I’m just recently getting into hiking and camping, and these are some great links! Thanks for posting. I work with Chef’s Diet, so sometimes I don’t have a lot of time to get out there and enjoy the outdoors. If you’ve never heard of us, we utilize fresh produce and lean meats to create healthy meals that are delivered to your door, daily.

Thanks for the kind words, and I totally agree about U2 – “their tree” wasn’t in Joshua Tree National Park anyways, and has since fallen and died.

Yeah, I lag on SEO …. I mostly do it for fun. I learn a lot and like sharing. I haven’t done google ads etc. Not sure reader’s appreciate being bombarded by ads vs honest writing. Just my 2 cents.

Keep up the good work! I refer tons over to you. Send me my cut!! :>)

Rick: most impressive. If you did some search engine optimization on your site you could actually make more money from ads and paid links than you’ll ever make from your book.

“Half Dome” got over 270,000 searches on google last month (vs. 5,000 for “bay area hiking”).

Mr Half Dome has written a daily blog (7 days a week) for 2 1/2 yrs. Only missed when camping or on Cruise ships. Gosh.

Tom – thanks for the website plug. I need to get over to your side of the country and see how ya’ll do it up in the big hills.

Ralph – I gotta throw a plug in for Paul Magnanti’s blog – http://www.pmags.com/joomla/ Great stuff there. Paul’s a straight-up hiking machine!

Some fine links there. I read John Pugh’s Source to Sea frequently. He has some interesting posts in the list of favorite posts on the right side of his blog. For instance, how to make a pot cozy. Living in a straw yurt, etc.
