[pct-l] Looking for Photos

[msaenz at mve-architects.com (Mike Saenz)]

I've got an extensive collection of photos between Campo and Idyllwild
and a few of the JMT from Vidette to Woods Crossing. You're welcome to
use whatever you want from them (as is anyone else you wants them).

I've been rolling an idea around in my head about a useful web site: A
map with hot links to photos, data, water report, etc. for at least all
the points listed in the Data Book. Digitized USGS topos are available
for all of California from Casil ( http://casil.ucdavis.edu/mapsurfer/
).

Just click on the map and see photos of the trail, it's mile marker,
closest water locations (maybe linked to AsABat's site) and any other
useful info available.

Not so much a collage of hiker pics, but photos of significant trail
conditions, junctions and stuff like that.

I always scour the internet for photos of the trail portions I hike in
preparation. Last hike, I had a difficult time finding images of the
Desert Divide where people had reported "steep chutes", dangerous
conditions when ice/snow is present in locations around Apache Peak &
Antsell Rock (Thanks to Mindreader for personally supplying the exact
image I was looking for!). When I hiked this location, it was between
the Feb/March storms and I wanted to "see" what the "dangerous" portions
where like.

Anyway, if you need Section A and B pics, I have many.

I'm starting to put together pct2007.org (don't bother looking there is
nothing there yet) and I think some photos of the trail would be
suitable. But I haven't done  it yet so I don't have any of my own.  
What I plan to do is get a bunch of photos from the entire length and
make a montage out of them to go behind across the top of the page.  
The montage would be hosted from my server of course. I've seen a few of
my pics 'borrowed' and being used directly from my server, without
anyone ever bothering to ask, so every now and again I swap them to
something random (witness the horror that is http://groups.msn.com/
awarenessofthewolves/unclaimedpack2.msnw).

Anyway, I thought I'd do the right thing and ask for volunteers who
wouldn't mind me using their photos to make my site graphics, drop me a
line if you're up for it.
