We no longer have a travel trailer but, our grandson Maxwell remembers when we did. Since he was about three he has been asking if we can buy another one so we can take him camping. Buying another trailer isn’t an option right now but we did do the next best thing. Last week we rented […]

Friday – Seaplane Base I hopped a shuttle bus out to the seaplane base Friday morning. It is always much more peaceful out there, away from the crowd at the main show grounds. Still, there were more people there than I have seen on any previous visit. Maybe the word is getting out. There […]

Tuesday- Shopping Day I attended two forums on Tuesday. The first was FAA Section 333 Exemptions presented by Drone Media Group. This FAA exemption deals with using drones commercially in the United States. During the talk I learned that every commercial drone flight requires the UAV to be operated by a licensed pilot. That means […]

AirVenture 2015 is coming up the end of July. I bought weekly tickets for Georgia and I and reserved a space for our travel trailer. We will be staying at Sleep Hollow Farms again this year. Sleepy Hollow Farms is just as close to the action as the EAA camping but we get water, electric […]

The very cold winter has turned into a cold spring but, Georgia and I made our first RV trip of the year last Friday. It was opening weekend at Fox Hill RV Park in Baraboo, Wisconsin. We always enjoy the Wisconsin Dells area, and we have been to Fox Hill before, so we took advantage […]

Thursday morning I got the campground shuttle over to the bus park then got on the Seaplane Base bus. The atmosphere at the lake is completely different from that at the main show area. It is very peaceful and laid-back out there. If you go to Oshkosh, you should spend some time at the Seaplane […]

The trailer was ready to go by the night of the 3rd. Refrigerator cold, food and clothes loaded and truck fueled. We planned to get up and get an early start to Wisconsin Dells on the morning of July 4th. So much for plans. We woke up that morning to the sump pump battery alarm […]
