I find it challenging at times to find places to hike, trail maps of places to hike, as well as descriptions of places to hike, so I've set this site up to be useful for me, as if I had never hiked these areas. That, and I want to be able to look back and know where I've been and what I did. This site started in 2002 as part of the ski photo archive and log. Once my outdoors activity picked up and branched out beyond just ski areas, I split the hiking photos and data to form this site. All photos in the trip reports and profiles were taken by me on either Sony (Mavica, Handicam, and Cybershot) or Canon digital cameras. The topographic maps are from the USGS and other government sources, via Microsoft Terraserver. I designed the site from scratch in PHP and HTML, coded in Microsoft Notepad. If you wish to use any of these photos or content or design or my charming witty banter elsewhere, please contact me and seek my expressed written consent or whatever you want to call it. I've tried to respect No Trespassing signs. There have been times where I accidently ventured into these areas upon descent. That don't make it right, but what's done is done. Same thing with parking - just because I put the blue dot on the map doesn't mean its free public parking. Respeckt da signs. Questions? Comments? hiking@franklinwebpublishing.com
