Greetings all.  My, life has been hectic (and still is) but I'm hoping
to be a bit more active in geocaching, rather than just letting things
tick over.

I'm now the IT department for Thomas Jefferson School (a private jr
high/high school in south county), and I'm getting invlved in school
life.

I'd like to do a (one off for now) group hunt with students who would
like to, keeping it in the south county area.  However, a group hunt
with only one GPSr (mine) would not be much fun, so I'm asking for
help.  I'm not setting any dates, yet, just trying to get some
agreement in principle, plus any ideas, before I formally suggest the
idea to the rigth body within the school.

My thoughts so far would be to assign 1 or 2 students to each person
with a GPSr.  I think 3 to a GPSr shoudl be plenty, but I'd prefer to
keep it to 2 (student plus SLAGA member).  I'd do all the prep with
the students prior (to get them accounts on gc.com, and to work out
which caches to go for).  Once a list was set, I'd ask volunteers to
load their GPSrs with the waypoints. SUggestions for good caches to
try would of course be welcomed at the appropriate time.  And if
anyone felt that they would like to *place* a cache specifically for
this, that would be pretty cool too.


So, in short:
1) Do you think this is a good thing for SLAGA?
2) would you (personally) be willing to help (in principle, obviously,
depending on the date)?
3) how many people (total - students + helpers) do you think would be
a good maximum so it's not unwieldy (also note that we'll probably
have a few additional members of staff, and we will also probably have
use of the (small-ish) school bus for getting around)?
4) any other suggestions as to how to organize such an event

Timothy
