Hello Fellow Kitfox Builders/Drivers:



It has been suggested by some that we get together at Acey Ducey some

evening during Airventure 2006. However nobody seems to know where

Acey-Ducey is located.

Oshkosh information has no idea. There is no telephone number listed for

them. I have used every search engine I could think of without success.

Today I called EAA and the lady in membership services said that Acey-Ducey

is located on Oregon Street and 14th Street.

Can anybody confirm that location? If not, may I suggest that we meet on

Tuesday 25 July at 19:30 local time at Kelly's. Kelly's is located at the

University at the corner of Wisconsin & High Street.

You have the spelling wrong. 

It's the Acee-Deucee Lounge

1329 Oregon St.  

920-235-6050

It is a cool place, and everyone that attends Oshkosh

should go there at least once.

That's wierd, Mapquest says it is at 667 W 8th Ave.  I have tried the 

telephone number, this same one is on the Mapquest listing, and the line is 

always busy.  I will try to find out for sure and let everyone know.

Thanks Ed.

OK folks.  The link below is a map of where the Acee-Duecee is located.  I'm

proposing we meet up on Wednesday evening about 6pm.  I plan to go anyway

and hopefully some of you will be able show up so I can meet you great

people.  It's an excellent place for dinner too.

For those who are on foot, I can load a few into my pickup.  I can fit three

in the back seat and whatever I can get away with in the bed.  Just a simple

matter of a reasonable and convenient meeting place for the pick-up.

Perhaps by the shuttle stop in the main parking area with a post-it note

saying KITFOX on your forehead?  Anybody have a suggestion?

Print out the map on the link below.

If you want me to pick you up, my cell is 989 736 8264.

Hope to see you there!

Gentlemen,

  The map is incorrect!!!! Proceed down 20th ave. as shown on the Google map. Turn LEFT on Oregon St., go 6 blocks and the bar is on the left. Trust me, I live here. If there is anything I can help anyone with before/during/after the show please feel free to contact me. I would also be able to transport anyone that needs a ride Wednesday evening.

I hope to go to that, Deke. I'll be parking my MH somewhere for the  

duration, and will call you if I'm still there on Wed.

I've been told of a camp closer to the flight line, so I'm gonna try 

that one this year....if it doesn't work out, I'll go to Scholler. I'm 

planning on starting out early Sunday morning, but as our friend Duane 

might point out, that may turn into a late Saturday departure. (I 

sometimes get too antsy waiting for the "green flag" and need to get 

some distance between me and home.)

I wouldn't count on getting a decent spot at any of those flightline camps

at this late date Lynn.  I've talked to people who get in "weeks" ahead of

time.  Might get lucky though.  If you take a bicycle, anyplace in camp

Scholler is close.

Right you are, Deke....yeah, almost forgot about the bike thing. In 

fact the bike that I have was purchased right up there near OSH, while 

Duane and I were out cruising around, charging up the MH 

batteries....say, I'm thinking of taking the ferry across...any words 

of wisdom? I took it from Wis. to MIch. back in about '87, so I'm 

familiar with the drill, but that was with a car, not a small motorhome.

Can't help you on that one Lynn.  I know some people take the ferry, but I

don't know from where or how much or where it goes.  I would think when you

factor in the waiting time and cost of the ferry, you might be just as well

off to drive around the bottom of Lake Michigan and right on up to Oshkosh.

Just a thought.

I just Googled "Lake Michigan Ferry" and got a ton of hits.  You should be

able to find out what you need there.

I just went to the S.S. Badger site (Ludington, MI to Manitowoc, 

WI...four hours) and found out that it is a ~$280 round-trip for me and 

my MH...not cheap, but factor in that "orange cone" drive through 

Chicago, and it might be money well spent....am I getting old when I 

start thinking about saving wear and tear on the old bod/brain by 

spending money? Must be....gonna wait until I pick up the Trip-ticks at 

AAA tomorrow, then flip a coin.

I made this trip a few years back in a car and it was a nice trip and a change of pace.  Plus I didn't haver to deal with Chiago.  I don't remember it being this expensive.

For a motorhome, it is $4.95/ft each way. For even my small Toyota 21 

footer, this is ~$100 each way, plus a round-trip cost of $79 (senior 

price), for me. How they charge extra for the driver of the rig is 

beyond me, but they do.

While I can't make it this year I'm following this thread and making 

plans for my 1st trip next year. If anyone is willing to pass on tips on 

economic lodging/camping choices please advise me off line.

Thanks

Hey Lynn & Deke and other Michigan Kitfoxers headed for OSH.

  Don't know about the new "rapid" car ferry from South Haven to Milwaukee, but I've taken the S.S. Badger from Ludington to Manitiwok several times. Deke, you're right that there probably isn't time saved from going through Chicago, at least not on the Badger. And it isn't cheap either. But who wants to drive thru Chicago? And there's more to life than hurry and money right?

  If you've never ferried across, do it at least once. It's about a 2-3 hour cruise depending on the weather, which can get interesting. The Badger is an old coal-fired railroad ferry so it can easily take your motorhome. Lay out on the deck and enjoy the sun. Bring raingear and stay out on deck (practically alone!) during frequent Summer thunderstorms. Osh is about another hour from Manitiwok around the north shore of Lake Winnebago. There's a great maritime museam  near the docks in Manitiwok, which showcases WWII "Gato Class" submarines, many of which were built there.  Here's their website: www.ssbadger.com 

  Still trying to find a ride there and back early part of next week. Hopefully, I'll see you all at the big show.
