Default Marian college anyone?

any comments about Naber hall? I'm guessing it is not the deal the big university is: no shuttle bus service, no AC, not close by..

Default Be a Bum....

I'm going to be a Hobo this year....

Since Louise is working the show for the National Park Service, she is getting a hotel room up in Appleton - that covers me for nights when I want some A/C. I have friends that have extra tent/cot space in Camp Scholler, so if I want to "late night it" at OSH itself, I can crash with them. I'll just use the Val's baggage compartment as a closet, and wander the area as I wish....

(I'm working parts of the show for NASA, but I figure I can save the government some travel money this way!)

But if you don't use up your TDY funds by October you'll lose them!!! Spend spend spend! There's still $0.30 on the GPC! Quick, buy some paper clips!


Naw... just kidding

I'll also vote for Marian College at Fondu Lac(sp)

Its only a couple exits up Highway 41 to the show.

Lots more elbow room than the college in OSH. I've stayed at both.

They have a bus service, but I've not used it. Rent a car.

I have stayed in all varieties of accommodation except the schools.

I know the request was for CLOSE but just to cover all bases this is what I have done the last couple of years.

It is almost impossible now to get a hotel in the OSH, ATW area because so many book up in October. Also many require multiple nights, up to 5 booked in advance... take or pay.

I stay in Green Bay. Since my RV is not done I have flown my Maule. Last year had hard surface parking! Great FBO's. You can get a car or room on short notice -- like book the day before. If you fly in or out iFR there are no reservation problems. OK, so it takes 45-50 minutes to drive rather than 25-30 from, for example, Appleton but haven't noticed. It's an easy drive on a good highway. Hotel prices are less.

This VAF forum site is the best, to think I don?t actually know any one personally and after posting my request for accomadation at Osh this year, the very next morning I have accommodation right across the road from the eveant, this genorosity is hard to comprehend but so greatly appreciated.

Paul
