Food stop on way to OShkosh

[moodychief]

Left Saint Louis this morning heading for Oshkosh. Stopped in Rochelle, IL for fuel.

They have a restaurant on the field open 11:00 am - 10:00 pm over the weekend. It is not just a burger joint. My wife had pan seared fish tacos and I had grilled chicken Caesar salad.

Refueled and stuffed, only 120 more miles to go.

We hIghly recommend this stop.

It's a nice place. You can watch sky divers while having lunch. Make sure you monitor the Unicom for jumpers. Also updated charts are a must because they have a new discreet frequency.

Sounds like you beat the rain that is moving in today.

I flew from Boulder Colorado to home Potsdam NY today.  I stopped in Iowa.  The lineman assumed I was heading to KOSH.  Then while I was there for all of 15 minutes 6 Bonanzas in formation flew in and stopped for fuel.  Then some RV's stopped for fuel.  Seems like a Mecca crossing the country.  Meanwhile I flew right past KOSH and forgot to stop.  :-(  Maybe next year.

That would be hard to do, flying by KOSH and not stopping for the day.

It was hard.  I think I was the only small plane within 100 miles not sucked into the gravitational field of the great KOSH star.
