Time is getting short, and soon I will be pointing my K1200LT toward Oshkosh, Wisconsin for the largest Air Show in the USA. The week long event brings together thousands of people with thousands of aircraft of all kinds. From the smallest to the largest and everything in between.
The yearly event is held at the Whitman Regional Airport, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Whitman Regional Airport is the home of the Experimental Aircraft Association, and AirVenture is their largest yearly event. During the week long event, the control tower at Whitman Regional boasts "The Worlds Busiest Control Tower". If you go to AirVenture, don't forget to visit the excellent Aircraft Museum on the airport grounds as well as the Pioneer Airport. There is also a float plane base on nearby Lake Winnebago. If you enjoy camping, then the only place to stay is Camp Scholler, which is right on the airport grounds. The campground has just about every thing you could possibly need, from clean showers to a camp stores. This event is VERY well run! The event runs from July 28th to August 3rd.

This year I plan to take the same scenic route I took last year. Up to Toronto, Canada, then north toward Perry Sound, and probably find a campground there for the night. The following day, I will keep heading north toward the northern end of Georgian Bay. Last year I made it to Newberry, Michigan on the second day after crossing the border back into the United States at Sault Sainte Marie. The third day should find me going thru Green Bay, Wisconsin and finally in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It's a beautiful ride.
