PMBC.org

There must be free time in the air. The site’s changed again. While working on the MWBA gallery, one thing led to another and PMBC.org needed some much needed cleaning up. I’ve added a new look to the site and the gallery. It’s only a face lift, and no content has changed. However, the gallery uses a new URL Rewrite engine, so old links to albums and pictures will no longer work. They now have an index.php crammed in the middle of the URL.

Special thanks to Pete Mauro for the fantastic shot I used for the site banner. If there’s anything that’s broken here or at MWBA, please let me know. Firefox users, on the Mac at least, may notice that some of the small fonts are difficult to read. That’s a font smoothing issue with Firefox that I have yet to figure out.

Every so often you come around a corner and see this grand view of the San Gorgonio valley. The trail was easy to follow and through all the adrenaline rush we ended up doing the grand loop which kicked my arse the last 1/4 mile.
