Tomorrow I head once again for Oshkosh. Not Oshkosh the place but Oshkosh the event. Technically it’s called EAA Airventure but those in the know usually just call it “Oshkosh” or even just “KOSH” (which refers not to this Kosh but the code for Wittman Regional Airport, where AirVenture is held) I desperately want to be seen as in the know, so I call it “Oshkosh.”
This year I will take along my new iPhone. According to the AT&T map Oshkosh doesn’t look to have 3G coverage but with luck I’ll have EDGE access at least. The wifi coverage for the campground is supposedly improved over last year (when I could see the network but not connect) so perhaps that as well. If at all possible I’ll be posting since I desperately want to be seen as techno savvy.
I’ve replaced the camera that Alice broke with an identical model because I liked it so much. There’s certainly plenty of things to photograph. I may also take my elderly but impressively-hefty Canon Digital Rebel since I desperately want to be seen as a good photographer.
Cameras, check; memory cards, check; chargers, check; cables, check. The list goes on -way on- from there: clothes to comfortably cover a variety of conditions over nine days, food, assorted gear. But I like making detailed lists, being desperate to be seen as organized. That’s one appealing thing about trips, camping trips in particular: for a brief amount of time I can be organized in a way I cannot be at home. I have what I brought with me, and I know where it all is.
