There might even be a few new easter egg trees spontaneously fruiting, although I can't guarantee you'll find them.</P> <P>The plan is to head into the Tararuas on Friday night, so meet in the Hunter carpark at 6pm. Come along to the meeting this&nbsp;Tuesday to sign up, and to hear a bit more about what's happening, and perhaps learn a few more tips about using this wonderful website. If you can't make the meeting, send me an email on <A href="mailto:loganandr@student.vuw.ac.nz">loganandr@student.vuw.ac.nz</A> and I'll try and get you into a group.&nbsp;</P>
