Arrive right after the air show, and there will be departures (who just
vacated camping spots) queued up ready to go. When they open the field for arrivals, be orbiting Ripon so you're ready to arrive and suck up a spot. Personally, I think this is a bad idea. Orbiting Ripon for any length of time is exhausting (and potentially dangerous, as we all circle that 3-meter dot in the sky), and you are not assured of a spot by arriving after the show. The volunteers seem to be extremely reluctant to "in-fill" camp sites after the show, although I don't know why that is. (Margy? Ron? Can you fill this gap for me?) I think you're ALWAYS better off arriving as early as possible. The field opens at 7-ish, and I've never seen anyone turned away that arrived at that time. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
