VACATION GETAWAYS
The idea of "Virtual Hiking" came to me back in 2003, in an effort to cheer up my neighbor Carol, who can no longer walk well due to many health issues. I started to photograph hikes from beginning to end,
and put them together in a way so that she could feel she was
"hiking with us" - and go as many places as she wanted in her mind... without ever leaving her home.
Little did I know that I was to become a
"Hike-o-holic" ... And after all these years, I have a hiking album or two - which have become an excellent source of reference on researching what you can expect a particular hike to be like at any given time of year, as well as memories of good times with friends to also share with their
friends and family.
THE
www.GoVirtualHike.com website was launched 12/31/2006, after several years of planning.
THEN
...
on 06/07/2008, the unthinkable happened... software failure... backup failure... the website you were viewing no longer existed.
LEMONS
...
life hands nothing but lemons at times, but flipping a negative to a positive is what it's all about.
NINE
straight days, 17 hours a day later... the new website vision was starting to become reality.
ANOTHER
23 days and 137 more hours -
LIKE A PHOENIX RISING UP OUT OF THE ASHES
...and a forest destroyed by fire - GoVirtualHike.com came back stronger and more beautiful than ever
.
