East Coast PT'ers & others, would you be interested in...

We usually drive out for the Memorial Day weekend Sunday gathering. Not interested in camping, but I'd love there to be a lot of Pet Talkers at the Memoprial Day weekend gathering as that's when we can be there and meet everyone!

I'm hoping to do this for the Memorial Day weekend meeting as thats the biggest meeting, the one I really want to go to. I just wasn't sure if it was going to be on Memorial day again this year or not.

I just wasn't sure if it was going to be
on Memorial day again this year.

Well ... we haven't really "Officially" decided yet ...
but in years past the Memorial Day (Sunday) Gathurin at Findlay
has always been the Most Attended of all the Gathurins held at Findlay.

The Holiday is on Monday - giving most folks a THREE-day weekend counting
Friday, Saturday and Sunday - May 27, 28, and 29th.
This allows the Long-Haul Travelers to drive on Saturday and Monday,
and have all day Sunday to Meet, Greet & Party in the Park!

Another "possibility" for a Camping Trip + Dog Party would be the
Fourth of July weekend. This year (2006) the "Fourth" is on a TUESDAY -
so some companies will offer employees a FOUR-day weekend -
Saturday through Tuesday - July 1, 2, 3, & 4th.

Findlay, Ohio, has LOTS of motels;
and there are several CAMPsites, RV Parks, and State Parks within easy
driving distance of the Dog Park.

One thing to *remember* about Tent Camping ...
this is OHIO - Land of "Strange" Weather!

It's not unheard of to have SNOW falling on Memorial Day!

We're (usually) past the Snow Season by the Fourth of July.

I want to go...but I hear that planes don't fly dogs that time of year...

I've never heard of that but then again I don't fly either. lol

I don't know where in Canada you live, but if you live close enough you can drive to NY to meet me & we can drive the rest of the way together.

And I thought NY had strange weather. lol
It sometimes gets cold here Memorial day but I don't ever remember it still snowing.

It snows there till July??? You have got to be kidding me? It has to at least stop by June at the latest I'd think.

I would love to come! I was thinking about going to the Memorial day meeting already and camping would be cool so I didn't have to drive back in the dark! I LOVE camping, don't know how Jack would take to it though...

Yeah camp with us!!! Even if we just get a few of us together it'll still be fun!

Do you have a crate for Jack? I'm bringing Kaige's crate because this will probably his first time tenting it. lol I don't know how he'll react either but he has to get used to it. I camp a LOT!!!!!

Oh my gosh I WOULD LOVE to do something like that but unfortunately I live in the midwest so that would be a little hard hehe. But ahhh how fun does that sound!! I LOVE camping, Jamie LOVES swimming and it would be so cool meeting everyone and their pups!!

This camp site sounds pretty nice:
http://www.koa.com/where/oh/35157
It's only $26.00 - 32.00 per 2 person tent. There's no extra fee for pets. It's about 50 minutes from Findlay.

That does sound pretty nice! 50 minutes isn't too bad of a drive. We can always car-pool too if need be.

I have AAA and I *think* they offer discounts at KOA campgrounds. I'll have to check.

The price isn't too bad either. But more campgrounds charge per site not person. Most campgrounds allow at least 2 tents pet site. IF money is an issue for some people we may be able to find a site like that???

15 minutes from the zoo!!! Wow, I'll need to find a dog sitter for a day!
