wrote in message ... Dave Stadt said Two people in charge of evening activities at the EAA were there for the show and I asked them what the deal was. Apparently these guys from South Africa make the trek every year and throw this huge party. The food looked good (I was a bit late to try it out), the music was absolutely great, and the atmosphere was...well, it was uniquely Camp Scholler I guess. The guy playing guitar and singing covered quite a few tunes in the short while I was there. I'll even admit to being moved by his rendition of John Denver songs (okay, so Denver isn't that bad, just cliche!). All in all, it looked like a really great time. I wish I had discovered it earlier in the evening/week. I'll surely catch it next year. The South African contingent has been camping in the same spot for several years that I know of. They have their own small building with communications capability back home and other very civilized amenities. Next year you should try to make it to Swine Fest or however they spell it. It involves a slow cooked dead animal and other culinary delights. It is held pretty close to where the South Africans camp. I was wondering what the building was. I just assumed it was something the airport had put up. How do they get all the stuff over here? Do they ship it on ahead of them and then fly over commercially? I'll hit up Swine Fest next year. I'll be doing a lot more exploring in Scholler to seek out the night life. This year I was a newbie and would be out on the flightline from morning till 11pm, by which time I just wanted to rest. -Tony Goetz Don't know any logistical details but it would appear they buy matching tents by the dozen. They do know how to have a good time. |
