I think there would be a problem with bringing pods on trucks down the
airplane parking rows at OSH. Problem? No problem, they wouldn't let them.

The PODS are stackable.
Multi-story "units" could be stacked at the end of the rows to form
"villages". Rental price increases with height above ground. Height is
limited by transition surface (7:1 slope from runway edge).

(scrambling to discover how to turn old walmart into storage units...)

The building already has a loading dock in the rear of the structure.
Fork lift the storage containers within the building to the dock, load
onto delivery truck.

You know, if a gang regularly went to OSH camping, they could get all of the
stuff they need every year, and rent one of those small climate controlled
storage units, and just go and get their stuff when they get there, and put
if back when they leave.

Sunshine Rental is located 4 blocks north of the Whitman field FBO (end of the
bus line). It's at 1607 Ohio St. Phone is 920 426-2117.

That's the closest one I found.

2. Somebody HAS to be there the day before the show to tell the EAA
forklift operator where to dump the stuff.

Possibly the stuff can be kept in an enclosed trailer that can be moved to some
sort of parking area during the event?

Actually, I was thinking of turning the inside into self-storage units.
Hundreds of closet sized units.

Tony,

Okay, okay, it was a braai! Maybe I should have let someone else explain
the
party... :-P .... By next year I'll know everything there is to know about
the party.

Make sure you ask them about the boerewors, sosatis, and biltong!

But it can't be a "loose association". We need cubic feet and a formal
organization to approach EAA with this request. I'm willing to be the EAA
conduit, but you all have to form the association and request a specific
amount of cubic feet of storage.

Hmm. The "rec.aviation club" works for me.

Or do we need something more official sounding?

How about the "rec.aviation.owners". THat works for me.

I'll make some quiet inquiries on Monday.

One guy took the rolled up American flag and tossed it on the ground...I
saw it happened and I blew up! I yelled at the guy to pick it up, but I
guess he didn't understand me so I got out and picked up the flag and
leaned it against some other stuff off the ground, with a really angry
expression on my face. I think they got the message.

No. One does not get it (not beeing an American) unless you read it or have
been told about this "our flag is so sacred" thingy [1]. I also have a US
flag somewhere ... I stowed it away someplace ... no idea where it
currently is - but it really doesn't matter. It is only a piece of fabric -
for me. YMMV, I guess.

[1] the first time I read about all those rules I had a good laugh. But
this is only me. I respect those respecting the rules. But don't expect
everybody else respecting those rules. It is a law only in your country.

Thanks, Jim.

Wow, just imagine. We could store our own MOAG (Mother Of All Grills)
"on-site", and we could have a pig roast every year! Not to mention all
the chairs, tables, and (dare I say it) coolers?

No more hauling around the PMC -- "Pimp My Cooler", AKA: "The Coffin"??

Wow, I can almost see Jim (Burns) and Montblack pumping their fists and
shouting "YES!" from here!
