Black Otter 2019!
Black Otter 2019!
Wow, how did Oshkosh sneak up on me so quickly this year???
Who's in for Black Otter 2019? What day works best? I rather liked Tuesday last year. Only downside is <not> missing out on the Van's banquet.
Thoughts?

Re: Black Otter 2019!
This will be my 8th Oshkosh, 7th in my RV-7 and 6th consecutive! I don't recall if I went to The Black Otter my first year - I drove in from Chicago and only spent one night (CJ's tent in Camp Scholler
).
Let's make it Tuesday. Who's got rides, and how many can you squeeze in? Right now for attendees I have:

I’ll have the Queen of the Fleet there, but may just have one free seat. I’m going to assume Eric S will be attending as well.

Re: Black Otter 2019!
What time at the Otter?
I have room in my car for 3. I usually take CJ since nobody else can put up with him for that long!

Re: Black Otter 2019!
What time to meet at the Black Otter?
Re: Black Otter 2019!
Aiming to arrive 530ish?
There might be a slight issue....they claim they didn't order enough prime rib
. I am going to call them when they open at 4pm and let everyone know. We have a few alternative places picked just in case.
