DONE!!!!! 2 Labs MO to CA

Post by deeogee1 » Tue Nov 17, 2009 8:43 pm

I know this is a very long distance, but with the holidays approaching I thought I'd post it. If anyone is traveling any part of the route, perhaps it is possible to coordinate with ground transport the rest of the way. These are 2 seniors (7 years old) who are owner surrenders and are black. That's 3 strikes for a shelter dog.
A 501c3 Lab rescue in CA has offered to take them. So I'm just seeing if there are transport options here.

Thank you!

I can fly Grand Junction CO to Ely Nevada. Time is open. Pick good weather. I can overnight the dogs if needed.

Thank you--I'll be in touch. We're working on a ground run sheet, so I'll get this added.

I live in Kansas City and could go 150 miles either side of KC.

Thank you, Sarah.
I will also be in touch with you as I get these offers lined up on a run sheet. :D

You pilots are awesome! With some ground support, this could actually work.

Hello, yes I could fly to Cabool to get the labs. I know that you are wanting to wait until it's closer for December for this flight. I'd prefer to do it during the week, if that's at all possible. Weekends don't work well with my work schedule.

Please give nearest airports to Willets.

If you still need a ride by December 18 or 19, I will bring them from MO (nearest airports?) to CA, preferably Santa Barbara if that works.

Re: Two black Labradors in MO going to CA:

The airports you list near Willets do not have long enough runways. Our plane needs 5,000 to 5,500 feet depending on conditions, preferable 5,500. If you have the time, please look up airports near Willets and near you in MO on airnav.com, or skyvector, for runway lenths.

Also, please put the three letter airport ID.

Thank you. Margo

Wow--that's a very generous offer, Margo. Thank you!
At this point we have transport between Cabool,MO & Denver on Dec 1. Looking for a few legs to fill to finish the trip on the 2nd.
Options to hold them until the 18th are very limited. Do you fly out of NY or CA?
