Apparently there's an entire industry for these:

We had one similar to that. 50 years ago. Let's find a pic with a 70 year old lady with a 10" scar across her knee climbing in or out.

Personally, I need a flat surface. Hammocks don't work for me for very long.

If you sleep on your side a hammock will cause a nice lateral spine deviation...ouch in the morning

[Bob_Belville]

Hammocks ain't going to happen.

If you can get over the sticker price Helinox makes some of the best and lightest camp/beach chairs and cots.

Most important camping tool you can bring to KOSH is good ear plugs. All else is secondary. I swear every other camper has sleep apnea (probably related to the copious amounts of booze consumed).

Do tell.

I am planning on bringing along a bottle of Woodford.

Nancy booked us into the University dorms for 6 nights. Just in case anyone here thought I was in charge... fuhgeddboudit.

Kevin, you will be hearing from a subgroup of the Caravan dedicated to single malt. (There are a lot of folks here who've past the 3 score and ten milestone.)

$75 per night double occupancy includes linens. Plus $20 ea for a shuttle bus pass for the week which runs every 30 minutes from 6:30 to 23:30.

I think I'll just let her think she won. And owes me.

I'll try and swing by the Mooney Caravan compound with something better.

I don't really drink but I've got a bottle of highland Park 18 around here somewhere. I'll bring it some year when I go.

@Bob_Belville, all kidding aside though. How does Nancy manage to climb in and out of the right seat!?

Mike, I'll have to pay attention. She has a method that works. I don't think she could step unto the wing without the step which retracts on out old E.

Thanks for your help! There's a long waiting list for the A/C rooms but Nancy is well satisfied with a first floor non-AC room. And if mamma is not happy...

Three replies to that - and it would only come from the long time happily married gang:

1.  Sheepish grin with downturned eyes:  "Someone has to do it..."

2.  Old sage look, completely inscrutable reciting old Chinese proverb:  "Happy wife, Happy life."

3.  Wicked grin:  "Consideration has its own set of rewards...."

And now back to our regularly scheduled discussion about those fearless young men in their flying machines........

Our 53rd anniversary comes around before KOSH. I'm a slow learner but even a mule catches on after enough "experience".
