Wed. Jun. 08, 06:39 EDT 2011 I just want to add to my message I sent you early this morning (Paris France it is half past noon now). I usually hike alone having had rather bad experiences in two of my previous hikes. I've never been on the Boucher and probably will never. To do it alone would be irresponsible. But I did 5 times the Hermit.Once from Bright Angel to Hermit-s rest. I will sure do it the other way back from Hermit's rest. The climb back to Hermit's rest is a nightmare for the last mile or so up in the scorching sun! But your videos brought back memories of my 94-95-2000 and 2003 hikes and the emotion I got from looking at your pictures and videos is a perfect demonstration of what I feel about Grand Canyon. I did twice the Tanner and Beamer to the confluence of the little Colorado and if you have not done that you should; it's a must. In 2007 I had to face a 12hours storm at the bottom of Lipan point, absolutely terrifying and not to say of the drop of temperature from 35°C to 5°C in a few hours. It was in early June. Snow waited at the rim! Claude PARIS-FRANCE

Thu. Oct. 27, 16:41 EDT 2011 I enjoyed this presentation immensely. My group is planning a Boucher-Hermit trek next month, and your photos allowed us to see what's ahead in great detail. I've hiked Boucher before, but it was a long time ago. I remember it being a bit of a white-knuckle ride, and my knuckles are white as I look at your pictures. Thanks much.

Fabulous Trip Report

Sat. Dec. 05, 10:27 EST 2020 Just finished my own "Hermit Loop" hike last October. You haven't lived if you haven't witnessed the noctilucent cliffs of the Inferno at Salt Creek in Grand Canyon, towering impossibly all around you, mutely glistering under a full moon. What a beautiful website. What a great way to share your experience. I want to do one like it. How hard is it? How expensive is it? I'm going to finally have the time in my retirement. Feel free to email me at myaddressisnoneofyourbusiness AT cox.net P.S. I noticed that your Salt Creek Overlook schematic says Horn Creek Campsites. You mean Salt Creek Campsites. The text at the bottom has Mohave Point and Hopi Point backwards (the photo has it right). But the Horn Creek Canyon schematic may also have the Points reversed. Hopi Point is at the easterly end of the Hopi Wall, of course.

Mon. Dec. 07, 14:52 EST 2020 To answer your question about the website (and thanks for the compliment),
the answer is, in my particular case, a lot of time. It's basically coded
from the ground-up and requires a lot of maintenance. However, it
does allow me to completely customize the way that it works. In
order to do something similar yourself, you'd need to be comfortable with
setting up a web application (both the front end and the back end, including
creating some sort of back-end database to hold your content). In my case,
I'm using a mish-mash of front-end code (a bit of jquery, a bit of angular, a
bit of bare javascript) and on the back-end, I've got some JSP Pages and some
Java backend code (both running on a Tomcat Web Application Server).
That backend code then interacts with a mysql database.
And I've got the whole thing running on a Linux Server that I keep up to date. Post a new message by selecting the 'Post New Message' button below. |
