We've gotten a lot of *votes* - with only a few supporting posts.
PLEASE - when you *vote* - also *POST* your vote so we're sure we
include everyone who wants to come.

But if you can't possibly come (on either Sat OR Sun)...
*please* don't cast a vote.

And if one day is really GOOD; and the other will mean you can't come...
Be sure to SAY that!
Some of us who can be flexible and don't "really" care - would be happy
to *change* our vote later to accomodate folks who can only come on one day.

That said ~

*Finding* the Dawg'z BarkPark in Hancock Parks - Findlay, Ohio

For you Out-of-Townerz trying to find the BarkPark ~


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".)

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 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 [in the Upper-RIGHT corner of the
MAP] 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!
-----------------------
NOW - when you finish lookin atta Maps - you can ask MapQuest
to Calculate Driving Time, Mileage, and a
turn-by-turn set of instructions...
*Click* on "Driving Directions" and fill in
your Home Address...
MapQuest will do the rest!
