Puppies & 1 Dog need a ride to freedom - THANK YOU!!!!

[cmasiero]

Steve,

I am fine either way (KISO or KGSP).

The flight from KLKR to GSP is only 40 min so I can easily make 11a there.

Rosemary, It sounds like things are coming together:

Cristophe/Larysa take all 4 puppies from Lancaster (origin) to Greenville on Sunday, 11/25, connecting with Steve at 11 AM.

Steve takes all 4 puppies from Greenville to Leesburg, connecting with me and Tim at about 2 PM.

I take Hershey and Juilette Leesburg to central NJ (destination), arrive about 4:30.

Tim takes Noel & Rudy Leesburg to NJ and connects with Iceman 1007

Iceman 1007 takes Noel and Rudy to Providence, RI (destination).

I need to know the desired destination in NJ for Hershey and Juilette.

Tim and Iceman 1007 need to decide on the transfer point in NJ for Noel and Rudy.

No crates for transportation. Receiving rescues will provide crates for ground transportation.

Regards,

Tim:

How far North do you think you can get Noel and Rudy? Any chance that you could get them as far as Long Island?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Never mind my last posting (deleted now). I just saw Mel's last posting and it looks like we have everything set for the 4 puppies, but not Hercules. We can go with Mel's plan and, if possible, the location in central NJ would be Central Jersey Airport (47N). Please let me know if this works for everyone.

IF anyone can help us with Hercules from Kinston, NC to southern NJ, please let me know.

I appreciate all of your help and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

Rosemary

Rosemary,

Central Jersey is doable for me.

Not to throw a monkey wrench into things, but if you can get Hercules to Leesburg on Sunday, I could swap with Tim. He could take Hershey, Juliette, and Hercules to Central Jersey and I could take Noel and Rudy to meet Rich. My problem is that Rich wants to meet on Long Island, which would require a fuel stop for me and, since I'm pretty slow anyway, result in a transfer as late as 5:30-6:00. That's after dark and I'd prefer not to try navigating the NYC airspace in the dark. Also, it would be a pretty late arrival in Providence. So the way we have it now is best if all we have are the 4 puppies. But if we can get Hercules up north it would be worth it to save him as well.

Thanks so much, Mel. We can go with the plan as is.
I will work on transport for Hercules at a later date. He is in a safe place now, however we are trying to get him to his forever home. I'm sure they will wait another week, if necessary. I may have some pilots willing to fly next weekend.

Rosemary,

Good. I'll get out of the way and let you coordinate. For planning purposes, I wil take 2 hours to get from Leesbury (KJYO) to Central Jersey (47N). My arrival time at 47N will depend on when Steve arrives at KJYO. For planning purposes, if he lands at 2, figure 1/2 hour on the ground, I take off at 2:30 and arrive at 47N at 4:30.

Central Jersey is fine for me. Only about 15 minutes from the Flying W so it might make it easier to coordinate both pickups there. I can definetly fit 2 puppies and hercules if we can get him to VA.

Tim,

Rosemary decided to drop Hercules from this run. We're going with the original plan. You are carrying Noel and Rudy and connecting with Rich (Iceman) who will take them to RI. Central Jersey is my destination with Hershey and Juliette, but it does not have to be your transfer point. That can be anywhere you and Rich decide, just let Rosemary know.
