As for terrestrial RV's in Camp Scholler, this is the winner for biggest (so far).

16 hauling wheels (10 on dual rear, dually truck and 6 more on tri-ax trailer).
Apparently 12 more wheels rode inside trailer (Maverick truck & two JD's).

HBC aircraft population has tripled overnight

So in a week there'll be over 2000 !

Looks like Canadian wildfire smoke effecting visibility. Hoping it clears by this weekend.

Was visiting HBC this morning and only saw one plane taxi in (Bearhawk I think?).
While out on the grounds, Security is much tighter on vehicle credentials & speeds.
Smoke? yep it's annoying to the point of irritation.

Went to the Reno Air Races a few years ago with the smoke in our eyes the whole weekend. Took a lot of the fun out of it, I can tell you

I put on a mask today to breath in smoky Ann Arbor, MI. It helped a lot. If you have any masks remaining from Covid or friends do, see if you can grab a few. I think a cloth mask that has been wetted down might get rid of most of the irritating particulates in the air you breath.

FWIW ground level smoke haze is about the same as yesterday (vis ~1 sm?) - but is currently low level and thin. Above/thru it there's blue sky w/ high scattered cirrus.
No telling what it'll do as day advances, Your visibility may vary (YVMY)

Well it's been a nice week of clean & unoccupied restrooms in camp Scholler

WISCO - where brats, cheese & beer are appropriate for every meal

My aging intestines did a backflip just from reading that sentence!



ETA: Ironically, this calls into question your previous post regarding the bathrooms.

Calm before another storm ?

As you probably saw, the approach from Endeavor to Ripon to OSH was a solid mass of airplanes yesterday.
Many pissed off, horror stories of planes cutting in line.
Reckon it'll be the same once the field & approaches open again.
Nice to be on the ground

Wx not looking good for today (smoke) or tomorrow (rain/T-storms). Rest of the week looking better.

Lots of space in all aircraft camping areas. I’ve never seen it this empty this close to show start. You guys flying the VFR arrival be extra careful as it’s gonna be a Charlie Foxtrot when the field goes MVFR or VFR.

Seems like a total cluster. Looks like they changed from 27 to 9 and created a huge mess!
