If you're a walker and want a challenge, I invite you to walk around the lake with me during EAA AirVenture! I'll be at Camp Scholler all week, and will take one day--maybe Tuesday--and walk a 75-mile route around Lake Winnebago.
Have a look at my website www.myairventure.weebly.com and click on the "Walk around the Lake" button up top. A route is published there courtesy of mapmywalk.com, and the rough plan is to leave the Camp Scholler area around 4 am, walk at 4 mph for 12 hours, then take a three-hour break, then continue at 4 mph for six more hours and that should about do it, putting us back at Camp Scholler around 1 am on Wednesday.
The route goes through Fond du Lac, Brothertown, Harrison, Appleton, and Winnbago, then through Oshkosh proper to Camp Scholler.
If desired, I would be open to doing it as an overnight, perhaps camping at High Cliff State Park. This would mean missing more of AirVenture, but would be a more relaxed walk and avoid walking at night.
Thanks!...Wayne B.
