Sounds good - that is at least all of it but the 7:30 AM part!
:-) -- See you Saturday.

Steve B., Stephen, and Nancy, and anyone else who can help next Saturday;
I have most of the details now for the event. I have a final meeting Friday
afternoon, but none of this "should" change.
Barb Wilson (Mo. State Parks) and I will start setting up around 7AM
Saturday. We will either be under the big tent or have a table with a 10 x 10'
fly.
Parking will be available across the street from the Visitors Center (East of
the History Museum).
The first class is from 8:30 to 10, then a break for 30 minutes with the
second class from 10:30 to 12.
Lunch comes next from 12:00 to 12:45 and the last class is from 1:00 to 2:30.
I "assume" lunch is furnished but will know more after the Friday meeting.
The big tent and everything should be close to N38 38.680 & W90 16.990. This
area is behind the visitors center near Lindell and De Baliviere.
Now the details:
Everyone needs to be there by 7:30-7:45. Each of the 3 sessions have 20
people signed up. That is the max and there will be no walkups. We have 22
Yellow Garmins on loan from MO. Dept of Conservation, and I've preloaded all of
them with the WP's for the caches. There will be 3 (2 Tupperware and 1 ammo
box) placed within 1000' of the event and in 3 different directions. That way
we can break up into smaller groups and the other groups can't see other groups
or the cache location. All are almost terrain 1 and diff. of 1-1.5. By getting
there a little before the first session starts, we can go over how the yellow
Garmins work since everyone will have their own identical GPS to use. All the
caches will be stocked with give-aways so everyone can sign the log book and
take something from each cache. By showing them how to make a WP before
starting out, they can then use the GPS to go back to the table, TURN in their
GPS, and we'll have a bag for everyone with some goodies.
That's the plan, anyway.
Rich
