I was so privileged to talk with Herb Burton of the Fly Shop, he's worked many years on the politics of the Trinity River. We are so lucky to have so many dedicated people.

A constant complaint i hear, and see, is that Google Maps Are Wrong (re: road names)! Dang! I've added it to my list of things to do: find out how to complain & get it fixed. Likewise re Directions: over&over i hear that Google (or MapQuest, said to be worse) sends people on an extremely round-about route, often on marginally-passable USFS roads.

Back home, i find the online-database-modification feature provided by TrinityCounty.com's web-host is inaccessible, dang! Today's saturday, i must have this project done in 5 days, and there are no office hours at Velocity til tuesday. I send an email, leave a phone message.

Meanwhile i can continue to add businesses to the site, but the problem is that if i make a mistake, there's no simple way to correct it (other than programming a complete PHP page to address the specific problem). And 1 inadvertent mistake (something as innocuous as an extra ENTER carriage return) can completely kill the Virtual Tour feature.

A couple hours later: it's gotten worse, now even anyone attempting to access TrinityCounty.com/Visit get a database failure message.

Luckily, Travis (of Velocity) happens into the office (1 hardworking man) & fixes it. Seems may be this new database-based site is just demanding more memory of his server than it usually deals with; he increases the limit.
