Nathan,

The only time you have "too much" is when you are on fire!

Bring more! :)

Just got off the phone with Enterprise and have a Trail Blazer standing by at the airport. So if anyone needs a lift to/from the hotels or has to run to town; it'll be there for ya. Wonder how many miles we could put on it in 4 days? :P

I was doing some rough figuring:
Fly Champ: 14 hours round trip at 4 GPH= $300
Drive pickup at 18 MPG = $283
Drive Pontiac @ 28 MPG =$182

But then, it would be a heck of a lot better to fly around Chicago rather than drive thru Chicago. Anyway, weather will dictate how I get there and return rather than cost, I guess.

The answer looks obvious to me, fly the Champ for $300 of course! That's the most mathmatically logical choice right? :) Definitely the most fun per dollar!

Is anyone flying to the convention from the upper midwest area (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Twin Cities area, etc. )? I wouldn't mind hooking up with someone and flying down. Tenatively planning on starting out either Weds or Thurs (9/10) depending on weather. Being somewhat retired has it's advantages.

Also, scheduled for annual on the Champ tomorrow so hopefully everything will work out there.
