Do you have enough time to give yourself a good head start in case of bad weather en route?          Russ Garner - Jun 30,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Jim Walsh and I so far, I hope I do better than last year. I met some trike drivers at GIF this morning that are head up the same time. Their machines fly between 85-90 mph so we my all hang out. One of the trike drives is a gal and she asked if might take her girl friend up with me. Could be interesting...          Dave Edward - Jun 30,2012   Viewers  | Reply     You Wish......!!          Russ Garner - Jun 30,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Ya Dave, I think I'm going to take an extra gas can instead.          Walt Bates - Jul 02,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Great, Russ. See U there.<br />          Robert Charlwood Richardson - Jul 07,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Due to family matter I can't leave MD until Sunday (22 Jul) to fly into <br />the SB late Monday, an 8 hr flight. WX willing. As a newbie to the <br />Oshkosh fly in. Can any of you suggest good fuel stops and/or <br />overnight sites in Northern Ohio and lower Michigan area? I plan to <br />stay until Friday.          Don Maxwell - Jul 08,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Rob, in Ohio, there's o74 (Elliot's Landing Airport). Turf with a car gas station and restaurant at the end of the runway: News&p=SZVHT0000 Airnav: http://www.airnav.com/airport/o74          Robert Charlwood Richardson - Jul 08,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Thanks Don - I had pulled that O74 from your 'SeaRey Travel Guide' list, it is 50 miles South of my route west. I did a little Googling and found these two sites that offered up potential MOGAS locations<br />* Air.nav.com - <a href="http://airnav.com/plan/fuel/">http://airnav.com/plan/fuel/</a><br />* Mogas Planning Map - <a href="http://www.chouby.com/apps/autogas.html">http://www.chouby.com/apps/autogas.html</a><br />Then I compared their lists against the Seaplane Associations SeaBase registry and came up with a real possibility - Potawatomi Inn, Lake James, Angola, IN. It sits on a lg lake with a beach, that the Inn Mgr says I can easily beach on. If there is no marina on the lake, there is a field to the south with MOGAS. I think this is where I'll RON going in &amp; out of Oshkosh. It kind of reminds me of the Lake Inn at Mt Dora. <br />          Don Maxwell - Jul 08,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Rob, I haven't been to Potawatomi, either, but my parents vacationed there once and liked it. (For a different trip--there's also a motel on Lake Monroe, in Indiana, but it's a lot farther south. There's a ramp that a SeaRey can taxi up.)<br /><br />I couldn't get the <a href="http://www.chouby/">www.chouby</a> link to work.<br /><br />The problem with Airnav's MOGAS listings is that almost none of them have the premium grade. Some marinas have premium gas without ethanol, but many of them aren't seaplane friendly. I just use 100LL on trips when premium mogas isn't easy to get.<br /><br />Actually, if you stopped at o74 en route to Potawatomi, you'd add only about 4 miles to the route from Essex Skypark to the south end of Lake Michigan.          Daniel Paul Myers - Jul 14,2012   Viewers  | Reply     I am leaving this Friday for OSH. I think there are some others leaving around that time. If <br />so, lets make it a party.          Russ Garner - Jul 15,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Departed at 7:30 a.m. from Garner's Landing this morning for OSH. I made it to VLD before the air got to juicy, plan on an early start in the morning.          Don Maxwell - Jul 15,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Go, Russ!          Fran Bainbridge - Jul 16,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Computer has been down &amp; lost email addresses so just saw you are on your way to Osh. See you there. Have a great flight. Fran &amp; Jerry          Paulo Constantino - Jul 26,2012   Viewers  | Reply     So where are the stories and pics from <br />OSH. Who finally made it?
