Idyllwild Cafe
THE 'JAVA-TRONIC'
GREEN CAFE

We are an Internet service provider located at 5,400 ft. elevation Some of our many services include website design, computer sales and repair, web hosting, DSL, Wireless and dial-ups. Our primary focus is the advancement and preservation of the Arts and the Environment through the use of digital technologies. We strongly believe that Idyllwild is much more than a collection of pleasant shops . . . but in fact a collection of creative talent located in a dramatic environment that rivals any other area on earth.

AROUND THE SHOP
What type of person hangs around the Green Cafe? Have a seat, hold your breath, & look at some of society's greatest public enemies...

... and
finally, just some of many Idyllwild related adventures the GREEN CAFE has had the great honor to be part of:

WEBCAMS

Webcams are one of neatest aspects of the World Wide Web. Webcam imagery help mountain drivers quickly judge the weather and driving conditions on their scenic visit to Idyllwild. With this spirit, we are providing a "bird's eyes" view of Idyllwild from three webcams. The first is located near the town center of Idyllwild. The second cam location is in our nearest town, in terms of driving distance, Hemet. The third locale is 180 degrees in the opposite direction, sunny Palm Springs.

The live webcam image below is from Georgias. The camera is facing south and the street you see is North Circle Drive, the main drag of Idyllwild. If you walked down 100 yards to the right, you would be in town center.

SATELLITE IMAGERY

Satellite imagery is also an indispensible tool for determining weather conditions. Below is a recent satellite image of the Western United States and the Pacific Ocean. The image is updated roughly every thirty minutes or so and in case you are curious, the GREEN CIRCLE is centered on Idyllwild, California.

THE IDYLLWILD SCRAPBOOK

An area of multimedia that we think doesn't get the attention it should is that of 360 degree panorama photography. It simply is the best way to artificially visualize a subject, whether its a landscape, a family photo, or a product shot. The Idyllwild Scrapbook has about 30 such photos in its album. Enjoy !!

Panoramas

One of the great things to do in Idyllwild is to photograph. Its seems everything is worthy of a snapshot. Over the years, we have organized about 400 favorite photographs and Quicktime VRs (panoramas) and placed them into a new, searchable online format.

PLANET RISE / SET TIMES
IN IDYLLWILD
Idyllwild is a wonderful place to 'gaze' at the stars, planets, and the moon. Below are the rise & set times (24 hour format) of all the planets in our solar system. The celestial bodies are arranged in chronological rise time order and can be experienced in the Idyllwild area by looking in the lower southeast sky (towards Garner Valley).

If the name of the planet is in purple, then it is currently visible under suitable conditions. To view the setting planet, look in the lower southwest sky, towards Hemet.
