Yay I'll be sure to have some cash on me too for the tin. Lol I don't usually carry it.
Karen, I'm so sorry Miss Hoppy's not feeling her best. :( I'm sure with you 2 taking care of her she'll be feeling better soon!
You'll be missed!
I'll be sure to get a group photo together!
You can PM me the recipe. I'll try my best to get them made for the picnic!
I'm going to be camping this entire weekend, and have lots to get together this week, but I'll sure try to make time to whip up a batch of your cookies!
Will do! Like I said, they keep really well, so you can make them any time, and they'll be fine for Sunday! :)
I just had to go back to this post and add, for those who didn't see it last year that Miss Sierra, who refused many "common" dog treats, delicately accepted and munched down one of these cookies, to her Mom's surprise!
Karen, I'll be in your neck of the woods right after Memorial Day, for a quick overnight business trip. I get in Tuesday the 27th at 3:45pm and leave Wednesday evening at 7pm. I'll be staying in Woburn. I don't know if I'll have any free time, but if I did, will you be around Tuesday evening?
Yes, we'll be around! We can meet you in Woburn, even!
Unfortunately, I may not know until that evening. I'm travelling with someone else from work, and so i may not be able to get away. But if I can figure something out sooner, I'll keep you posted!Quote:

:( Sorry guys.... I'm not going to make it again this year.
My hip is really bad and I'm using a crutch, which is affecting my bad wrist. So my doc advised I not make the trip in case of an emergency. It's always something. I'll be thinking of you. Don't forget lots of pictures.
Awww ... NUTZ! :(Quote:

Looks like it's going to be a GREAT day!!!
Mostly Sunny High

Woo hoo, glad you can make it Robin. It's been awhile since I've seen you and I am looking forward to seeing for myself how you are doing.
Boo,hoo, K9Karen, Karen and Paul that we will not be seeing you this time. Was looking forward to meeting K9Karen and to seeing Paul and Karen again. Hope you all can make the Labor Day one.
The weather is suppose to straighten out and be warm and not rainy - yeh, although it may be a little muddy from all the recent rains. Will try to check out Thursday or Friday.
See you all soon!
big hugs to those under the weather and unable to come including Miss Hoppy- just extra gentle ones to her.
and a wahhhhoooo to Robin!
I'm glad it was 'just' a nasty tire!
Karen, I'm sorry you won't be able to make it and hope you can find some relief from the pain soon!!!
Yeah Robin!!! I'm glad you will be there!!!
(or was it the start of old age.....) I'll be there.
Last year I completely forgot about the entire weekend (Sunday and Monday) until Monday evening.
I was curious who was going to be around on Monday. We'll be staying the night and heading back over to the park. I believe Phred got the pavilion. :)
Yay for leftovers! :D
Karen, sorry you're not feeling well. :( Take care of yourself!
Yay Robin! *hugs*
that's it -Quote:

SunBall is scheduled to be hangin around most of Sunday & Sunday night ...
Maybe a lil 'misting" might fall on Monday ... but the Weather Guessers keep
changing the Monday forcast every few hours. We've been 'misted on' before!
Ya'll Dive SAFE!!
Does ebberbuddie KNOW where they're going?
Got you old Maps stuffed over the sun visors in da Bus?
(Check NOW - not Sunday mornin!) :p
All systems go for me and Mapquest to the Motel seems purty straightforward. Your prior directions (thanks Phred) seem A-OK as well from Motel to Pav #7. I'll just "listen for the BARKS". Oh, and yuk on leftover Klams. What don't get ait on Sunday ain't gonna hang around for Monday :rolleyes: :D WHOO HOO
The South Carolina "girls" are already gassed up and will be heading north at 6 AM on Friday. Got my GPS set for the Red Roof Inn.
Bella and Scruffy will occupy the back seats.
See you there:D
All systems go http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...6th/driver.gif
Maps and directions printed out - thanks again, Phred; going out to wash the car soon; will fill up with http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...cons/thgas.gif (after taking out a loan!) on Saturday. Really looking forward to meeting all of you, and your critters.
:confused: Why, WHY, WHY can't MapQuest just leave things alone? :mad:
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 2008 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 From and To page for MapQuest.
**WAIT** till the page fully loads - or you'll goof up the pre-filled data!!
When the page finishes loading - you'll have TWO big data blocks -
the one on the LEFT asking for your STARTING Location;
the one on the RIGHT >> Already FILLED IN < with the Dog Park Address.
If you have it - do NOT use Microsoft's "AutoFill" - it will put your home address
in BOTH blocks - erasing http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif the pre-filled Dog Park Address! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/mad.gif
JUST fill in your Home or "Starting" address in the LEFT (STARTING Location) Blocks.
Here's the "Revised for 2008" *Link* to MapQuest >>>
(The MapQuest directions are "usable" just as they print out from MapQuest.
They MAY NOT "match" landmarks I've posted in the past. :(
MapQuest Directions To: Findlay, OH ~ DOG PARK
OLD (2007) MapQuest Directions To: Findlay, OH ~ DOG PARK
(This link stops a mile or so short of the Dog Park)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
IF you want to use a GPS or another Mapping Service - here's the Dog Park Address:
16500 Township Road 208
(note the number was previously "16000 Twp 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 street number changed from 16000 to 16500 - to make the
MapQuest "star" sit closer to the actual Dog Park on THIS year's map.
* The new MapQuest *LINK* uses the new 16500 street number.
* 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.
Use whatever you're comfortable with or remember ... there aren't ANY roads or bridges
that are closed ... and I've driven ALL the various routes that MapQuest can suggest.
NO route is really much better than another --- miles are about the same
and drive time isn't drastically altered.
GRACE:
If you reprint from this "New MapQuest link";
what they show should match what I told you.
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 & Monday -
just a cell phone away! We WILL get you to the Park! ;)
/s/ Phred
Phred - I brought up the new map in a new window, and compared it to the old one I had already printed out. They both get us to the end result, so we should be okay. And I have the directions that you gave me a few pages back. I also have cell phone numbers - yours and Staci's.
So we should be good to go.
Phred...one thing I can't get over is the fact that Mapquest tells me to take 271 south to 71 south through Mansfield to get to the park!:confused:
Actually, it sends me through Upper Sandusky too!!
Hey Staci, want me to pick you up! :p
Silly Mapquest!
I'll just stick to the directions I've used the past few times.
Can you say TURNPIKE!! :D
I really, really, hate to post my bad news.:( We won't be able to come
this time. I've figured & figured, but I just don't have the money for gas
this month. I feel awful, but hope you all have a wonderful time & then
share it all on PT. ( I'm still doing the sun & fun dance for you guys):)
Check your "Preferences" on MapQuest!Quote:

The I-71 South to OH-30W then north on OH-23 & OH-15 is about 30 miles MORE in distance,
but SAVES almost 15 minutes in driving TIME. Then you need to figure in GAS mileage. :eek:
That northern / Turnpike route goes through a LOTTA lil hick towns with
much lower speed limits than the southern / all expressway route.
Will that also include the "Senic double-loop through Norwalk" this year?Quote:

Phred I've tried that along with other things and I can't get Mapquest to give me directions using the turnpike and it just won't!
Never fear....no double loop through Norwalk this year! :D
So the big weekend is almost here! I hope you all have a GREAT time!! Sunny and I would love to join in next year ;)
I got the oil changed on Monday, printed the directions off today, have promised Jonah new movies to watch on the long trip up, will pick up fruit on Saturday, and move on out on Sunday.
Can't wait!
Just fyi: if you use google maps, you can "drag" the route line provided to a different road if you want & it will rewrite the directions.Quote:

Will be looking forward to lots & lots of pictures (and one of the new memorial trees, please?). Drive safely & have a great time, everyone! :D
We are really ready now - just bought a brand new car!!
holy crap!Quote:

Wow Pat, now THAT was cool!
Thanks!
I'm so sorry for those that can't come.
You'll all sure be missed!
:(
The wings are polished
The car is packed
I leave on Friday
And won't look back!!
So sorry for the ones who can't make it. I was hoping to see you. Maybe another time.
Oh-Hi-Ho here I come!!! Lord knows, it will never be the same!!! ;)
3 DAYS!!!! :D
Sorry to hear about those not able to make it. :(
Better be there next time! :p
