[Cinder & Smoke]

NOTE**** PREVIOUS POST is for CLARA ONLY!!
She's coming from Buffalo, New York -
EVERYone else disregard that route - you'll get **LOST**!
=================================================

CLARA ~
Pick up an OHIO State Map at the Info Booth
on I-90 when you cross into Ohio!

And ADD these details to the above post -
suggest you print both the previous post and this one.


23. Turn RIGHT onto OH-568. (0.50 miles)
. . (You'll be headed WEST towards the City of Findlay)

24. Turn LEFT onto TOWNSHIP HIGHWAY 241. (0.16 miles)
. . There's a "Hancock Parks / Riverbend" sign here;
. . and you can see an "Antique, Rickety Bridge" that you'll cross over.
. . Cross the Bridge and you come to a STOP sign at Township Rd 208.

25. Turn LEFT onto TOWNSHIP HIGHWAY 208. (0.63 miles)
. . See "Riverbend Rec Area" sign as soon as you turn Left onto Twp Rd 208
. . Drive past a "Ranger Station" on your left and the road will force you
. . to turn 90 degrees right.... slow down!

26. Turn RIGHT into the FIRST Driveway / Entrance to "the Lodge" -
. . a New & Fancy Pavilion/Meeting Building that sits close to the road.

"Our PT Headquarters" Pavilion # 7 is the First Shelter you'll be looking
at as you enter the parking lot.
There are also small, yellow signs for the Dog Park.

NOTE: to see & Print a Detailed map of the Findlay & Dog Park vicinity...

Start with www.MapQuest.com
*click* "MAPS"
Enter this location in each box:
Address = [ Township Road 207 AND Township Road 208 ]
City = [ Findlay ]
State = [ OH ]
Zip can be left blank

You'll get a SUPER Zoomed-in map showing a corner of the Findlay
Reservoir (Looks like a Square, Blue, Lake) with the "Lacation Star"
about 1/4 mile south of wher the Dog Park actually IS.
The Dog Park is about where the [208] box is on this map.

ZOOM - OUT 1 step at a time to see slightly larger areas..
Twp Rd 241 is labeled if you get the Zoom & Centering "just right".

Pay Attention to the MapQuest MILEAGE at each step

If you "ask" any of the "Natives" for help - you're going to
the Hancock County Park District's "RiverBEND Recreation Area" -
"east" and a touch "south-east" of Findlay (and in Marion Township).
Another Landmark is the "Big Findlay Reservior".
