Ahh, much better now.
I think we should include the Illinois area.
I plan on going there when the heat goes away.

    Sorry.  Since someone asked how many caches are in 
    the territory, I decided to add some Perl script to the 
    page to display the count.  As a result, I had to change 
    the suffix from .html to .shtml, so the web server will 
    know it needs to parse the file before sending it out 
    to the browser.

        I like it. Not much of a beat & hard to dance to so I'd give it a 4 for 
danceability but a solid 9 for style. 
        Good work.

        Click on this link and tell me what you think.  The issue 
        is What is the SLAGA Territory?  

        At first, I was making a judgement call on what caches 
        were in the Territory, to determine if it should appear 
        on our New Caches page, Archived Caches page or 
        Featured Cache section.  

        Then I write some code to take advantage of a 'Distance 
        by Zip Code' calculation.  The Territory is now 
        based on a Zip Code of 63102 for a distance of 
        125 miles in all directions.  This amounts to a circle 
        with a 250 mile radius around the city of St. Louis 
        (see the images in the link above).  

        A smaller circle would jeapardize Rolla and some 
        parts of the Mark Twain National Forest from being 
        in the Territory.  But the current circle includes some 
        parts of Illinois that, to be honest, most of us will 
        never hunt for a cache.  

        Comments?
