Well it's been more than a year without an update, sometimes that's how things go. Lots of stuff to add to the site. I'm kicking things off with a site-wide layout update, nothing has been untouched. It takes a long time to process what one is trying to do here. The purpose of this site is much clearer after sleeping on it for a year. Things will update with less friction going forward. Here's a pic of me finding the path forward. Not shown here is when snow covered up the trail but with a keen eye and following some tracks, we made it over the pass.

In the depths of winter I would advise anybody to pull up pictures and videos of a hot and bright place, like this beach, Kiahuna beach, Poipu Kauai, HI.
New Years 2024
It's been a whirlwind couple weeks but this is back on New Years eve where we sent the drone up and burned some wood.

James lives in Seattle and loves photography as well as a bunch of other things that he takes pictures of. The name OaktownMap is a homage to where I came from and where I am going.
