I'll be there again. Karen and Paul, its' fantastic that you are coming, me and my furkids would love to meet you! KayAnn, work on Lauren some and hopefully she'll drive you up I'd love to have you there again, but please don't get mad at Lauren if she doesn't want to drive to OH.

I'll bring name tags again, although not sure if that helped last time.

Looking forward to many, many pics! ......... wish I could be there.

[wolf_Q]

Wish I could go again! But it's not happening unless you all want to pay for me to fly. Just kidding.

[Crikit]

Man once again, feeling very left out and there's no way I could even attempt to make it. According to mapquest it's a whopping 3256.31 km away which translates to 50 hours, 3 minutes I get there late and then have to turn around.

[ramanth]

Sadly I can't make it this time.

But I know everyone will have a blast and I look forward to pics.

[Andie]

Guess who might be coming!!!

This time I'm working harder on Dustin! So


According to Yahoo Maps it's:
545.7 miles
and
8 hours 23 mins

but that's taking us straight thru Indianapolis, which is bad for us little country folk. Anyone know of a way to bypass there?
Thanks in advance!

[pitc9]

I may be interested in joining you!!

Do you have an address to the bark park so I could use mapquest and see how long it would take from my house!!

Thanks!!

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!

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 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!

After you look at the map -
You can click on "Driving Directions" and reference the Location you entered for the map, and your Home Address -
MapQuest will then display a set of Turn-By-Turn Driving Directions.

-----------------------------------------------

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..."

** Pay attention to Routes 23 and 15 -- (if you use the southern approach)!! It "looks" like the same road (actually a highway) with both numbers - but Not So! You leave Upper Sandusky (route 30) onto Ohio 23 and OMG! 23 just morphs into Ohio 15 as you get closer to the Findlay Reservoir.

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!

Mapquest still takes us thru Indy!
