Thursday (7/23)  We left Governor Dodge State Park this morning for Oshkosh, WI.   Along the way we stopped at the Circus World Museum and Circus.  This museum has a large display of the highly carved and colorful circus wagon that used to be drawn through towns when the circus arrived.   They have all been restored and are beautiful.   They also had a demonstration on how to train a tiger.   It was very interesting to learn that they have to train them in 15 minutes segments each hour as that is as long as their attention span is.   The trainer said he looks for the tiger cub that is getting into everything - that is the one that will train the best.   It take two years to train a tiger for a show.  They had a small circus and the performers were excellent.   They displayed amazing strength and talent.  

From there we drove on to Oshkosh to get set up for the air show.   We were quite surprised to see at least four to five times the campers already here over last year.  The actual air show does not start until Monday but this place is getting busier and busier by the hour.  There is a motor home from the 1950's and it has been completely restored.  It is absolutely beautiful (see picture.)
