Relaunched HikeTheCanyon.org on OpenBD and GAE

ColdFusion, Technology
Around a year or so ago, I inadvertently took hikethecanyon.org offline in a server move.  Considering that it is a very low traffic site that is little more than a scrapbook of hiking pictures and descriptions, there is no active user community to send me nasty messages begging for me to bring it back online.  Finally this past weekend, I spent a bit of time and revived the code base off an old server, moved all the images out to Amazon S3 and brought the site up running under OpenBlueDragon on the Google App Engine.  Other than a very rudimentary Lightbox drop-in I did on the gallery to replace a no-longer functioning Flash image gallery, I didn't actually touch the codebase or the design.  So if it looks dated to you, that is because it is! 

For those interested in hiking, you may want to give it a look.  It documents a hike of the Grand Canyon that I took with my dad in 2005 with a very detailed trip report and over 300 pictures.  Enjoy!
