It looks like they are getting close to being done? There are no more holes, but mounds of dirt like they just covered up the work. So who knows. :-P

How to Get MapQuest Directions TO the Findlay Bark Park
http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif
Some "revisions" to the MapQuest Directions & Routings
http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/confused.gif Why, WHY, WHY can't MapQuest just leave things alone? http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/mad.gif
Every year they like to "adjust" things ... shift the number ranges on a street ...
change a routing ... or just change stuff for the heck of it! Grrrrr!
I'll reprint the previous How To - and change a few things to try to catch up
with MapQuest's 2009 changes. Believe it or not, the Dog Park hasn't moved -
but MapQuest would certainly make you think it moved!
--------------------------------------------------------
How to Get MapQuest Directions TO the Findlay Bark Park
OK - Here's how to get your MapQuest "Directions" with Turn-by-Turn Instructions ...
Use the Click-Link (below) to get to the basic MapQuest map of the
Dog Parrk >>>
http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Fi...:::::1:1:1::/e
Just below the RED Star and the Dog Park Address;
see the line starting with "Directions TO Above Location" and a fill-in block
labeled "Location - Adress, City, State, & ZIP"
Here's where you fill in your STARTING Location.
Hit *ENTER* and MapQuest will pop up with your customized driving route.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the Bad News - the DETOUR :eek:
NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSURES
Detours to Riverbend / Brugeman Lodge
Marion Township – Hancock County , Ohio
Road construction projects this fall east of Findlay in Marion Township
requires a detour that Riverbend Park visitors should plan ahead of time.
- Bridge closing on Marion Twp. Rd. 241 leading into Riverbend Park –
- Starting August 17, 2009 and extending through December 2009, Marion Township Road 241 will be closed from SR 568 to TR 208 for the new wooden covered bridge project at the Blanchard River . TR 241 is the main park entrance into Riverbend Recreation Area.
From the West: (You'd be driving east on SR 568 out of Findlay)- The designated detour route is available via TR 234 just west of the SR 568 bridge (3-mile bridge) Detour signs are posted. Turn south (RIGHT) on TR 234 to TR 207, then turn east (left) on TR 207 around the Findlay Reservoirs to TR 208. Turn north (left) on TR 208 in to Riverbend Park and the Brugeman Lodge & DOG PARK will be on the west (left) side of TR 208.
From the East: Follow SR 568 driving westbound.- Detour signs are posted at the SR 568 bridge (3-mile bridge). Turn south (LEFT) on TR 234 south to TR 207, then turn east (left) on TR 207 around the Findlay Reservoirs to TR 208. Turn north (left) on TR 208 into Riverbend Park and the Brugeman Lodge & DOG PARK will be on the west (left) side of TR 208.
An alternate detour route: Follow Detour signs on SR 568 East past TR 241 to TR 245, turn south (right) to TR 207, then west (right) on TR 207 to Riverbend Park.
PLEASE NOTE: TR 208 (“River Road”) that runs along the Blanchard River will be closed effective 8-25-09 at TR 234 and TR 241 per the Hancock County Engineer's Office.
Note: The rebuilding of the SR 568 and County Road 236 intersection
will NOT be started before Labor Day weekend according to the ODOT project engineer I spoke with. Both of these roads and the intersection will be open to traffic.
ONLY the Township Road 241 bridge closure will effect Dog Park traffic.
----------------------------------------------------------------
IF you want to use a GPS or another Mapping Service - here's the Dog Park Address:
16500 Township Road 208
-OR-
Township Road 207 AND Township Road 208
Findlay, OH 45840
GPS Coordinates: (WGS 84)
N. 41* 01.941'
W 083* 33.691'
The Dog Park is INside the Hancock Park District's "Riverbend Recreation Area";
about a half mile south of Ohio Route 568;
and just north of the North-East Corner of the big Findlay Reservoir.
The Reservoir is on most maps - and stands out because it is drawn as a
Big SQUARE Blue Lake; south-east of downtown Findlay.
If ANYONE has trouble with the Route to the Dog Park - PM "Cinder & Smoke"
with your E-mail and Home/Starting Address.
-------------------------------------------------------
OK - so what changed?
The DETOUR caused by the reconstruction of the "old, rickity 241 Bridge"
probably won't be shown on ANY mapping program or in-car GPS.
* BE PREPARED: No matter where you're coming from, Map Quest will probably
show a different route for the last 10 - 15 miles - different from last year's route.
NO route is really much better than another --- miles are about the same
and drive time isn't drastically altered.
If you think your mapping program or GPS is really sending you around Robinhood's Barn -
send me a copy of the route and I'll look it over.
As always, the PT Travel Bureau will be open all day on Sunday -
Just a cell phone away! We WILL get you to the Park! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/wink.gif
Call Phred's Home or Cell Numbers - whichever you know - they both *ring* the Cell Phone.
/s/ Phred
>nudge<
There was a notice in the paper today that said the Dog Park was re-opening on Sunday. As Monica reported one half will be closed to reseed -it also said that only one dog per person is allowed but of course, you are not hearing that today - maybe Monday or Tuesday I will tell you about that part of the article.
Looking forward to Sunday!
Psht... they lied. They said up to ten days and TODAY is ten days.... so we'll bring however many dogs we want. Lol
Do you think that they'll be there policing to see if everyone only brings in one dog knowing we'll be there:confused:
I really hope not.
I think I've convinced myself to just not worry about it!Quote:

We can pay 'em with good grub!
I have some college friends that I could possibly whine to and make them come.... IF we need them. Lol I'm not worried about it either. I only see a sheriff there every couple of times I'm there. They just drive by and they can't even see if anyone is angry or disobeying or anything.
Tori, Zack and I are going to try and come. I've lost my old directions though so I need to try and figure out the stupid mapquest ones. I hope I don't get lost!
Yeah Robin! When I saw you posted on the thread, I hoped that you were saying that you'd be there!!!Quote:

Here's a NEW Link to MapQuest ...Quote:

the Detour is built in.
OK, NOW I'll show the *link* :rolleyes:

Drive Safely!
I have the zucchini bread in the oven right now! See you all tomorrow:D
Yaaaay I'm excited. :) I have to run to the store tonight! :)
We are bringing corn on the cob. See everyone tomorrow!
Anna, I love the new signature!!
We will be with you all in spirit! Have a wonderful time, and take lots of pictures! :)

Just checking in to see if Ya'll are home yet. How did it go with those
with more than one dog?
We had rain all day long. Sun finally came out at 5pm.:)
Well, We are home from the Dog Park Meeting. Dazzi, Taggert, Pippi, Tucker, Carl and I headed out to the Dog Park about 10:20 thinking we could get there ahead of Phred and his gang so we could help him unload his card. But he was already there waiting for us although I don't think he beat us by much and we were still able to help get things unloaded. Christy with just Dakota and Jasmine and Dominic were next (boy here kids are cute! - unbiased as I am). Amy, Ralph with their 3 were the next to arrive followed by Anna with Roxey, Huney and Simba, Robin with Tori and Zach, Monica, her husband and Remy (boy is Remy cute!!!!!). Staci and Keegan were the last to arrive. The Meijer store was calling to her so she had to make a quick stop there before joining us. We had a great time - the weather was beautiful, the company wonderful, the food scrumptius. We had no trouble at all at the Dog Park. Early on a Ranger stopped and talked to Phred and never brought up anything about multiple dogs being there. I guess as long as no one complained about us, he wasn't going to say anything either. A few hometown people came out but some of them also had two dogs so they really weren't going to complain about our dogs.
On to the pictures:

That's about all I took this time. Had a good time talking and eating though!
I have pictures! But I was busy studying after this. (Had to leave early because U of Findlay still has school tomorrow :( :( :() Soooo, I've been studying. I will update pics as soon as possible. :)
We had loads of fun and good food. :) I enjoy seeing all the dogs and how they're doing. :)
Wonderful pictures Diana! Monica, it was really nice seeing you, your hubby and that sweetie pie Remy again!
As usual we had a great time with lots of good food and good friends.
I have to say, this time I'm not sure who was cuter...the dogs or the kids. I got lots of pictures of both!
Unfortunately I don't have time to post them all since I'm due at work in about 25 minutes so here's the link.
Hope you enjoy seeing the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them:D

Another beautiful day at the park! Enjoying seeing everyone's pictures.
I took some pictures, but seem to have deleted most of them off my camera. My mom has a program to recover them, so I am going to leave the card alone for now and try not to loose anymore. SO look for pictures coming later this week...
Was thinking about you guys all day - wonderful pictures! So nice to see all of your beautiful faces again - love the pic of Anna, Staci, Robin, & Christy on the bench! Holy cow, Dominic is so grown up! What a cutie! I agree with Diana, they sure are beautiful kids. Will have to go check out the other pics & check back here again. Roxy & Tori, we send you sibe vibes from the coast - be sure your moms give you girls a big hug from me! Love you guys, wish we were there too!
Great pictures everyone!! :cool:
