About Pacific Coast Travels
Pacific Coast Travels used to be Ghost Town Software. When I moved to
Portland two years ago I had to start exploring the Pacific coast area.
I moved to Portland a few years ago, after spending twenty years in Colorado.
There's plenty of exploring to do in mountains, rivers and coast of the Pacific Northwest,
and I sometimes head overseas to explore other fun locations around the Pacific Basin.
These pages are loaded with photos and stories about my travels around this part of the world.
P C T is really only one person. Mike Henry had been living in Colorado Springs for
twenty years and has explored much of the mountains and forest on bike and on foot,
and put that experience in to the Ghost Town mapping software and guidebook product.
P C T is different, instead of mapping software it's just a web travel magazine.
I'm hoping to post several trips each year - one or two of the Pacific Northwest,
and at least one oversees trip.
This travel log is layed out in a simple magazine format where each destination is one issue
with several pages of photos or stories. Pictures on the main pages are miniatures,
just click to get the larger versions.
The design goals of this web site are:
A simple page layout that is good looking and easy to figure out.
Lots of high quality photos with captions and stories about the locations.
All links are obvious so you can get from any page to any other in three clicks or less.
No Flash, Scripts, Cookies, or Popups.
