13 gallons at 4 gph - I'd call that a "Yep."

You can go the shoreline. There is one airport north of Chicago (Racine
WI?) whose CDAS extends out into the water, but you can go around it to
the south and then swing north. You can also fly beneath the CBAS
around/over Chicago then north and follow the DuPage River north to the
highway and on to OSH. Clow International used to have a nice restaurant.

It looks like I'd cross Gary CDAS between 3100' and 3600,
below 3000' within 15 nm of ORD, follow shoreline until
greater than 15 nm of ORD, then west of Waukegan or over it
between 3200' and 3600' and on to Oshkosh.

Vintage puts you in with one nice bunch of people, North 40
puts you in with a different bunch of nice people. If you camp on the
north side of R9/27, you are within a half-mile walk of multiple stores
and restaurants (food, supplies... Pick N' Save groceries, Target, etc)

I'd planned to camp Vintage, but it looks like the North 40
might have some advantages. Where is Vintage located?

I am waiting to see if Kodak offers such a service this year. There is
certainly enough demand for it. There are enough laptops on the field,
it is finding someone with a card reader attached that could be a challenge.

I figured I'd bring the USB reader and CD's, then all I'd
need is someone with the burner and a USB port.

Thanks for the tips.
