We have been taking a trip from home to Chicago to visit my oldest daughter and
her family and parked at the truck stop at the intersection of 41 and 26 in
Oshkosh. Got the Harley out of the trailer and rode over to the EAA. Located the
Vintage Birds group and some others randomly parked by themselves. Unfortunately
there weren't too many around, they were all at the air show, go figure! But I
finally got to meet some other Birders. First met Dorothy Helland and apparently
Nancy Brookshire was parked next door. She came over when she heard us talking.
Had a great conversation and while we were there John Heck-Man came over. I
introduced myself but I think he may have been pre-occupied. Don't think he
recalled when I went to check out a Wanderlodge in Angola, IN for him. Too many
things going on to remember everything, I'm sure. Anyway, the rains were coming
and so we split and went back to the truck stop before we got drowned on the
bike. We didn't make reservations at the campsite because of the minimum stay
was 3 days and you had to join the EAA and so on. Didn't think that was what I
wanted to do. I am sitting here at this moment waiting for the rain to stop and
hopefully get over to Camp Scholler again and meet some more Bird owners. The
two ladies were a great start to what I believe will be an outstanding
experience.
