Jess,

Glad to hear about the positive experience at Mt. Vernon. Most chapters, if
not all, do not possess such luxuries. You might be able to hook up with an
agency, private firm, or university to assist in your needs. Otherwise, you
could consider renting from your neighborhood rental outlet. Also, you
could contact a civil engineering or survey firm and they might be willing
to give a class on the subject or work with you in other capacities. Good
luck and keep the interest rolling along!
