I've finally made the visit across half a world to attend Oshkosh. Loving the show and the selection of aircraft to admire. I am however totally hating camp Scholler and finding my time is a misery. Not blaming EAA, but there are some factors I wasn't aware of.

flying in buy commercial airline, I couldn't bring much with me. I picked up a tent etc locally and arrived Tuesday evening. The camp was pretty full then so was directed to a spot far away in the SW corner. Far away from showers or wifi shack (have to drive to get there) and no sign of any of the famous socialising. There are other tents around but I've never seen the occupants. I certainly feel very lonely and isolated. The buses to the show are good, but the queues to get back after the Wed night show were huge and intimidating to a Kiwi who isn't used to such crowds. I therefore walked back to my tent, 45minutes. In the process I developed a number of very painful blisters on my feet, and walking any distance is impossible. Even with pain killers I couldn't manage more than this morning on site. This has completely ruined my Oshkosh experience.
the final straw is the absence of anywhere to get a proper meal for dinner in the camp area. Pizza and snack foods just don't fill the gap, and without cooking gear there's nothing. I certainly don't want to have to walk more miles to find somewhere that serves suitable stuff and is actually open.
So, isolated, lonely, in pain and starving... The true gulag experience.
