Links
You find a table with a giant map laid on it and various locations marked out with pins.
Here's where I store links to interesting places on the web! A mix of links I want to remember and sites I think will be useful to other people. These entries are in no particular order
Fun & Interesting
| Link | Notes |

| The Cave of Dragonflies | Fav site since I was literally a child and still check in on. Pokemon news, info, activities, fic, etc. |
