I originally started a web site so I could play around with some of the code used for these sites particularly HTML (hyper text markup language - used to make the pages for the site) and CSS (cascading style sheets - used to collect the page 'style' information onto one page). I also wanted to fool around with javascript to see what all it was capable of. My initial efforts can be seen on my original ExperimentalDon Website.

Then my focus changed toward developing the present web site that links together parts of my life that have centered around a desire to explore the hills and mountains around me. I always had a passion for seeing how high I could climb in the trees around our house and some of my earliest memories are of the views from various lookouts or other high points reached in our family travels. That desire to get 'on top' so that I could see 'the lay of the land' never lessened over the decades. Hence the theme, 'My Mountain Journeys'.
