Does anyone know of or is a HydroCAD user who would be willing to help get me started?

I have, I learn better from someone teaching me than just reading a doc. LOL
There are videos, etc. on YouTube on the subject

I didn't say I didn't have the skill, I just have a developed sense of self and understand how best I learn. You don't need to add to a thread if you are not part of the solution. I appreciate your opinon, and as someone who has worked with and directly under engineers for the last 10 years, you already sound like one. Have a great day.
Documentation is the lifeblood of engineering; specifications, technical descriptions, etc., are all going to be written out in gross and gory detail. As someone once, said, "suck it up, do the work."
From an information density perspective, a physical person "teaching me" has extremely low density, and invariably, they're only able to cover the least common denominator, insofar as lesson material.

As someone who is an "experiential" learner and who uses a number of analytical tools (not HydroCAD, as I'm not a Civil engineer), I can understand where you're coming from, Megan.
However, the best way to get experience is by doing - so read the paperwork, follow along through the case study examples and understand what they're getting at, and try a few of your own to see if the answers make sense. You can always check by going back and doing it all by hand the hard way.
