Other hiking forums??

Campers:
Some of you may remember that when we get a search, either Jim or I will post here asking if anyone's got information we can use. I was talking to Yosemite SAR today and we were thinking about coming up with a resource list of outdoor forums to use when trying to get information on missing hikers or conditions.
What are some good semi high traffic Forums for the area between, say, Tahoe and the southern Sierra? I've got this forum, of course; and the Whitney Store & Whitney Hiker's Association.
What else?
The idea might be for SAR people to post question on whether anyone's seen an overdue hiker; whether they were in the same area at the same time; or if they were there and had photos so we could get an idea of conditions.
Maybe also any blogs. I'm aware of postholer -- is that just for PCT hikers? Any others??
Anyway, appreciate any suggestions. Maybe give the name of the forum, the link, and a couple of lines about their main interest & geographic area.
Thanks!
George
