Sure--I was trying to do that. Did I send it to the wrong list?

We can meet at about ten in the small parking lot near the swimming pool in McCollum Park--there's tons of parking, especially on Sundays--and walk/cache a mile and a half or so down to 164th St and turn around and come back. I can answer questions about finding and placing caches, trackables and sig items, the WSGA, events, etc. as we wals, and can send answers afterwards to anyone who gives me an email address.

I think you have to have at least a free membership to see the list, and many caches on the list are outside of the section of the NCT we will be visiting on Sunday, but you will be able to click on the names of the caches and get the coords orsend them to your GPSr.
