About the accommodations: We stayed in the Audubon Inn in Mayville Wisconsin. This is the huge common area on the third floor, with a huge skylight and atrium. The hotel was originally built in 1896, and restored several years ago.

Huge custom stained glass windows are everywhere. This is looking down the atrium to through the stained glass ceiling of the restaurant/bar. The food was first class too, and not terribly expensive. Camping at Oshkosh is its own kind of fun, but this was very nice.
