Natural and Historic Attractions

The map below indicates quite a few of the natural wonders and cultural and historic features that are present in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. As time goes on, I get deeper and deeper into the countryside in my explorations and I do what I need to to earn the "bragging rights" that allow me to expound on all the beautiful and wondrous things that I come across. And there's something about taking my own photos as I do this... Clicking on an active name on the imagemap below will take you to that part of sangres.com. Some of these presentations have photo galleries and maps attached to them, and some will be expanded as I spend more time in each area and explore it for myself. Most of these pages also contain links to the official State and National Park Service and Forest Service websites for those attractions. Some of these pages are simply about elements that my website visitors have enquired about. So many wonders, so little time... This collection of data and photos is by no means comprehensive. This is a large landscape with an abundance of elements that I want to see and touch and explore for myself. Wait a minute... did you hear it? That was the Call of the Wild again. It keeps ringing in my ears and in my head... Gotta get rid of this day job and get on with living my life... not getting any younger, you know... On a regular basis my presentation outgrows this map and I have to replace it with a new one. That means that I'm having fun and getting ready to have more... |

From the size of the map and the length of my list, you might see that I'm having a bit of a dilemma: how to organize this data in an easily accessible manner. At the same time, there's so much stuff in this website that I'm never sure if I've got it all on the proper list or map or even if it's all properly linked together. These high-end web editing programs only tell me when I've broken a previously made link, not when I forget to make a new link. And then I look at my bookcase and see the huge backlog of photos, data and maps, just waiting to be processed and added to the site... so why don't I quit the day job and just do this full time... what a great idea! |
