help!
im wondering if anyone on the forum can help. my pcs recently crashed utterly and completely and of course my favourite sites went with it.one particular site in question featured hikes directions not just in the superstitions but all over the southwest and contained galleries aplenty of photos taken by contributors etc. i know registration was required and i thought the site was called hike.com or hiking arizona or hike arizona or some such name.my search so far has been fruitless and im hoping someone on the forum might also use this site and perhaps could enlighten me. thanks
don,
HikeArizona.com might be the site you're referring to. Its webmaster shut it down several weeks ago, apparently for good. It's too bad, since it was a terrific site.
A new site, Arizonahikers.com, is continuing the message board function of the earlier site, but I don't know if the hiking notes and pics will be available again.
Hope this helps

Don,
I have another feast for your eyes.
I would recommend that you visit TERRASERVER.COM on the net. Use a search engine and search for that name and use MICROSOFT as an additional term. That sight is a location to view aerial photographs or topographical maps within the United States.
Locate MESA as the town of interest. Select Mesa, Arizona in topographic image. Expand the conditions to largest view (1 pixel equals 64 meters) the large sized image and use the topographic view. Go west of Mesa, and look for Weaver's Needle. Focus in on just east of the needle.
Now you can switch between topographic and topographic images.
Enjoy the view.
CAUTION:
Photgraphic images could appear in reverse image. Valleys appear as peaks and peaks as valleys. If printing any photgraphic image, print the topographic image too. The two images are fairly well linked and stream beds or trails appear to be bright white in the photographs.
The best magnification is 3 meters to 1 pixel.
