I guess because we cannot find it! Give us a link to it.

Sure. Click on the 'Home' blue hyperlink just below the VAF logo at the top of the page. Once on the home page, scroll down through the alphabetized list of hyperlinks (blue text) to the 'R's, & click on 'RV Hotel'. There are maps showing geographic locations of participants, and a text listing of names, locations by state/country, phone numbers, accommodations, conditions, etc. Enjoy!

Default Hotel/Casino

If you wanted to take a more northerly route to Oshkosh, you can land in Jackpot NV on the Idaho border and walk 2 minutes to a large hotel casino. I think that's where you pay for gas, so you have to walk there anyway.

I read that there is a new hotel somewhere in the area. Not sure of the current status of things there but it is a neat experience.

Default airport hotels

Since Indiana is already a ways off course here are three more:
Flying W Airport Resort in Medford NJ, motel adjacent to FBO
River Ranch Airport and Resort in Central FL, hotel is listed as .6 miles from airport but I don't think its that far
Seligman AZ tiedown on the ramp and walk down a path to several motels and restaurants. Old route 66 motels but most are clean.

Default RV Hotel - had no idea

I had no idea that the "RV Hotel" existed. Cool! Can "adoptive" RV parents use it?

Yes, based on their name, the Road Kill Cafe is hard to pass up, but Westside Lilos across the street has better food.

My -4 is adopted, so I suppose that they (we) can.

Default Quite a list

Well this turned out to be quite a list
Jennings (3R7) - was the one I was looking for. No good for this OSH trip but might be a good one for a Keys trip.
Fredericksburg (T82) - always wanted to go there with my GF. Kind of out of the way for OSH but I got time so might check it out even though I am solo.
Sedona (SEZ) - been there and love it. If the morning WX stays bad into next week I might leave for there when the morning clouds clear on Wed and be ready for a O Dark Thirty start from there on Thursday.
Olive Branch Memphis - Cannot find that one. Memphis might be a place to check out on this trip. Not on the way but I should have plenty of time.
Beaumont (SN07) - Turf. Sounds like a nice place but not sure I ... never landed on Turf and not sure I want to to that "first" on this trip.
Albany - probably visit there but not this trip.
Putnman Co (4I7 - NOt exactly on the way but again might check it out this trip.
Branson (PLK) - Always wanted to check that place out. I LOVE COUNTRY music. Is there any other music? Kind of on the way might check it out this trip.
K15 - Kind of on the way. Might check it out.
Concord California - Not this trip but a future trip
Jackpot ()6U) - Not this trip but a future trip
UY25 - Not this trip but a future trip
Lon Pine (O26) - Not this trip but a future trip

Cool thanks for all the information. Any more suggestions
