All I know about that is you have to register a domain name. www.cvc.com is already taken, but cvcachers.com and centralvalleycachers.com would be an option. Depending on where you register, you could get software included such as frontpage where all you would do is drag and click any pictures, frames, text, into their position and it converts it to HTML. Some registering websites I googled are: www.register.com, www.godaddy.com, www.alldomains.com. You'd have to pay a beginning fee and then a monthly fee. Well that's all I know about that (i guess I should have paid more attention in computer science class in high school) . I'm sure there is a book for dummies out there that will help... No, I'm not implying anything at all.... Quote Link to comment

M&M Lovers are profiling. Good thing I'm hear to keep you all in line. Hey, Last night I made a cache that I think will drive folks nuts. At least, that's the plans.

Any quick and easy caches that are located in semi interesting spots that I should look for. Near the strip or the old part of Vegas (Fremont St.) Nothing complicated, no long hikes, tricky is good, creative is good, touristy or historicall is very very good. I'm not sure if I could find a cache unless I tripped over it. Not to many, maybe 5 or 6.

They only want people enjoying the parks in the method they want you to enjoy them. Rock climbing and leaving spikes in the rock however is allowed! And don't walk below the climbers unless you're ready to see a lot of trash... humm, perhaps that would make a good CITO Gathering!! Edited March 25, 2005 by Green Achers Quote Link to comment
