500 and Beyond
The 500th article was published to this site. At the same time, about 920 000 separate visits were logged. Then the database was inadvertently wrecked and the site went down for two days. I wasn't sure it could be recovered, but I got some technical help and once I could get into the backend, I have been doing some additional repairs.
The kamloopstrails.net site was started as my first website and it evolved over time. The only way to find articles is to Search using the Search Bar above. The main feature is the current post, but it is not easy to find information if you are looking for a specific route. I have been thinking about reorganizing the site, but I have chosen to add another site instead and provide links between the two. See www.kamloopstrails.com for a preview.
Doug,
Love the info on your site! It is so helpful. Since you are working on your site, thought I would offer some suggestions: a master map so one could look for activities in a certain area would really make your info more useful for me. (If I don’t already know the name of a hike, I can’t easily find possibilities.) Also, recommended hikes for certain seasons, and notes on whether dogs are welcome, need to be on leash, etc. Really appreciate all your work!
My dog and I recently enjoyed a wonderful summer hike near Orchard lake which we would never have discovered without you!
The horror, my favorite site was unavailable ! We share your loss, but keep up the good work !
The content has been rescued. I will continue to operate both sites and at some point there will be an easier way to browse for more information (on kamloopstrails.com). This site will stay as a blog following my weekly explorations.
NICE! wait. Whaaat?! I just discovered you online Doug, not even 20 minutes ago. VERY looking forward to access to the archives. So you’re amidst a transfer and re-presenting of all your data it seems…sorry to hear and Thank you indeed for your work!
