Can someone describe the location of the N40 showers on the photo? I've got 15 hours left on my Phase 1 fly off and if I can get it done we're shooting for camping in HBC for the first time.

Default KC Boys, or at least Ripper

Remember to use the index finger for number 1! Don't tell them you need to go number 2.

See you all there.

Well, actually, the N40 showers are not depicted on the photo used. If you use your imagination though it would be roughly in between the two paragraphs just above the '2015' in the text just above the picture posted.

Those showers weren't there when this photo was taken in 2011. I'll try to post a better one later buts it's about 150 yards north of the edge of this photo.

The bath-house is in the top circle. The bottom circle filled with cars, was HBC overflow last year. I was parked in the extreme north west of the area. There was one plane north of me.




BTW, the ground was super hard. I twisted off a cork-screw tie-down. Found two new ones at the flea market.

if we'r emaintaining the same numbering system, won't #2 and #3 mean the same thing? Or is the idea that #1 is up front, #2 is middle and #3 is far back.

Also, for the record, complaints of noise at oshkosh crack me up.

I wonder if a handicap parking permit would get me closer to the porta-pots?

After much internal discussion, we are not changing the numbering. Yes they may run closer together. Will evaluate for next year.

Yes. We do keep a small handicap area right next to the showers. Talk to the parkers when you arrive.

Alton, Im in the row right in front of you, almost in the middle of the photo. Not a bad spot but a long way from the show and coffee. Love the N-40 shower and yes, the noise from the beer tent is loud and the lights in the parking lot are bright.

Ive been told to stop being an old fart, who likes to go to bed when the sun goes down, and go join in the party!
