I am sorry I missed the big one for me - I'm in Michigan !!  So, the Lake
and CHI are factors also...

I crossed the lake in my C182. No big deal. Just climb up as high
as C172  will go to give you more glide distance :)
You could also cross where the ferry goes across to be sure
you will be picked up in case they see you make a water landing :)

Dave,

Good luck.

I would do the Chi route dodging airspace with the XPNDR off route.

The ferry goes from Ludington to Manitowoc. You probably knew that already
tho.

Check out the EAA site for what this years rules are.

Try to get in early.  Don't show up when they have an airshow and plan on
getting in.  It might also be full by then. Plan on a long taxi to your spot
if there is one open. Fuel is expensive at OSH.

Another option would be to fly into a neighboring airport and catch the
daily shuttle in.

Plan Z.  Fly into Wautoma Y50 or Wild Rose W23 airports. I'll see if I can
get a car there so you can drive in ( hope you can drive a clutch) .
Hopefully the door will be working than so you could hangar at Wild Rose. W
23. Wautoma has fuel, camping, a shuttle going in every day, and usually
(flw) meals by the local EAA chapter.

You can get a hold of me at dsbarno@vbe.com.  Cell number that week will be
920 539 2275. I live about an hour to the west.

BTW Cessna's flip over when landing in water so open the windows and doors
first. Other wise you will never get them open until the cockpit
fills with water. I hate to be the bearer of such bad news :)
