I'm thinking of volunteering at AirVenture during the show and two
weeks prior. Does EAA provide any place to camp for volunteers? I
don't mind paying during the show but premium rate ($20/day) for a
field is kind of tough to swallow. Especially while I'm working for
free. There are a lot of full service parks (not the "resorts") for
$100/week with WIFI, pool, water, electric, sewer and cable TV.

I'll be traveling with a 24 foot travel trailer and a LWB 3/4 ton
pickup. Combo about 50 feet long or so. The spaces in Camp Scholler
are 20x30 and the rules say units have to be 10 feet apart. That means
no room for the truck. They say extra vehicle parking permits can be
purchased for the nearby lots. Is this an accurate interpretation? If
so, this is a deal breaker for me.

When will the WIFI be operational?

Has anyone camped in Camp Scholler before? Your experience?

Has anyone volunteered before. Is it enjoyable or slave labor?

I have emailed EAA but no reply yet.

Have you never been to Oshgosh before?
Lou

Oh yeah. Oshkosh and Sun-N-Fun, for 20 some years straight starting
in 1979. Flew in to Fond du Lac once. Drove the rest but never camped.
Slept in the dorms once; on a couch. Worse than camping. Never
volunteered.

Bought the bricks at the museum; twice.

Over the years, my priorities and obligations have changed. But since
I will be half way there and have the time, I thought it would be a
good time to get reacquainted.
