such as this:
Notice that these menu items turn orange as you pass your mouse pointer over
them. Also, some information is displayed on the status line of your browser.
Larger images are used on header pages and also run down the
right side of information pages such as this one.
Eventually you arrive at Cluster pages which contain a number of small
thumb-nail images which may be enlarged by clicking on them.
You just click any item to navigate to its section.

Every once in a while a bird or animal will stop and pose for my camera. Every
once in a while I'll find a new flower and be able to identify it.
I'm just a rookie in these areas. but I've been doing alot of searching through books,
and the internet. Various generous campers have explained a number of things for me.
I'm continueing to make
illustrations
of some leaf and flower terms and formations to
help with the identification of wild flowers. Links to these
illustrations are included wherever possible.
The idea is to present enough information here so a new instructor
can check to see and understand how we've run this program.
The How To
section for Echo Lake Camp maintenance workers has a new section
on folding a camp tent. There is even a
movie .
The knot tying section now shows how to tie a
bowline .
We have had some significant improvements going on: namely
a Nurse's Cabin ,
a Ridge Bath remodel,
and a
Dining Hall Ramp .
These are now shown in an expanded
section of the history decade from 2001 through 2010.
I've keyed in all the HTML code for this site using vim,
a Windows version of the vi editor.
Photoshop is my primary image editing tool.
I use Paint Shop Pro with Animation Shop to create the animated gifs.
The maps were done with Adobe Illustrator.
This site relies heavily on Java Script to reduce the amount
of typing and to create various roll-over effects.
I've included some sound in this website. For audio, I use a Sony
Mini Disk Recorder and convert the sounds to MP3 format.
I buy all my mini disc supplys and accessories at Minidisco.
I use my Alesis synthesizer and Cakewalk to create midi music
files.
And finally, this site is hosted by Hostdime. They have low
prices, a very helpful staff, and fantastic services.

subsection of
Grounds
is still expanding. There are now sections for birds, butterflies, fish, flowers, insects
mammals, reptiles, rodents, shrubs, and trees.Maps
I've hiked into Desolation Valley and gotten pictures at several different lakes.
The maps could still use more work, but the
Camp map,
the
Desolation Wilderness map, and
Big Meadow maps
now include a technique called image mapping. You
can pass your mouse pointer over enabled features and jump
to the picture section for a quick visual.Beaches
For our campers who like to visit a traditional beach with
sand, picnics and swimming I've added a
Beach
section covering Angora Lake, Kiwa Beach, and Pope Beach.How-To
I've added a how-to section for beginning
archery technique.History
No doubt, there has always been some sort of construction
going on at Echo Lake Camp. Most of it has never been
documented.The Future of www.EchoCamp.org
It's my goal to present a fairly complete view of the many things
we offer here at Echo Lake Camp.Areas of possible development
Is there something you'd like to see here? Some changes that ought to
be made? Drop me an email or talk to me in camp this summer.Construction of EchoCamp.org
Production of this website has required a lot of hardware and software.
Here's a listing of some of the products I use.
