Hey....
Could somebody please post directions/address to the Dog Park? Remember we're total "out-of-towners" here so please make them easy to understand, lol.
Also Cincy'sMom...could you give me directions to that "Great American Mutt Show" on Saturday? I think we may be going...my aunt/mom would go mess around in Toledo and drop us and the dog off there for something to do.
Take I-75 North to exit 157 (Route 12)
Turn right. You'll go through a few lights across RR tracks and then a few more lights. At the first major intersection (Main St.), Turn right.
Go through 1 light. At second light, turn left (SR 568, also called Sandusky St) Stay on this all the way through town. It will go back and forth between residential and commerical. You'll pass the fairgrounds, Blanchard Valley Industries and come to a light by Brinkman's Farm market. Keep going sraight, you're getting close At this point there is mostly fields and big new houses. 1-2 miles further out, you will see a Twp. Fire Hal on the right. Shortly after that is TR 241. Turn Right.
At the stop sign Turn left.
Follow the curve around. Dog park entrance is on the right.
It's really easy to get to, Amy gives awesome directions!

You're looking for the "K-9 Field of Dreams Dog Park"...
Located behind Pavilion # 7,
inside the Hancock (County) Parks "Riverbend Recreation Area"...
Just SOUTH of Ohio route 568...
ON Marion Township Road 208...
about 5 miles South West from downtown Findlay, Ohio.
If you follow the instructions below (from another Thread) -
You can see and/or Print (must use a color printer) a series of Very Detailed area maps that show all the local Township, County, and State roads. You might want to shift (left & right; up & down) slightly to see all the township road Numbers and Names on the zoomed-in maps - but the zoom-in detail is excellent!
And ALL the important intersections *DO* have signs with either the Road Name or Number!! But read the WHOLE sign! As you get close - ALL the signs start with "MARION" followed by the road NUMBER! (Dad wuz thunkin there wuz a Lotta roads named "Marion".) :rolleyes:
If you ask someone for directions - be sure to say "RiverBEND" Park - there are several other little parks in the Hancock Parks District with names starting with "River..."
On most highway road maps, the Findlay Reservoir appears as a rather large, square shaped Lake - south-east of the City of Findlay. Good Landmark! The Dog Park is within a quarter mile of the north-east corner of that Reservoir!
Go to: http://www.mapquest.com
Click on their *Maps* link - you'll get a fill-in-the-blanks form ~
In "Address/Intersection" -
type in "township 207 AND township 208" (without the quotes).
In "City" put Findlay; in "State" put OH;
no Zippy Code required.
MapQuest will pop up a super-zoomed-in little map -
shows a square corner of the reservoir and the two roads Twp 207 & Twp 208... Just about where the "208" block is shown is almost *Zaktly* where the BarkPark iz, just below or south of where Twp 208 hangs a 90 degree turn to the left (west)!!
You can use the "Big Map" clicker to blow things up and cut down on the ads showing... then Zoom Out to get a better idea of "where" you are.
Zoom out slowly - too many jumps and you'll be seeing half of the USA!
Use the MapQuest "Get Directions To This Location" clicker just above the map border to get turn-by-turn directions from any starting location you enter.
Thanks for the directions!! Hopefully we won't get lost! :o
I must be the only person who has/never will get to go to one of these :( Depressing. lol
No I have a feeling I'll never be able to make it to one either..so don't feel bad.
don't worry schlepy, I feel like I won't be meeting any pettalkers anytime soon. I may meet Jynelle and Jordan in the summer but it's still a bit unknown now.
Why not arrange a Canada PT meeting?
I still wouldn't be able to lol. Most ppl live in BC or ontario which is far from me. I'd have no way of going out and my dad wouldn't allow me to go by myself anyway :(
PT meetings...Cool!
Wish I could go but most likely I live far from everyone here.
Amy- Here are the directions to the Mutt Show on Saturday.
It looks like your hotel is just off Trenton Ave. So from your hotel, go West on Trenton (US 224) to I-75 North
Follow I-75 N approx 33 miles to I-475 (Exit #192)
From 475, Take exit 6, Salisbury Rd/Dussel Dr.
Turn Right on to Dussel.
Go straight through 1st light (McDonald's on corner) Turn left at 2nd light onto Ford (BP on corner)
Go to stop sign. Turn right. This is Indian Wood Circle. The Humane Society is about 1/4 -1/2 mile ahead on the right.
If someone would like to arrange all the details (location and such) I'd go. I'm not sure how many people are in this area of bc though.
Hey you silly Canadians...when two people have posts that say BC...how far apart could you possibly be? I am not being sarcastic..I mean seriously, I just don't know.... Like, Cincy'smom and I are four hours apart, though we both live in Ohio..but, joyceandalex and I are maybe 1.5 hours apart...so, all you weirdo Canadians...how far apart are you guys? Naomi lives in BC, doesn't she? I will help plan your PT get together....
Anyone within the lower mainland would be NO MORE than about an hour apart, and that is a very generous time slot.
From there, to get up to where Jynelle and Jordan are, it's about 4 hours driving from the lower mainland.
Cricket is about 10 hours away, being in Calgary :) Hehe.. that's a BIT far ;)
When visiting the mainland, I'm either staying in Newton or in Cloverdale. I would only be about half an hour away from Binka there.
EDIT: considering how close the lower mainland is to the Seattle area, it would be silly to JUST have a BC meeting.. because there are quite a few PTers in the Seattle/surrounding areas. It's about 3 hours from Seattle from the US/Can border.
I'd love a little pt meeting around here but the trouble is that I can't drive yet and my mom isn't keen on driving me hours away. I'm lucky if I can get a ride to school lol.
You should make another thread for all of the Canadians to see...... and for it doesn't confuse me lol :p
Dad is calling the motel where Amy is going to be staying right now.. oh my gosh!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Anyone know the address of the park!????
It's on town road 241 is all I know.
We're going mugsy so get Serenity ready!!! :p :p
You do realize that she is going to be way spoiled since this will be her second trip in a row and there are some that haven't come yet. You're responsible for telling the ones that don't go why they are being left behind! lol
Oh yeah....if it has rained as much in Findlay as it has here be prepared to get muddy. I think I'll wear my oldest nastiest stuff. I remember the first time we went, I felt like had had a mud bath! lol
Hehehe!!!
Which others are coming again? :D
Oh my gosh KayAnn, you're going???????????? SO COOL! Amy will be beside herself with excitement :)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take lots of pics, PLEASE! :D
That is not a request, its an order!
YES! We're going!. Dad, I, Simba and Nala!!!
I'm trying to find Amy's number right now so i can get a hold of her!
I need a pic of Nebo, Nala, and Simbutt together :)
When are you leaving? Why am I so excited that all you guys are leaving and I don't get to go!!?? Our chats are going to be dead now :)
I'm not sure when we're leaving... I'll have to ask dad.. He's outside on a smoke break (Do you think all of this is going to give him a few more gray hairs - or in his case make a few more fall out? :eek: Sorry dad!)
Well, now that Serenity is going again, I'm not quite sure. Shawna, Vonney, Sammy, Rinney, and Dio haven't been yet. Some like Dudley, DeeDee, Tigger, and Baby can't go for one reason or another.
How about Serenity, Dio, and Sammy?
Then on Labor Day Shawna, Rinney, and Vonney will come how's that? I have to make sure Mike is ok with those choices, but, what does everyone else think?
Oh and we are bringing a box of brats (NOT little snotty kids like Staci thought) lol and buns and charcoal.
KayAnn ~
PM me your E-mail Address - and I will SEND you the MapQuest map...
-or- go back ONE Page in this thread and Read the Cinder & Smoke Instructions on how to get and print the MapQuest map.
Short version is from Downtown Findlay you head East on Ohio Route 568.
*watch* for "Marion Township Road 241" - a Right turn.
On Township 241, you drive across a rickitey old bridge to a Stop Sign.
Turn LEFT on Township Road 208;
and Enter RiverBend Park;
drive past a Ranger Station on you left;
208 bends 90 degrees to the right (south);
and the Bark Park & "The Lodge" entrance is to the right just after the bend in the road.
Our PT Pavilion (#7) is the first one inside the parking lot on the right.
Thanks Phred...
I think we pretty much got the directions ok... Plus we're staying in the same motel Amy and her group is staying in..
Findlay Park, right??? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I live in Ecorse and the directions I was given put me on I-75 SOUTH to Toledo. If someone can either correct me if I'm wrong and give me the exit number, or I can call Kimmy and have her meet me at the end of the exit like last time.
Can't wait guys!!!
I'm bringing chips, salza, cheese & crackers and maybe some cookies. I'm flat broke this week.
Se you Sunday around noon.
Homemade salsa??? YUM!!
I can't seem to get the weather website up, I went to weatherunderground and got Sunday's forecast....
Sunday
A chance of thunderstorms in the morning...otherwise partly cloudy. Lows in the lower 60s and highs in the lower 80s.
Says the same thing on weather.com ... lets hope it doesn't storm!!
