I never said you weren't into it.
Ay...now I'm just lost. :(
;):p:o
I know it's very hard to leave loved ones when there is a loss of someone close to them so I completely understand that Brooke. :) I just hope you all are coping with it okay though. If you come that would be great though.
Foxgal, we're not cancelling. We would LOVE the chance to meet new people and dogs as well as introduce a new park to you and your dog(s). By you I mean you as well as everyone else. :)
We were just thinking about maybe next time. :) We're all going to have lots of fun either way! :)
KayAnn- I have a shelter reserved at John Chestnut...it's been reserved since I think Jan or Feb. If you want to still stay at Anderson with those tables I can go ahead and cancel for John Chestnut. Just let me know. Either way will be fine for me. The only thing is that the shelter isn't RIGHT next to the dog park, but the closest safest (as far as traffic) one.

I like John Chestnut much better, although Anderson is easier to get to (as far as people who don't know the area) The park is much nicer.
I'd much rather go to John Chestnut.... but we'll have to post different directions and all.
We can go ahead and do John Chestnut, if Fox-Gal and anyone else who plans on coming is fine with that asl well.
Ok, JC Sr Park's dog park is bigger too! Just let me know. :)
Okay, so is everyone else fine with the change?
If so... i'll get new directions.
Assuming we are able to make it, that change is fine. :)
TO JOHN CHESTNUT SR. PARK
FROM KNIGHTS INN JUST NORTH OF U.S19 AND NEBRASKA INTERSECTION
Go Southbound on U.S.19
Go through Nebraska Road
Turn left at the next light which is Tampa Road.
Go through 3 traffic lights
Make a left at the 4th traffic light which is called East Lake Rd./McMullen Booth Road.
Go past McDonalds and through the traffic light.
Stay in the right lane
Merge with traffic coming from your left side.
Get into the left lane.
I believe there is only 1 or 2 traffic lights.
The park entrance kind of creeps up on you. There will be a small turn lane to turn left into the park.
If you get to the traffic light with the 7-11 on the corner you've gone too far.(that traffic light is about 100 feet past park.)
Follow signs to Shelter 5
FROM TAMPA/HILLSBOROUGH AVE:
Hillsborough Ave. is the same thing as Tampa Road.
Continue onto Tampa Road going Westbound.
Pass Lafayette Blvd./Race Track Road
Pass St. Pete Drive.
Pass Commerce Blvd. (flashing light)
Pass Pine Avenue.
Pass Forest Lakes Blvd.
Pass Shady Oaks Drive
Stay to your right when the road somewhat forks. (to the left is Curlew Rd.and to the right continues Tampa Road.)
Go through East Lake Woodlands Rd.
Make a right at the next light which is East Lake Rd./McMullen Booth Road.
Go past McDonalds and through the traffic light.
Stay in the right lane
Merge with traffic coming from your left side.
Get into the left lane.
I believe there is only 1 or 2 traffic lights.

Follow signs to Shelter 5.
If you are coming and would like my cell phone number in case you get lost or need to stop anywhere and get off track or just want it for emergencies, just PM me and I'll PM it back to you. Thanks.

You're very welcome! :D
Thanks for the directions. I was wondering, can I get to the park from the CrossTown Expressway? I have to make a stop before I come that way and will be on the Crosstown, so if anyone knows, it would make it easier for me. If you can just post the address of the park, I can do a map search and figure it out.
Also, just wondering do one of you know if the CrossTown has another name? When I did a search for it Yahoo, couldn't find the Cross Town!! I know it's there, I been on it to many times for yahoo to tell me it's not. :confused:
Thanks.
John Chesnut Sr. Park
2200 East Lake Road
Palm Harbor, FL 34685
is the address Fox-Gal.
As for the Cross Town Expressway, I've never heard of it and I do a lot of traveling in Florida. Where about is it located? Does it run North/South or East/West?
I'll try to look it up.
I found out it's called State Road 618 or Lee Roy Selmon Crosstwon Expressway...i'll post more info with directions from that shortly.
Well no wonder I couldn't find it, I never knew it was Lee Roy. Thanks for the help.Quote:

Ok, well I am gonna look again. BUT the only thing I can see which would be the easiest way is somehow get on
HIGHWAY 60 from the expressway. It might be an exit since for some part of the way they run parallel right next to each other and then cross each other.
US 301 N to 60 could work too! and 301 is perpendicular with the Crosstown (618).
BUT to be honest I would take I-275 to Hillsborough Avenue and then follow the other directions from above. The other ways just end up making directions a lot more difficult to follow. PINELLAS COUNTY AND HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY ARE CRAZY WITH TRAFFIC. :) I'll leave it up to you and get back with me and maybe we can work together on directions.
You're welcome! :)Quote:

Oh do I know that, we had to spend weeks there, when Pauls mom was in the hospital over there. The roads are crazy and some of the people too. I never so gald to get back to my lazy town. LOLQuote:

I'm going to look up whats will work best then and maybe I will just go the other way and forget my stop till later.
Thanks for the help. Also if you can Pm with someone cell #, just in case I have problems like last time.
Thanks again and i'll see you Sat. You wont be able to miss me, I'll be the one with the loud car. LOL :(
PM sent with number. Hope you figure out a way here! :) Seeya on Saturday!
Thanks, I got the numbers and figured out my best route to get there.
I didn't relize it was that far, It only takes me 2 hours to get to Tampa, but yahoo says almost 3 to get to there. It's not that far out from Tampa is it? Of course Yahoo take people the long way around. I do know a few back roads to cut some time off, thank goodness. I might be late though. LOL
Also my friend is not coming now, their having problems with the weekend home. So it's a repair weekend for her. At least now I have a excuse not to help. THANKS. :D ;)
Well, to the center of tampa it might only be 2 hours, but to get to the actual East Lake area, which is where the park is, it might be an extra hour with all the traffic. There's a chance it might be less...like 35-45 minutes. It just all depends on what traffic you hit. Hope it is the lesser of those times. :) Call if you need too, I have free incoming calls 24/7 and free weekends anyways. :)
Only 1 day away!!
Everyone HAS to be almost positive if they're coming or not.. so please let us know!!!!
I won't be able to make it now kayann!
JUST KIDDING!!!!!!! I'll call you tomorrow. It might be cheaper to get hot dogs and hamburgers, cheese, etc. We'll talk then. :D
I knew it was a trick. :p
Yeah hot dogs/hamburgs probably will be cheaper.
Is there a girl right there by the pavillion?
Yeah, there'll be four of us...plus honey and nala so that makes 6!!!
Yeah, I'm sure there is a grill right by the pavillion. There always is atleat one, if not two. :)
Yippee! We're going to have so much fun. Too bad ol Duke can't have any hamburgers or hot dogs. We're both going to be pooped Sunday evening when we get home. I haven't told him that he's going anywhere yet. Figured I'd do that tomorrow.
Duke & Valerie are here now and sleeping.
Not so sure about Brooke or Amber -- but Libby are you still coming?
We're all up here.
We bought 6 hamburgers and have a package of hot dogs as well as buns and cheese, Ketchup.
We bought a few liters of soda and a few bags of chips.
I hope you guys show up.:(
We just got home from the park.
We had a blast!!! LOTS of pictures.
I want to thank Libby VERY VERY VERY much for coming, I really appreciate that. She brought along Brandy, her MinPin. :D
Pictures to come later!!!
I guess we've decided not to hold any more meetings.
I'm very happy Libby showed up and standed by her word.
It's just too much hoping that people are going to show up, and then only 1 person shows. It's a long drive for Libby, but she made it and she kept her word to us.
This is the second time it's happened and it's a huge let down.
It's just going to be Valerie, Lauren, and I for now on, unless someone else wants to take the time and effort to coordinate a meeting. And possibly maybe Libby if she'd like to join us again.
Valerie told me that her and Libby were going to meet up at the mall sometime, and possibly Lauren, Val, and I could head her way and see her zoo.
I apologize if this offends any of you, but I find it very rude to drop out at the last second. I'd rather you not say a word, or tell us you can't come from the start then lead us to think you're coming.
Again, big thank you to Libby for coming!!! I enjoyed you and Brandy!! :D
Post the Pictures! Im excited to see them!
:D:D

To those of you who were at the meeting--
I'm sorry i didn't make it. My grandpa had a massive stroke yesterday morning and i spent half of my day with him. My mom didn't tell me why we couldn't go, or what we were doing instead, all she told me was not to post anything on pettalk until she knew for sure.
So i'm very sorry to the others of you who i may have let down for not coming...
Hopefully you will be understanding to this, if not please don't post anything rude, because i just can't handle much right now. I have already had someone made me feel horrible about not making it, but fair or not, family comes first.
So thanks again to those of you who are understanding.
I'm sorry you didn't make it as well.
I understand why you didn't come.
If you'd just imagine how I feel.
Kay,
I do understand how you feel. I would feel the same way if someone said they would be there and ended up not coming. But it's not something i could have prevented. If i could have, trust me i would have, because everyone is worried and crying here and i can't stand being around this right now. So if there was anywhere i would have rather have been, it would have been at the meeting. But it wouldn't have been right leaving to go off to the meeting when my grand father is in the hospital.
