Interstate 75 DETOURS ~
Exit #157 / Ohio Route 12 EXIT is CLOSED
for Southbound I-75 Traffic!!

This will effect Karen & Paul, MoosMom, all the Michigan Gang ~
Anyone who uses I-75 Southbound to Findlay!

1) Exit I-75 at Exit # 161 / "Highway 99"

2) Turn Left heading EAST onto Highway 99

3) Cross over (straight thru) North Main Street
4) Cross over set of Railroad Tracks
5) Highway 99 bends right - follow it
6) then Highway 99 turns off sharply to the Left - DON'T turn with 99...

7) Continue STRAIGHT onto "Highway 212"
8) Follow 212 (Cross Highway 18; pass Bright Road)

9) 212 changes from 4-lane to 2-lane...

10) Follow 212 to STOP sign at Highway 236
11) TURN RIGHT onto Highway 236 (you're going south, now)

12) STAY ON 236 going south...

You'll pass through 2 stop lights, 1 at Sate Route 12 and 1 at US Route 224. At the 224 intersection there will be a Walmart on your right (just a point of reference).

Continue south on 236 until you come to a STOP sign.
At this point 236 T's into the side of State Route 568.

13) Turn LEFT onto OH-568 follow OH-568 to the east...
.. you're in the "country" now ..
.. go about 1.5 miles and *Watch* for two
.."Hancock Parks/RiverBend Park" signs on the right

14) Turn RIGHT onto MARION TOWNSHIP HIGHWAY 241.

15) cross a "rickity old bridge" to the Stop sign.

16) Turn LEFT onto TOWNSHIP HIGHWAY 208.

17) Enter the RiverBend Park...
... Drive past a Ranger Station on your left
... The road turns 90 degrees right

18) Slow Down - turn Right into the Bark Park & "The Lodge" parking lot,
... just after that bend in the road.

"Our" Pavilion #7 is the First One on the right inside the parking lot.

SPECIAL NOTE:
There is some "confusion" on "terms" used by MapQuest ...
They confuse "County Road and County Highway"
with TOWNSHIP Road and Highway"... !
It doesn't matter!!
The Important thing is The NUMBER (99, 212, 236, etc)
NONE of the NUMBERS are used twice (Thanks, God!!)

When you look at MapQuest - "County" and "Township" road numbers BOTH appear in lil Square Boxes...
No matter what *I* called it - if the Number on the sign matches with the turn directions above - You're on the right road!
"ONLY in Ohio!"

ANYONE...
Who wants a turn-by-turn MapQuest routing from their home ~
PM "Cinder & Smoke" with your request.
We'll need a "Starting Location" (Town Name, Zip Code, and the cross streets of a major intersection near your home).
Best way to deliver it is to your E-Mail (NOT a PM).

**Drive SAFE** Lotta Traffic out there this weekend!!
