Do you provide free "Camping gear delivery tracking"...a la
UPS/FedEx/etc. style? Heck, I'll even take the "I'm there" call while
we're basking by the pool at Jay's place :-)

How 'bout the - I'm doing 70 down a two lane county road, drinking a
slurpee, reading a map, talking on a "portable phone"...call?

Monk & Montblack,
MSP should be cheaper than GRB or ATW, but with the airplane of minivans,
GRB or ATW are only 20 minutes from OSH. If you needed to catch a plane
back east during the week, I'm sure that Paul or I could get you
transported to either GRB or ATW one evening.


Either of those two pickup points would work - except Sunday evening or all
day Wednesday. I'm unavailable those two days.

My way, in the airplane of minivans, you get to see Wisconsin, from (west to
east) and again, from (east to west). g

I like your way Montblack, I love road trips and getting to see
different regions of the US.



Driving time is optimistic. Especially if you get behind something big and
slow on Hwy 21. We call it 6+ hours for 300 miles. That's pretty close -
with two, or three, ...or four quick de-fueling stops.

The buffet at the truck stop in Tomah, WI is worth pulling over for. Nice
half-way point. Some big National Tractor Pull was going on in Tomah when we
drove through last weekend.

Food!!! Now you're talking. I especially like to sample street food,
fast food and junk food of different regions.

How late will we be back to MSP? I've got to be back to NOVA prior to
Monday morning. If I can squeeze a flight back to NOVA into your time
frame and be back so that I can make my appointment on the morning of
the 31, I'm in.

Sunday's plan was to sit by the runway and watch planes depart. That's it -
sit, and watch. BTW, that's what the first Saturday and Sunday are for, too.

Walking around is midweek.

If you can get a Sunday MSP flight anytime AFTER 7:00pm we can leave OSH
around noon. That builds in plenty of time. (Our drive home, last Sunday,
was just over 5 hours - one wayside rest, and later, an Arby's pit stop with
a sandwich order "To go.") If your flight departs MSP earlier than 7pm, we
leave OSH earlier - simple as that.

If Saturday night or Sunday morning are your only MSP departure options - so
be it. We'll get you home.

Shoot for Sunday evening - later is ok-fine with me. *You're* the one
getting into NOVA at 3am. g

Get what you can and we'll work around it ...."Hello, Amtrak?"

Thursday or Friday (anytime) arrival into MSP is ok on this end - 20th or
21st. Stay here.

Air Conditioned Dorm room is from Saturday night - Wednesday night. After
that we'll find a place for you. Have you ever slept in a Tri-Motor? :-)

Hey, you mean you're not gonna stop by me and haul a prop back to Maxwell
this year?!!

That's right, OSH is annual time for your Aztec. (Hope it's not the same
prop!)

Sure, no problem. We'll squeeze it in ...time wise I mean. :-)

Hey, we could swing by the Plainsville farm of Ed Gein, on the way to
Stevens Point, if we've got extra time ...to kill.


Montblack

So far the props are fine... crossed fingers... and the Plainfield farm of
Ed Gein is for sale if you're interested. I could give you the whole tour
but you wouldn't be impressed, nothing to see really.

WHAT??? Don't toy with me man! You finally have a cell phone??? The
two people on the face of the planet (other one is related to me,
building an airplane, rides along to/from OSH) have bought cell phones?
I see...last year it was the camera with the BIG screen (and PMC 1.0).
This year, it's a cell phone and PMC 2.0. Careful there my friend or
some day you'll actually *fly* into OSH (in a real plane vs. the
airplane of minivans thing) :-)

So...um...sure, the "...blah blah..drinking a slurpee...blah blah..."
call works great. I'm likely to be sitting poolside at the Alexis Park
Inn (hoping the kids are not splashing the cell phone, handheld
transceiver, etc.).

It's July 1st today. You 'll get in to MSP (no later than) Friday, the 21st.

Do airlines still have a 21 day cut-off for discounted ticket purchasing?
