Search & Rescue team needs help with event Feb. 28-Mar. 1

[tjs1963]

This is not exactly a hiking event, but I would say it is "hiking related," particularly if any of you ever get lost 

My canine search & rescue team (North Alabama Search Dog Assoc.) will be having a seminar the last week of February, Thursday Feb. 28 through Saturday March 1.  There will be approximately 50 dog handlers and their dogs and instructors coming in from across the US for this seminar.  We will be having it at Camp Anderel (Girl Scout camp) in Rogersville, Alabama. This is between Athens and Joe Wheeler State park, just off Hwy 72.

We need "subjects" for all 3 days to "get lost" for our teams so that the dogs can work and train.  If you are interested in doing this for one, two or all three days, please email me and I can give you some additional information.   It's not hard work.  There won't be alot of hiking involved.  More sitting actually.   The weather will be ??  But, unless the weather is severe (lightning, etc) we will work.  The pay is great - you get lunch and dinner if you want to stick around after the day's activities.

My team's website is: North Alabama Search Dog Association, if you would like to go and see what it is that we do and learn a little more about us. 

Thanks!
