I don't know about all the cachers you mentioned in your orinal note, but I do no that Jeepster is from the Peoria area, but he does get around when he is out caching. If you are wanting to get a group of cachers together while you are in town, a few of us here in the Peoria/Bloomington area might be able to get down there if we would know when and where. I don't know my way around Springfield very well, but I suppose I might be able to use my GPSr to get me there.
