Oshkosh – Thursday and a Little Friday

This morning outside the showers at Camp Scholler. Charging up Cole’s DVD player and my laptop and doing another blog post.

Cole peeks out of the left side window of Duggy – The Smile in the Sky, an EAA-operated DC-3. We later say the Liberty Parachute Team exit Duggy over the show.

How do you know it’s raining at Oshkosh? Check out the herd of fellow enthusiasts lined up instinctively under the wing of the C-5A. Lots of similar formations around the field as it spat rain on and off all day. Thunderstorms most of the night, but we stayed dry in the tent. Cole’s shoes were the only real victims.

A unique camping conveyance. Look closely . . .

Yep. This guy doesn’t mess around. It was 90+ F with little wind in the middle of the open fields of the ‘teens at Camp Scholler and this guy was looking awfully smart to me.
