Bend, OR (S07) to OSH route suggestions

[Jack Allison]

Looking for suggestions form folks who have previously flown from Bend, OR
to OSH. Thinking about diverting a bit through the snake river canyon and
planning on making it a two day/one night trip should the weather not mess
with us. Any suggestions for good places to stay the night about halfway?
Any spots to avoid? Thanks.

Well, may I humbly suggest:

The Oshkosh Pool Party is July 25th this year! Be there, or be square.

That would be with, ahem, FREE BEER for all pilots en route to OSH '04.

(And food. And music. And swimming. And hangar lying, er, flying...)

Well Jay, one of these years (see, I'm addicted, only been to OSH once,
going again this year, planning to go forever), either the weather is going
to push us so far south we have to come through Iowa City...or...I plan a
two night trip, the 2nd of which is in Iowa City...or, we fly something fast
enough to make it to Iowa City in a day (and get cooperative weather).

It's "worse" in terms of a more northern route this year as big brother and
I head first from central California to Bend to pickup Dad. So, we're
"square" this year...but definitely planning on making it to the OSH r.a.*
