Well, according to Map Quest it's 35 hours to get to Findlay from here. [2,297 miles :eek:]
Sorry. :(
someone tell me--how far is findlay from me? (fort wayne?)
Just under two hours away *scratches head*
Under 2 hours - that's do-able, right? You gonna come? Huh? Huh?
Depends where you are in Fort Wayne. Mike and I are on the southeast side (close to Harding) and it's right at 2 hours. If you live on the west side (by Homestead) it would be closer to 2 1/2 hours.Quote:

Ewww .. 22 hours away from me. Maybe I should teach Reece to drive.
I'm basically 100% for sure we're coming... I'm not sute if Lauren is or not.
My dad asked me to write down the Name and number of the motel we stayed in last time, and he said this time we were going to get a non-smoking room so it smelt better in there.
I haven't talked to Lauren, my dad tried calling her but both her and my brother's voicemail picked up. So well see... Lauren, if you see this.. CHECK IN!!
That all sounds so exciting!! :( I wish I could go to a PT meeting!!
Just checked out the distance from me :eek:
Distance: 3803.5 km
Approximate Travel Time: 36 hours 22 mins
*Big sigh* Maybe someday!
Think there will ever be a PT meeting in Canada? ;)
That may be wishful thinking, Kay...Quote:

"Most" of the motels put Pets and/or Smokers in the SAME rooms.
You can "ask" - but don't be supprised if they say Pets can
*only* stay in "Smoking Allowed" rooms.

I believe last time we had the option even with pets... I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure it was the option.
It's a no-go for me and Tae. :(
My dad is going to be out of town and my mom doesn't want to drive all the way down there alone. :(:(
I'm so disappointed. :(
I need to see if my mom is off that day. Hopfully we can make it. I'll ask her about it. too bad, Elvis is too young, I would wanna bring him! -Whines-
Oh well, If I can come, I'll come dog-less! :p
As my mom said, Brian, Jasmine, and I will be there! As far as the girls, the way it's looking, we're going to have to bring them up to Ohio and if so, Sierra and Dakota will definately be there with us. Not sure on Destiny yet though since she can be kind of ouchy with other dogs. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how the rest of our trip goes before we make that desicion, which could be a last minute one! As far as driving time, I would guess about 21 hours since Aly said it's 22 hours from her and we're only about an hour north of her! But, since we're going through Mississippi to stop at Brian's mom's on the way, the total actual travel time would probably be longer because I think that way is a bit more distance as far as road covered!!!! Anyways, somebody from Texas will be represented!!!!!!
OMG....this is so exciting! I am going to get to meet so many new people. I can't wait to see you all. I am dying to see little Jasmine! Oh how precious!
Robin :D

lol, Aly!!!!
It's about 6 hours from me, and it's not looking *great*--we do also have 2 other possible things to do that weekend, one involving family.
Oh Emily you have to come!!!
Christy's coming.. awesome!! :D
It's a 39 hour drive from here.. YIKES! -sigh- one day..
Until I get my driver's license and the patience to sit in the car for 39 hours, you'll all just have to take pictures for me. :D
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO!!!!! I didn't think we could make it because Roger's niece is getting married on the 29th. His sister is coming from North Dakota for the weekend. I figured Roger would want to visit with her but he said we could go if I wanted to.
Does anybody from the area know or any reasonable hotels? With the two kids I think it would be better if we stayed overnight one night. And since hubby has been off of work for the past 5 wks. after his heart attack money is a little tight. We need something cheap but safe. I don't think we will be bringing any dogs. The kids will keep us busy enough. Does anybody object to me bringing the kids (7 yrs. and 15 mths.)? If so I won't come. I don't want to take my kids somewhere they're not wanted (it's not fair to them) and I won't spend that much time away from them.
Steno might come? = :cool: !
Lodging around Findlay, Ohio?
Here's the list of Motels the Chamber of Commerce has on their web site >>>
Comfort Inn
Country Club Inn & Suites
Country Hearth Inn
Cross Country Inn
Days Inn
Econo Lodge
Fairfield Inn
Findlay Inn & Conference Center
Findlay Motel
Hampton Inn
Hawthorne Suites
Holiday Inn Express
Knights Inn
Ramada Inn
Rodeway Inn
Super 8 Motel
TownePlace Suites by Marriott
You can do a http://www.google.com search for the Motels to
get to the Corporate web sites - they often have "1-800" numbers
you can call for rate quotes.
And *think* about WHEN you want to stay in the motel -
? Long drive then Dog Park with the sleep-over on Sunday night ?
or
Drive, sleep-over Saturday night, then Dog Park followed by
long drive home?
or
Sleep-over 2 nights?
KIDS? - Why not!?
Just remember - it IS an OFF-leash DAWG Park ;)
The Young'un WILL need to be "supervised" when IN with the Dogs!
But there are a LOT of areas the 7-yo can enjoy outside of
the dog park - within Easy Walking distance...
Play Areas with jungle-gym equipment.
And we have a *nice* covered Pavilion rented -
just outside of the Dog Enclosure.
HOPE y'all can make it!
/s/ Phred
I came home to pieces of paper with Hotel names and numbers, and prices for dogs on them. along with the park registration agreement -- and the dates "28th, 29th, 30th" written on one.
Pretty much positive we're coming!! :D
Steno--
We stayed at Super 8 Motel last year. It's no the fanciest motel, or the best, but it wasn't bad at all. It's also very easy to find the park from, and there's tons of fast food places RIGHT there you can eat at. KFC is in walking distance.
I am so jealous, Kay! I want to go, too! I would get to meet a lot of people and dogs that I've really been wanting to meet. Guess we can't do everything. I just checked. I'm off the 29-31st.
Hmm. How long does it take to drive up there? I'd have to head back on Monday. I could leave Friday night after work. Would have to stop home to pick up Duke.
It takes maybe 16-18 hours... depending on traffic. It's not bad at all.
Now my dad's talking about camping. He said we could borrow my mom's boss's camper type thing (one of those that attaches to the truck) and Kenny & Lauren could drive in their vehicle. If Lauren is able to come... also, I believe Lauren's parents have a big tent that the two of them could sleep in..
How hot is the weather up there? I'm all for camping... but if it's going to be hot, i'd rather not.
Anyone know of good camping sites in the Findlay area which allow dogs? And in my preference has a lake? ;)
I just looked on weather.com and it said the average high for that weekend is 74-75F.
and I just searched for capsites in OH...
Found this one it's around a hour or so away from Findlay (according to yahoo) It seems nice, just wondering if any of you know any closer? Not sure if they allow dogs, but it is a must that they do, of course.
All of the other ones on koa.com are 2-3 hours away.
I've been searching on the net for campsites.. been finding ones within an hour drive. Which isn't bad at all. all that i've written down have showers/electri/pets allowed. and a few with lakes :D
My dad called the previous one I posted about and they said it was $37.50 a night. Which the last one I searched for said a fee of $15-$19 on their websites, showers/lake/electricity/pets allowed. 1 hour and 8 mins from Findlay. :)
I don't know too much about the campgrounds, but you may check Van Buren State park. I know there is a campground there. There is also one just north of Findlay (right near my mom's), The name escapes me. The other one I can think of is in Vanlue, fairly close to Findlay and about 1/2 between Findlay and where Staci lives in Upper. I think that one may be a KOA, but I'm not sure. I will do some searching and see what I find...
This is the one i'm really interested in...
http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/indianlk.htm
It's only around a hour and a half away..
It says limited pet areas, ad I wouldn't want to go to that one if the dogs weren't allowed near the lake or something. I'll have my dad call them later. :)
Here's a link to Van Buren State Park (dogs permitted)
http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/vanburen.htm

Van Buren offers a campground with 40 non-electric sites. A multi-use campground at the east end of the park offers 38 non-electric sites for general camping as well as horseman's camping.

Thanks Amy!
I'll show my dad these when he gets home. :)
Campgrounds?
The Visit Findlay site lists these Campgrounds >>>
Heritage Springs Campground
Pleasant View Recreation Campground
Shadylake Campground
Sulpher Lake Campground
Twin Lakes Park
Van Buren State Park
And Hancock Park District allows "Primitive" Camping -
right across the road from the Bark Park.
But I think they ONLY allow Tents -
don't know if you're allowed to "set up" and use mobile Campers.
And... :p "Primitive" means NO "flushin" potty or showers! ;)
Check with the Park District >>
Hancock Park District WEB Site
If you're considering any of the Ohio State Parks -
be sure to RESERVE Early - they almost always "Fill UP" on
Memorial Day weekend!

I can't come...another let down for me again! :(
My mom is working for someone else that week, because its graduation. This sucks....I really really wanted to go. :(
We will have another one soon, will we? :(
Any chance someone could pick you up on their way through, or would your folks be uncomfortable letting you go with "strangers"?
One of the campsites my dad was looking at (and really liked) was in St marys....... If I remember correctly, that's where you are, right Amber?
Possibly we could pick you up or meet you somewhere.
(just a thought, nothing for real... have to ask my dad)
Yes Im in St.Marys. I do know of a campsite. It's by the lake. Extremely close to me...just a lonnng road away! (kinda) :)
Hmm.....I would have to ask, but it wouldn't be possible. My parents would prolly feel really uncomfortable with it, but I can ask, if possible.
If we are over that way, maybe *if possible* we could just come and meet you guys -- and you could meet Sim,Nala, and Honey. :D
That would be awesome!
Are you guys staying at the campsite? If you guys are it would be neat to bring the dogs to the beachy area.
