You are right, but it seems there should be a few things that are done as a
"public service" by the EAA, and camp store should be one of them. Their
goal should be to not lose money, and make a little.

After all, one reason that some people keep coming back, is that it is not
too much "roughing it."

Speaking of surveys and Airventure, did anyone besides me notice that the
outhouses were significantly smellier, despite very cool temps? It seemed
to me that they changed formulas in the blue water, or used less of it. The
chemical smell was different IMHO, and they got very rank, very quick.

Also, it seemed like there were less dumpsters, or less pickups. The
dumpsters around food vendors seemed to be constantly overflowing.

Perhaps it was record crowds that caused the problems, but I don't think so.
EAA, are you listening? Everyone with a survey, consider putting those
things on your form, if you agree with me, please.
