>So that I have my dates straight... Brodhead is on 7/31 and 8/1/99? >The week-end of Oshkosh?>>Larry- You got it right. EAA starts the 28th I believe and the mass Piet fly-in will be either that day or the next. Then Brodheadreally gets going Friday with arrivals 7/30 , SATURDAY is the bigday at Brodhead, 7/31, and by Sunday the place gets pretty lonelyby noon or so. There IS camping at Brodhead. You make a donationand get a Piet badge to wear showing you donated. There are noset fees nor does anyone strong-arm you to pay anything. Pop is cheapand they have some onsite meals usually done up by local organizations.Motels- not. Monroe nearby has some. About 11 miles away.At the airport they have one men's room w/ shower and one ladies room w/shower. No hookups. You just park and camp and enjoy. Or pitch a tentby a tree, your plane, your car, or your bike. Or your Ford A Sedan.....They have a campfire at night nearby the main aircraft parking area andshowers. They do some informal Piet forums, sell Piet t-shirts, pet dogs, etc. Fun. Oh, did I mention that Piets and other planes areconstantly in the air giving rides ? They have 80 oct. and autogas.Big ole' grass runways with gorgeous pine trees and farmland surroundingthe airport. They have some of the neatest antiques too in nearby hangars-mostly open and tinkering going on all weekend too so you can poke your head in and ask what it is. Sorry...I know that's more than you wanted to know but I'm just gettingmyself all worked up and it's only Jan. !!!________________________________________________________________________________

Doug and others that camp; It is usually crowded at the Broadhead camping area and I think it isfree. This year I hear it will be REALLY crowded camperwise and it is hardto manuver in that parking lot if you have a big rig. You can drive on downto the second entrance for more room but I don't know about the turningradious........might have to park it alongside the road and scout thegrounds on foot. This is not a fancy to do like Oshkosh so there are not alot of rules or signs...........Earl Myers-----Original Message-----

The six year old and I weathered the heat and humidity for a few hours onSaturday. It was nice to meet a few from this list while there. We stayed aslong as my little redhead could stand it. She is a real trooper. Yesterdayat Oshkosh she was on her back under the belly of a Great Lakes wiping offoil mist. How is that for a good kid?If anyone would like, I can post my Brodhead pictures on the web in the nextcouple of days. They are pretty general but you can get the flavor of theevent.TakeCare,-john-________________________________________________________________________________
