Website Source Recovery — Complete
Complete to the limit of the accessible old website sourcesV3.5 Expansion Vault Forensics
The post-curated vault sweep recovered 38 genuinely new image files plus 12 historically useful aliases, and resolved the former 15-photo unknown bucket by source provenance.
V3.4 Curated TRIP PICTURES — 1,063/1,063
The curated recovery ledger is complete. Wisconsin and Wyoming closed the final 44-file gap.
V3.3 California Curated Master
The complete 403-file curated California TRIP PICTURES source has been recovered locally, plus the named Yosemite archive set.
V3.2 Arizona + Original Gallery
The complete 125-photo Grand Canyon album, five named Grand Canyon aliases, six named Sedona originals, and the complete 24-file FrontPage photo2669 package are now preserved.
V3.1 Master Photo Provenance
A separate master Drive backup yielded 43 fully identified photographs and 15 named unresolved photographs. All 58 are preserved with conservative source-based classifications.
Recovered and reconciled
Every surviving old website page body, every documented hidden page record, the original site structure, the hidden visitor-feedback database, the California journal narrative, the primary website assets recovered from the archive, and the alternate website-copy families have been reconciled into this master.
53 page bodies
All 53 surviving root HTML page bodies are restored.
54 FrontPage records
The hidden metadata roster has 54 HTML records. California.htm is the only record without a surviving body.
California history
100 original journal paragraphs from September–November recover much of the California journey without pretending to be the lost state page.
Hidden feedback
16 original July–December 2002 form submissions recovered. Raw data is preserved privately; the viewing index is redacted.
Backup families
One alternate 53-page site copy is byte-identical; the nested NIKOLES PAGE mirror is a regenerated/stripped 2008 mirror with no new narrative found in tested representative pages.
Original Journal art
The surviving peace-dove graphic has now been restored to The Journal.
Known archive limits — preserved honestly
California.htm: its body is absent. FrontPage proves it existed, records its lineage and multiple sizes, and the journals preserve substantial California history.
Two old decorative GIFs: us_wave1a.gif and massachCt.gif are referenced by Places We've Seen but were not found in the accessible Drive copies. No replacement was invented.
Visitor counter: the Bravenet counter is referenced dynamically by the HTML. The owner-provided 2,337 count has not been independently recovered from a surviving local counter image, so it remains an unverified historical clue rather than a claimed recovered fact.
Broader travel-photo vault
The organized Drive media branches contain more than a thousand travel images and a large California collection. They have been inventoried and sampled/full-copied according to branch size during the recovery, but this V3 status specifically means the old website source/history recovery is complete; it does not claim that every duplicate photograph in the broader media vault has been copied into this ZIP.
Mixed CAR SHOW: owner-identified Myrtle Beach material remains quarantined from the Agnitti's Adventures trip chronology.
