Pet Talk Meeting ~ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ SUNDAY, Aug 31 ~ BE THERE!

[Cataholic]

I still haven't rung in with what to bring...

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

[Karen]

Binx!

Oh, you mean besides him?

Well, maybe you should PM Phred or Cincy'sMom!

[4 Dog Mother]

DON"T FORGET THE TATER SALAD!!!

Staci, I won't forget the potato salad. Got the fixings for it today!!! Will probably bring some brownies too for the true chocholics!!
and the plates, napkins, paper towels, and doggies and doggy treats and......

[mugsy]

I think Tammy and Andy are bringing a veggie tray, but, I'm not totally sure. It seems like we always have plenty-o desserts but not much of the salady stuff. How's that for a suggestion Jo?

Hope you will be able to make it Robin. We love new people and poochies.

If I can manage to remember, we'll get some wet wipes or something like Purell to clean up.

Hi Again!

I live in Chillicothe. Would love to have some directions to the park. I figure its about a 3 hour drive. We are thinking about coming. It would be my husband, me and our 5 month old akita, Katie. I would love to meet everyone, especially all the fur faces!!

Thanks everyone....Robin

Robin,

Hey, Phred posted the directions on page 8 of this thread. I hope that helps. We usually meet at noon Ohio time. Last time I had a brain fart and forgot about the time change and we were late!! lol Mike and I are coming from Indiana.

Oh, do come! We'd love to meet Katie - and you, too of course! This will be the first Ohio Pet Talk meeting Paul and I have been able to go to (we're driving out from Massachusetts), so the more the merrier!

[Freckles]

And be sure to take lots of group people pictures! Last time there were lots of dog (and cat) pictures but not so many people pics.

[moosmom]

Oh yes, please come!!! I'd love to see Katie and so would MooShoo. I hope you don't mind non-fur kids. Moo is my cat/dog. He's actually a Sphynx who acts like a Chihuahua.

I'm also bringing a new friend...his name his Carl the Cone. I rescued hom tonight from a street corner. He'll be staying with me for a while.

THE MORE CHOCOLATE, THE MERIER!!!!!

BTW, will someone PLEASE remind me to give some money to whoever's permit we're using for the park? Last time I left without chipping in. I had a sick bunny with me so I had my mind on other things.

.. OH-104 toward OH-772/ S PAINT ST. 0.44 miles

2: Turn LEFT onto N BRIDGE ST/ US-23 BL N/
.. OH-159 N. Continue to follow N BRIDGE ST/ OH-159 N. 3.86 miles

BEWARE the 55 mph zones!! Smokey da Bear is *watching*!

9: Stay straight to go onto OH-15 West.
.. THIS is where US- 23 just "morphs" into Ohio- 15 West
.. don't do anything except keep driving straight
.. (and don't "follow" US-23!! It doesn't vanish -
.. 23 turns off to the north by itself.)

** NOTE what your odometer mileage is here as 23 turns into Ohio 15 !

Go about 7.5 to 8 miles on Ohio 15; then
.. SLOW Down as much as you can without getting trampled...

10: *watch* for a line of Pine Trees paralleling the highway on your right

.. *watch* for an advance sign for TOWNSHIP Road # 190
... the turn (a Right) is hard to spot at 65 mph...
... and it's NOT a high speed turn, either!!

Turn RIGHT onto TOWNSHIP ROAD 190. (a lil dinky 2 laner)

11: Go straight North on Twp 190 - go about 2 miles on 190
.. pass Twp 173
.. pass Twp 174 (on the right, only)
.. pass Twp 202 (a cross road)

.. to the STOP Sign at Township 205

12: Turn LEFT onto Twp 205; and go about 1 mile...

13: Turn RIGHT (north) onto TOWNSHIP 244 - go about 1 mile to
.. the STOP Sign at the Tee intersection with Township 207

14: Turn LEFT (west) onto TOWNSHIP 207...

.. you'll cross a lil Rickity Bridge;
.. and you're *looking* at the Findlay Reservoir! (The BIG Dirt Pile!)
.. turn RIGHT (cuz you have to to follow the road!)
.. then drive North beside the Reservoir for about 1/2 mile.

15: Twp 207 turns off to the left to follow across the north end of the Reservoir.

YOU drive STRAIGHT (now on TWP 208) and Enter the RiverBend Park

16: SLOW Down when you see "the Lodge" on the left...
.. pass "the Lodge" Building and turn LEFT into the Parking Lot.

"Our" Pavilion # 7 is the first one on the right
after you enter the parking lot.
