When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
In the last week there have been 2 instances that campfires have been abandoned without being put out. It is vitally important to put campfires out before leaving the area.
Our firefighters were out a couple of weeks ago working on FireSmart mitigation (Before the prohibition). Remember, effective as of 12 p.m. (noon) Pacific Daylight Time on Thursday, March 28, Category 2 and 3 open fires will be prohibited across the entire Cariboo Fire Centre. This prohibition includes the Cariboo Chilcotin Forest District, the 100 Mile House Forest District and the Quesnel Forest District.

Photo Album
I’ve been playing around with another photo album. You will notice another tab labelled “Photo Album”. Both photo albums work almost identically except that the “Photo Album” gets it’s pictures from Picasa Web, a free photo service by Google. There are a few benefits of going this route, 1) We save space on our server. 2) We save bandwidth on our server (when we get busier). 3) Anyone can email pictures directly into the photo album (if they know the secret email address). 4) All of the pictures will be consistent in size. You can do a side-by-side comparison to see what you think.
I’ve also installed a nice picture viewer called Shadowbox. When you click on a picture, it sh
adows over the page. I think it’s a nice touch.
What do you guys think?
