We had planned on doing a "flying week" around, but as Ron said Madison
gave us "any runway" as there were level 5's just south and the weather
stayed awful for the entire week, so we drove. We missed the tour of the
Johnson Wax building, but did spend quite a bit of time at Wingspread
where I struck up a conversation with the gardener. I now have ferns from
the Wingspread garden in my garden :-).

Wingspread is beautiful, and the Johnson Wax building is stunning. I grew
up with them always in the background.

Both are typical FLW structures, however -- maintenance hogs that are
completely impractical for human occupation. But, boy, do they look cool!

at OSH on the street in Chicago and general had a good time. A week later
the weather cleared and we were flying home. We had a friend (instrument
rated and all) who planned on leaving OSH a few hours after we bugged out
and he ended up stuck on the field for days.
