PE Trail - ArcGIS Map
background story
I created PE Trail's renovated website from scratch when I was at CSUSB. I became friends with a person named Christopher Wills. I was skeptical if people liked my website PEtrail.org, because it wasn't getting many views and a lot of older people didn't like fancy technology. But then, Chris told me his friend got lost on the trail and this map helped his friend get home. That was a game-changer that the site was life-changing. Then I knew the value of what I did - that all the details weren't meaningless, instead really valuable. When I too was on the trail and got lost - and didn't see the map on the PE Trail's website anymore - the hardship confirmed what his friend felt. It's a really valuable, needed service for many people, including myself.
Chris Wills - if you're out there - 'thanks' - and hope this helps out you, your friend, and everyone else that branched out from us and beyond that are able to get the help that they deserve by me preserving and renewing the integrity of the website I once built. I hope this would heal some of the wounds and restore what was lost, even if we can never fully get back what was lost to fix the damage - it's a little step in the right direction to bring back what was lost and it did help me.
Even though I gave up the website's maintenance to others to take care of, due to handling school, being done with building the website, and not really sure of the Friends of the PE Trail organization, I can't really change the PEtrail.org website anymore - due to the lack of contacts and needing permission - being no longer my work. Mine ended around 2013-ish - when I was called upon to make final edits. That doesn't mean it's not there - it's just hidden from the main view on the official site - which you could still see and access. So I decided to bring it to my personal website instead - being my creation. So now if anyone needs it (like getting lost) and wants to use it - at full size, here it is (the request is to make it really large - it's impractical to make it larger, so I added links to access that size - for those who want to):
