only have to be around for one meal; (by splitting up
the meals among our members) the others can help do the all day cooking,
sitting legally inside the Explorer compound.

We would also have an out for bringing the grill in, so if it can't come in,
we can just carry the hog in via van, and eat it out of the pan, instead of
out of the pan on the grill.

It is pretty easy to cook, anyway, and once the temperature stabilizes, you
just let it do it's thing!
