I am planning to fly to OSH from the Sacramento area  for the first time this year. Just wondered if anyone had a favorite fuel/food/overnight stop along the route. I plan to take my time and see some of the country along the way.   

Thanks  

Richard

 Richard-

  

 If you are into staying indoors (hotel) I would recommend Worthington, MN  (southwest corner of the state).  The Holiday Inn is close by and will come  pick you up.  They have an excellent restaurant inside.  Also North  Platte, NE was good although the hotels are a little farther away from the  airport.

  

 If you want to camp, I've stayed at Mitchell, SD before and enjoyed it very  much.

Jennings, Louisiana has a Comfort Inn on the airport, with tiedowns on the property. No transportation required!

Those'd have to be some nifty tiedowns and a heck of a hotel to make it worth stopping on the way to Osh from Sacramento. (g)

If you are taking a Southern route , Mena , Arkansas ( KMEZ)  has an  excellent airport and MAC Jet Center has fuel ,lowest price around, a crew  car to lodging and the friendliest service around.  Owner is a long-time  friend of mine and I recommend his business.

Any suggestions on where to stay at Rushmore?  We intend to spend a day

there at least on the way from Seattle...

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  Stop in Leadville, CO and get your certificate (suitable for framing) for  landing at the highest runway in the United States.  Then south of Weston  Pass and through Wilkerson Pass into Denver Centennial Airport.  Great food  at the Perfect Landing restaurant and good self-serve fuel prices on the north  end of the field (north of the Alpha ramp).

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->   Forget going south!!!

 Stop in Leadville, CO  (LXV) and get your certificate (suitable for  framing) for landing at the highest runway in the United States.  Then  south of Weston Pass and through Wilkerson Pass into Denver Centennial Airport  (APA).  Great food at the Perfect Landing restaurant and good self-serve  fuel prices on the north end of the field (north of the Alpha ramp).   Greely, CO (GXY) is also a great stop for food and fuel prices and friendly  service.  Both locations have many hotels that will come and get you to  take you to a good nights rest.  Check the AOPA directory.

OOPS! I read OSHKOSH and thought SUN-N-FUN, since that's happening soon. (He did say he wanted to "see some of the country along the way").

Do a search in the Black Hills.  There appeared to be nicer places there 

closer to Rushmore

Richard,,,if you get Sport Aviation, take a look at  the February 2007 issue....there is an article chronicling just such a trip  written by Lauran and Kay Lyn Paine tho they started from Salem,  Oregon...

 Hard to believe that there might be better places even near a  place called KRAP ;o)

Spearfish is very nice - nice people, beautiful area. Be careful, though, of Sturgiss Rally prices on the way to OSH! The Silver Rose restaurant is very good, if it's still there.

And if you decide to stop in Sturgiss, beware of "exhibition driving"

which is the catch all for hotrodding and showing off...the revenue from

the Sturgiss Rally funds their schools for the whole year.  I don't know

if they have a law against "exhibition flying" but if they do, they're

gonna catch a whole bunch of you Rvers!!!
