Pre-Flight
Hijacked from the Suburu thread:
I want to read that! This was my first year to not take the plane up to KOSH (was taking the family for their first trip). What a different experience.
I've done the dorm thing 2 years and all the others were N40 camping. Compared to the "organized chaos" of N40 camping, Scholler spot picking is a free for all. As long as you aren't in the fire lanes I guess you are golden, arrived on Sunday and ended up near lot S, might as well have been on the highway.
How early do people get there for the "good" camping spots.
What makes up a good Scholler camping spot anyway?
What's the best way to negotiate the arrival (pre-pay it seems).
I must admit I did absolutely NO research for the ground arrival to Oshkosh (especially compared with my usual anal retentive attention to the KOSH arrival NOTAM). Up until Sunday morning, I was flying.
I also have to say that the experience from Scholler was.. in a word.. "missing" something compared to N40 camping. It's comfortable, but crowded. And most importantly you really lose a lot of the arrivals and departures. Still it's Airventure, and a lot of fun.
Jim, I suggest you do a play on NOTAM for your article title. Ground based Fisk arrival, or something similar.
Besides, I've got a good shot at writing a full column or feature piece on "Car Camping At OSH" or something like that ... the ins and outs of doing this the first time without making a total clod of yourself. And I'll probably do that anyway. But I've at least got a head start on the process.
