  Ok Rich, I've got it cleared to help you this Saturday.  I'll be the before 
7:30 and come to the big tent looking for you.  The three caches that you are 
hiding, is there any bushwacking involved or is shorts and sandals ok to wear?

    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
