In 20+ years of going to OSH from OH, I have only gone over the top
once. All but one other time have been along the lakeshore. The other
exception was around the west side in 1985 in a Champ. That was to stop
for lunch and fuel at Clow.

Is this option something you'd consider for a Cub or Champ
cruising at 70 mph with a battery operated radio and no
XPDR? If heading from the east coast (Mass) to Oshkosh in
such an old timer how would you go? I doubt I can get over
the top. Around the west side of Chicago or up through
Canada are pretty far at such a slow speed, and 50 miles
over water on the direct route is not something I'm anxious
to try.
