    North 40 facilities?

    Last year, I finally made my first pilgrimage to OSH. We drove up (yes, from Atlanta...hey, it's only 14-15 hours...) and camped in Scholler. It was a great experience, and of of course we're coming back this year, but this time we'll be flying in.

    So I'm curious...how do the North 40 facilities compare to Scholler? I gather there are two bathhouses, both south of 9/27. Are there any of the nice electronic device charging stations like they had in Scholler? Maybe even wifi service? Or am I asking too much?

    Just curious...

    Also, any general tips? We're going to be arriving early on the morning of the 27th to avoid the high-traffic periods. Don't worry, I have tie-downs.

    getting there the morning of the 27th will get you close to the new shower building ( east side)
    that puts the ice/food service around 100 yards to the west of you.
    Wifi is located on the shower buildings and also registration
    I would also bring 3 boards 1X10x18. Place them under the wheels so it will be easy to pull the plane out at the end of the week
    the shower buildings have charging plug ins on each end
    there is also a portable shower building on the north side of 9/27
    bring chairs to watch all the planes landing and departing 9/27

    Since you're going to need a gas stop before then - try KSER in Southern Indiana. I'm flying from Athens to Y50(Wautoma - West of Osh) and my flight planning says one fuel stop. If you want to stop in the Chicago area, try KJOT (great prices and staff - they'll lend you a crew car and send you to the other side of the airport to a great local restaurant).

    I'm going to be staying overnight at Joliet actually. My plan is to fly out Friday afternoon, make my first fuel stop in Kentucky, then stop at Joliet for the night. I figure I'd rather do my first OSH arrival on a good night's sleep instead of at the tail end of a six-hour flight.

    Try to get to OSH early in the day.
    Less traffic.
    Time to set up.
    Time to relax.
