Oshkosh camping

Nope. It's $65 for the room. That's $32.50 each person per day.

Of course you could tell the person you're there with that it's $130 a
night for the room. Then it's free for you :-)

I'm trying the dorms at Lawrence University in Appleton this year. $65
for a double room. Share bathroom with only 1 other room. And air
conditioned. The place is only about 3 years old. Singles are sold
out, but it looks like they still have double rooms. I haven't stayed
there before, so I'm only going by what's on their web site, but it
looks like a good value.

Please clarify for me. The $65 for a double room is a "double
occupancy" rate (i.e. $130 for a room with two beds)? Yes?

Thanks

This year is shaping up to be pretty warm. It was 92 in Madison, WI
today. OSH is only 4 weeks away!

It will cool off by then


I hope!! GRIN

Oh, it will, since it will be a month closer to winter, the temps
will drop considerably.

Right....sure....

Plan on temps between 70s and high 90s with dewpoints in the 70s...

Summer in the midwest can be VERY fickle...But plan on unbearable heat..

Summer in the midwest can be VERY fickle...But plan on unbearable heat..

The odds are on the heat, but I remember being hunkered down behind
the windshield of the welcome wagon with the hope that this was going
to be our last run of the day. I had a wool sweater on with a jacket
over it and I was still shivering.

I remember waiting for the buss at the terminal using an umbrella to
keep dry and a coat to keep warm.

I remember laying under the wing of the Deb thinking, "My GAWD it's
hot, I'll never make it back to my room". I barely had enough energy
to roll over to watch the air show from under the wing.

I remember it being too hot to even lay in a tent next to the airplane
for shade.

I also remember when we had a heat index of over 111. Of course that
was the same day my wife was riding her bike from some where out on
the Green Bay peninsula to Manitowoc where she'd catch the ferry
across to Ludington and then drive home.

I remember winds at 30 knots shifting from off the nose on 27 to 180
and the plane starting to skid at just about rotation speed. I
remember the temperature in the clouds as we climbed out was still
above 80. Only when ATC had us climb to 8000 (east bound) for traffic
avoidance over Lake Michigan did it drop to near 70.

Plan on heat and the odds will be with you, but expect almost
anything.

I have been at OSH when the temps were in the teens and in the 90-90+'s, all
in the same week. We usually pitch the tent in a high spot in Camp
Scholler, on a bigger than the tent ground tarp, then take a tarp that gives
a minimum of a 4' drip ring around the tent and tie it off to stakes. This
guarantees a dry and windstorm proof tent.

Store your clothes either inside a car trunk or in plastic bags as the
humidity spikes int he afternoon.

As for sleeping......after walking in the HOT sun all day, enjoying the
evening festivities, grabbing a shower around 10PM to Midnight, I crawl my
naked butt into sheets placed inside my open sleeping bag (it can get really
cool here too) and don't even roll until that pesky 7AM morning drone flyby
to wake us all up.

If worse comes, let the storms rage (and they will) but we are always high
and dry.

Can't make it this year.... ;-(

For anyone that has actually slept in a tent at OSH, does it cool off
enough at night to sleep comfortably? If it's muggy all night, I might
just blast off and fly my homebuilt somewhere and get an air
conditioned hotel room. My plane is fast, so even if I have to go as
far as Milwalkee, it's no big deal. I just don't want to make
reservations, then have to deal with not being able to make it due to
weather enroute from SC. If I wait around until it's dark, and late,
then find out it's too hot to sleep well, im stuck in misery, misery
misery. Sweating all night.

I slept in a tent in 1991 and it was O.K. if you didn't get in the
bag. We had to go to bed at sundown because the mosquitos come out in
droves. I then got up about midnite or a little later and took a
shower which wasn't crowded at that time. I then went back and lay
down til sunrise and got out and looked at stuff before the crowds
were up. I was camped in the show camping which was right next to the
theatre in the woods. They'd let you park a homebuilt in there then,
but I think it has changed since then.

Putting a tent on a tarp with some of the tarp sticking out, is a recipe for
the tarp to catch some water, and pool it, then having it leak through the
floor. Normally, you roll up the tarp so it is slightly under the edge of
the tent, and if possible, put some leaves or dirt under the edge of the
tarp, to insure that rain does not drip down the sides of the tent, and find
its way onto the top of the tarp.

Careful how loudly you say "a wind proof tent." I have seen winds at OSH
that will blow down ANYTHING, unless extra lines are added, and firmly
staked.

I *specifically* remember in 200(1?) when we were still giving forums in
tents as opposed to concrete blockhouses standing on the top of a canvas
forums tent in the morning mist giving the forum. Those suckers were guyed
with 1½" ropes and staked with 1" rebar 6' into the ground and they STILL
blew down.

"The show must go on."
