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).

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.

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!

Paul could make a few special trips to OSH, meet Jim, store PMC units,
etc. Ooooooooooooh, our own MOAG...now this is getting exciting. All
we need to do is convince someone (JimB/Paul, perhaps even Joe the grill
master) to rotate nightly shifts running the grill and we're set. No
more having to run from the Charcoal Pit through the wall of water! :-)
