  Tim, I was with Mike when we took the kids at Shelbyville Lake around a
course to show them the ropes on finding a cache.
 Depending on the date, I would be happy to help out.  Bernie.

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
forhelp. I'm not setting any dates, yet, just trying to get some agreement
inprinciple, 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
studentsto each person with a GPSr. I think 3 to a GPSr shoudl be plenty,
butI'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
outwhich 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,
dependingon the date)? 3) how many people (total - students + helpers) do
youthink 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
