Everytrail acquired by Alltrails and lost my 70 trips, photos and descriptions

I'm pretty pissed off.  I haven't been on Everytrail much lately, but I wanted to look at my trips today and start a trip for my Iceland Laugavegur trip.  When I went o Everytrail, it was redirected to Alltrails.  Apparently Alltrails acquired Everytrail recently (like yesterday) and proceded to promptly shut the Everytrail site down immediately and redirect to the Alltrails site.
Despite their wording that ' EveryTrail users will be able to seamlessly interact with their existing photos, reviews and trail recordings... etc.' it's bullshit.  I can't access any of the 70ish trips I meticulously uploaded, added thousands of photos and wrote lengthy descriptions of.  None of them. To add insult to injury, some of the photos on there I don't even have on my hard drive, since there is about a year of photos I lost around 2008 or 2009.  Perhaps I should have downloaded them earlier but I thought they were safe on Everytail.  If I know this was coming in advance I would have.  Much of the traffic to this blog was a result of people reading my Everytrail trips and they were an excellent resource for people planning trips in the areas I traveled in.  This is pretty much bullshit - they couldn't keep both running for a while and/or send all Everytrail users an email explaining what happened to allow them to get their data off of Everytrail???  That would seem reasonable to me, but they didn't do that.
The only recourse I have to get my data back is I submitted a help ticket on Alltrails asking how I can access my data.  Hopefully something comes of this but I am not holding my breath.

UPDATE:  Alltrails did help me out and imported my trips (now called recordings) into Alltrails.  Thanks Alltrails!

"Feels Like' Temperatures are Bullshit

     When the temperatures drop and become very cold, or conversely when it is very hot out, you hear it everywhere.   People saying  "OMG, tomorrow it feels like -40 out!" on Facebook, Twitter, and people you talk to, your friends and around the office.  There's a subset of people like myself who are annoyed with the 'feels like' temperatures the media likes to spew out.  My problem is it's a perfect tool for the general population to sensationalize the temperature.  I's say a good majority of society likes to complain about the weather, it's too cold, too hot, too rainy, too humid, they hate the snow etc.  Please just deal with it and shut the fuck up - the weather in Canada is always variable, there's nothing you can do about it and just learn to deal with it.   Whining about it only annoys others and doesn't accomplish anything, and the 'feels like' temperatures only feeds these whiners with more material to whine about the weather.  I personally love the weather in all it's forms, it makes life interesting to me.  Sure, sometimes I would prefer to to have to shovel the driveway, scrape the windows and white knuckle drive my way through a snowstorm somewhere, but still it makes life interesting.  It changes the landscape into a type of beauty that changes with the seasons.
     Don't get me wrong, the wind and humidity do affect how it feels like outside, but they are separate variables, and you can't manipulate the temperature with a formula to come up with some kind of equivalent.  Environment Canada attempted to combine these things that feel different and with a formula wrongly, oh so wrongly attempted to spit out a 'feels like' value, and even have the balls to call it an equivalent temperature.  You see, thermal conduction depends on different things.  The heat transfer through materials and from radiation (infrared) and through convection (transfer to a fluid) are all different, so you can't just make an equivalent number of of some formula.  Sadly, i don't think the wind chill and humidex will go away, since people like to sensationalize and this is toll for them to do so.  To me it's -22 and windy outside...  not 'feels like -40'.
