I have a similar story. I have been to Oshkosh every year for the last 5 years. I always sleep the night before in a town about one hour flying time from Oshkosh, and then time my morning arrival to coincide exactly with the opening of the airport. Very relaxed and stress free arrival. There is nothing that will bring tears to your eyes like landing in Oshkosh the first time in an aircraft you built yourself. A very proud and emotional moment.

Subject: Re: Student pilot solo to Oshkosh 2006?
I learned something about OSH a few years ago.I really didn't want to fly into that beehive,so I chose to fly into Fond Du Lac. I left Mi. just before daylight and was calling in at Fond Du Lac about 45 min later, just before the tower opened. I tried there and OSH and there was no sound on the radio,no tower,no traffic. I was getting concerned about my radio when I was answered by the tower"cleared to land"for # ??runway. Nothing wrong w/ the radio. No one was up yet. I fortunately made a last call before diverting at precisely the tower opening time. We were the only plane in the sky and the first ones on the ground at Fond Du Lac. Piece of cake. It was no busier at OSH.
So, if you don't mind getting up in the AM,it is a pretty easy flight,or was that time. And that was opening day. Larry Huntley
