It was hung in the 390s for quite a while. Glad to see another century mark ticked off. Quad digits won't be far away!

Let me count the ways...

The forum is successful because of it's genesis. The VersatileFred articles were jettisoned from their original home, and the WZ was created to find a home for that very valuable information. These resources collectively came to be known as "How not to die on Whitney"

Then came the webcams. SteveC & others monitor the pics & make sure the cameras are kept in focus, etc. etc. Daily - hourly.

The WhitneyZone gets a very high ratio of hits to registered members, and an extremely low ratio of anonymous posters to registered posters.

The secret, I believe, is in the civil discourse about our common obsession - Mount Whitney, and the peripheral topics. This forum has avoided the testosterone-soaked approach of some sites, and the erratic moderation of others.

So, kudos to SteveC, VF, and all of you who contribute.

Soon the WHA will go "live" and "up close and personal" from Fresno.

Steve C and wagga know what I am talking about.

BTW, Steve C and wagga, there are over 970!


Shhhh...it's a secret!




Have fun and enjoy 2011
