>>>>    - If we have few people, we do one group, and that group go after

>>>>    - If we have a lot, we can do team on different geocaches, and try
>>>>    to see which team is the fastest
>>>>    - Eventually, we can take some time for a beer / coffee together at
>>>>    the end.

>>>> In terms of organization, this is how I see things :
>>>>
>>>>    - The geocaching party must fit into a morning. We all have things
>>>>    to do during the week-end.
>>>>    - People should be able to bring their folks / friends.
>>>>    - This should be advertised on meetup well in advance and on our
>>>>    wiki page.
