Hi Michael



I am not sure what kind of girly mosquitoes you have where you are, but up

here in Canada where the mosquitoes regularly have transponder codes and

have been known to clean out blood banks, we prefer our DEET in the 95%

variety.

I spoke to the people I will be staying with today and asked about the

mosquitoes. My friend John said that they were bad this year. If you are

camping especially, I suggest you get the real stuff.



For the newbies, I also strongly suggest good head gear and a sunblock with

a double digit SPF rating - something appropriate for the surface of the

sun. The tarmac at KOSH can cause brutal sunburn. 



Hydration is also a big concern. I bring a camel back that I freeze

overnight (you can also fill with ice) that keeps me cool during the day.

Bottled water at KOSH costs 3 times as much as AVGAS so be prepared. Usually

there is a water truck just outside the main gate as well as a couple of

water stations on the grounds where you can get *free* running water to

refill your water bottles.



I would also bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer as the biffies don't

always have hand wash stations nearby. 



Cheers
