thanks deftone
A friend of mine arrived yesterday. Between the huge “24 hour generator, no tents allowed” section and the ever expanding “Improved” sites (@$67/night!) those of us with tents in our group are already having to look out around the West Camp store to get a spot. I guess if you are on a budget and are unable to take part in the opening day land grab, you’d better be prepared for long hikes...........

I feel that. For the first time in the past 11 years, I’ve not been able to find a square inch of space between improved camping and the vintage fence. I ended up way way out near the expanded camping area. Airventure and Camp Scholler appear to be the hap’nin’ place to be.

If anyone is set up in the campground, what's the current Camp Scholler FICON report??
On Saturday it was dry and firm. There may have been a few isolated squishy spots, but otherwise in good shape. The farther out you get, the more the grass becomes field-like (vs lawn-like), but I don’t think that’s any sort of surprise

Here in St. Louis, we've been getting the results of the tropical storm formerly known as Barry. It's... moist. July 16, and the ground is soaked and it's actually rather chilly for this time of year (though, that ends later today and we'll be back to our regularly scheduled scorching heat and humidity, now with added BONUS humidity!). Need to look at the storm track and see if this sky full of water is going to continue NNW, because if it does, things could get a bit squishy up at OSH soon.
Thanks for the report Chris!
