We've been discovered
We were delighted to get the news today that we've been honored as one of the top 100 backpacking sites on the web--which is pretty darn cool.
Here's the official wording: "Each year, Justbackpacksonline spends weeks reading and ranking hiking, backpacking, and camping blogs to determine who has the best content, advice, and ideas in the Bloggosphere.... we believe that you have proven yourself to be one of those."
Well yes, that's very nice. And we'll save you the long speech about how we never really dreamed we would get this award...because you know that the reason we do this is because we love backpacking, and we couldn't stop if we tried.

Re: We've been discovered
I think this is specifically for those with blogs...

To clarify - by 'we' I presume you mean your blog and not necessarily HST?

Re: We've been discovered
I hate to be one to rain on the parade. But I went to justbackpacksonline.com and looked around - apparently you are giving them more publicity than they are giving to you. There is no blog or news anywhere, and the tweets are all more than 3 months old - clicking to their twitter account gave me a page not found.
I wonder how many blogs they really contacted? They might be trying to get links out all over the place to drive google hits back to them. The more they are linked across the internet, the higher they are on the searches.

Re: We've been discovered
Logic and my "crap detector" tells me that AlmostThere has the right idea.
I think that the best BP mountains on this planet is the Sierra. This site does a really good job on the best place in the world. Top 100? Who's better than we are? We've got the best mountains.
Do you know which mountains have the best summer to winter precipitation ratio. We do. That means in the summer, having the water where you want it - in the lakes, rivers and creeks, not on your head. I believe we're number 1.
