Finally found the cable for the camera in all my stuff after OSH, so here's a first timers brief report.
OVERWHELMING. Yep, that's the OSH report. I flew out from Central CA in the RV-6, stayed in Homebuilt camping, and spent Monday through Friday simply overwhelmed with all that there is to see and do. A short week was not enough to see it, I already want to go back!
I had planned to camp my first night in Lake Mills, Iowa, about 1:15 West of OSH. Unfortunately there were some unfavorable winds in the area of Lake Mills that afternoon, so I stayed in Yankton, SD instead. GREAT place to stop as turned out, and only a couple hours further west.
Rough flight route.
Outbound over the Sierra near Mammoth.
Parked at YKN for the night, pretty airport.
I got a fairly early start day two, and the direct route was right over Lake Mills. I might as well drop in for a look around this beautiful grass strip. Bummed I didn't get to stay here, but it was a good call.
It was pretty quiet at Ripon Monday morning at 0930.
I'm at Oshkosh! Mine is the RV in Homebuilt camping...
