Shut down your engine on the pavement and get a tow to your parking space.
They won't like it but ...

I did this and the woman who was directing me got frustrated that I couldn't
just drive the plane onto the grass with the propeller off.  Had to explain
to her that there was no power to the wheels - lol

Subject: [LML] Taxiing at OSH

Anyone have advice on how to avoid or at least minimize taxiing on the grass
after landing at Airventure.  The last time I flew my Propjet to OSH a few
years ago they quickly put me on the grass despite my gesturing objections
which made me very nervous with the prop clearance and bumps. I understand
that Joe Bartels bent his engine mount taxiing on rough grass.  I prefer to
go to or get as close as possible to aircraft camping though I would rather
park close to asphalt and "backpack" to camping if need be.  Anyone know if
there will be a Lancair parking area?

Gonna try to go for a night or 2 hopefully for the LOBO dinner but not
willing to risk the grass taxi again.
