    Oshkosh on Google Earth

    Google Earth and Google Maps have been updated with photos of Oshkosh taken during the show this year.

    From the looks of it, it appears to have been taken on opening Monday around 1-2PM.

    We were worried that day - Vintage parking wasn't even past "Fond Du Lac City Limits." It filled up about Wednesday.

    Awesome, looks like the picture was right after my sister arrived. Her van is in our campsite but her "taj ma tent" isn't erected yet!

    I concur with the exact same time estimate. We arrived at about 11am Monday, and had just put the awning out on the camper and had lunch between 1 and 2, then left for the show on the Gator. The picture shows our awning out, and the Gator is gone.
