I think I can take Feather from 82IS (15mi NW of Schaumburg) to Ft. Wayne, IN (KFWA) to get her moving east.

I have drivers lined up already (they were quick to respond too!) that can start in Elkhart IN. Can you get her from 821S to Elkhart by chance? Then the driver can pick up at the airport and get right back on 80.
That would be helpful! We have an opening from Willoughby OH to to Buffalo PA. That is the next space I don't have drivers for yet.

Thank you!
Amy

Hi Amy,

Yes, I can do that leg to Elkhart, IN. When do you hope to do this? Will dog be traveling in a crate, and if so, can you let me know the crate size?

John-
Can you email me off line? I'll add you to my driver list so we can keep in sync and make sure we know weather, etc.
Thank you! Below is what I think would make sense for your leg, but I don't know airports. I just selected KEKM which is the Elkhart Regional Airport. Used Skyvector though so its 110 nm and hopefully I got that right:) The puppy will not be traveling in her own crate (foster can probably send one if you need it though and get it back from you another time..she lives in Hoffman Estates). She was 18 pounds at the vet Friday, so she should be around 20 pounds by next weekend. She travels good in the car so we are expecting her to travel well. Foster may give her some dramamine which will help keep her quiet (safe for dogs).
Oh..I have the driver in Elkhart leaving there by noon Eastern time, so you have until 11:30-11:45 or so to get there.

Leg 0 – By Air
Huntley IL to Elkhart IN
110 nm, 1 hr 10 min
Leave 9:20 am Central time
Arrive 11:30 am Eastern Time
82IS (15mi NW of Schaumburg..Huntley IL) to KEKM

Closing this out as it was done with a mix of Pilots and drivers!
I just realized I left it out there.
