Lake Orion, MI Bark Park - Saturday, June 30th

[ramanth]

For Kia's 9th birthday, I'll be taking the pups over to Lake Orion's Bark Park. So far the weather looks like it'll be nice... 77 degrees and sunny.

We're planning to get out there around Noon.

If anyone would like to join us, please chime in.

I wasn't really planning a large affair like in the past, but if enough people plan to show up, we could bring out the grill and a small cake.

FYI: They raised the rates of the daily pass for non-residents. $12 per car per day: Regular rate

They've enlarged the Bark Park in the past year or so. It used to be only Area B. Now they've added A & C as well as two small dog areas. Other improvements include a larger parking lot and restrooms.

I'm 85% sure I can come!! I'll know for sure tomorrow if somebody can work for me that day.

Here's the close-in MapQuest map of the "Orion Oaks Park" >>>



The Red Star is ON the Dog Park Entrance -
off Joslyn Road; a bit south of W. Clarkston Road.

It's about mid-way between Flint and Detroit;
about 8-10 miles due north of downtown Pontiac, Michigan.

Here's the directions from Interstate 75:

1) Get off I-75 at: the JOSLYN RD exit- EXIT 83.

2) Turn NORTH on Joslyn Road & drive 4.2 miles on Joslyn.

3) Dog Park Entrance is on the LEFT (west) side of the road.

If you get to W. Clarkston Rd or pass an Elementary School
on the right - you went a bit too far.

You CAN park in the Elementary School Lot - the NEW Bark Park Entrance
is just across the road from the school.

If you want Driving Directions from MapQuest;

After you get the Map; ask for "Driving Directions" and
enter your starting address.

Awwwe. I'd love to but S.O. already has plans for Saturday. I hope everyone has a great time!

[Kfamr]

Wish we could be there! Tell Kia to jump off the dock a few times in honor of Kiara and I.

[k9krazee]

It's official, I can come!

[ramanth]

YAY!! Who will you be bringing? Sir Humps A Lot, Shadow, or both?

[k9krazee]

Well, I was thinking about just bringing Sir HAL this time...but my family is going up north for the weekend and taking the other three so I might drag the old fart along just so she gets a chance to get out of the house.

Gosh, I so wish I could come but right now with the leg I don't think it would be a good idea
Have some extra fun for us!

Ashley here your going again and I'm gonna miss you You better make sure you come to another one of the Findlay meetings

[crow_noir]

I was discussing this with S.O. They are HIS plans and I'm not going with him. If anyone anywhere near me is going and willing to pick me up I could attend.

Awwwe. I'd love to but S.O. already has plans for Saturday. I hope everyone has a great time!

I'm wondering who all is going to this. I'm a bit tempted to try and make the trip. It looks to be a 4 1/2 - 5 hour trip. It would be a good way to take up a Saturday instead of sitting home getting even more depressed. I can't promise anything though. These days it all depends on my moods and if I can drag myself out of bed. Let me know who is going.

[k9krazee]

Ohhh Robin, that would be FANTASTIC! So far it's just me and Kimmy (and Chipper, Jack, Shadow and the birthday girl of course).

[ramanth]

So far it's myself, Andy, Ashley, and my two sister's and their pups. Amy (Cincy's Mom) and Phesina are a maybe and crow_noir might make it if she can get a ride.

Andy's parents who live nearby have offered to cook out.

Robin, it would be so wonderful to see you again. *HUGS*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIA!
