Guys,

   Lastly, I'm wondering how hot it is at Oshkosh.  I'm not real good at
   dealing with heat but I would like to camp out if possible.  Would like
   to be able to visit late and early instead of staying in town and
 taking
   the bus.  This I need to know asap so I can get a room before all gone
   if the bedroll is a no go.

   I won't bother you all with long emails again but just wanted to say
   hello and keep up the good and interesting work.  I'm going to get
 involved.

 I 've been going to OSH every year. I can answer your question on how
 hot it is in OSH ...I think it is hot, but I live up north where I
 consider anything above 80F as hot.

 Typical days at OSH are in the high 80s, mornings are typically
 beautiful.
 I usually go through the gates before 7 AM and thoroughly enjoy myself
 until about 11AM, Around noon I start avoiding the hangars and start
 looking for breezy shady places. One year it stayed cool all week, was
 quite cool and beautiful for several days straight. Nights are usually
 pleasant. Right now as I look out my window in N Wisconsin, it is
 snowing, so maybe this year will be a cool one.

Thanks for reply, Robin.  I'm from Wyoming so anything over 65 starts to
get warm.  I could use a bedroll if temp not over 80 at nite.  Wouldn't
like it but could do it.  If hotter than 80 at nite, I'd need a room.
 What do you think?

Go for it.  I've never heard anyone at OSH complain much about not
sleeping at night because it was too hot. I've noticed that most all the
trailers and motorhomes have AC though.  My OSH travel partner the last
few years died in his sleep about a month ago, so I might find myself
sleeping in the back of my Ram 2500.  Hope it cools off back there at
night too.

Dear Van,

Last time I went to OSH was back in '07.As it was always my nature to
rough it, in all my Adventures travelling from NY there,from my first in
1979,to the last,I went there  with a 2 man tent and a bedroll.

 The first time I wandered into the aircraft parking site after
registering for the week,and a kind Piper Apache owner allowed me to
pitch my tent under his right wing,and shared his food.

 The last time,I was treated to the most delicious first-class meals
,at a Christian Missionary  Pilot's outpost,just by  offering my help in
volunteering my in setting- up and breaking-down the tables and chairs
at meals.I lived out of a $16. Walmart tent in Camp Scholler,no heavy
rains.Carry a lined raincoat wi/a hood ,and an inflatable mattress ,and
you are set.There are services from A to Z.

OSH has always been  Magical place to have gone to;the best of the
American Ideal shines through.Enjoy.
