July 1996, Mammoth Mountain California

Through the magic of HTML and high-speed serial communications or broadband, you can experience the beauty and serenity of a wilderness backpacking trip without the normally associated pain and suffering. Below is a topographic map of BerrisBob's recent backpacking trip to the Mammoth Mountain area in the central California Sierra Nevada mountains. Superimposed over the map are 20 blue numerals, ranging from 1 to 20. These represent highlights or points of interest on the trip in the order in which they were experienced. Placing the cursor over one of the numbers and clicking will take you to another html document which describes the event or location, often supplemented with photographs. Though navigating through cyberspace in this fashion does not begin to compare to actually making the trip yourself, it's the best we can do at this point.

So sit back, relax, and let your mouse-clicking finger do the walking. Your feet will thank you.
