National Parks Traveler Back On-Line, Back in Business!

Share

Published Date

March 31, 2009

After an "interesting" two days, the Traveler is back on-line and back in business. Hopefully you've hung in there with us.

The problem we ran into Monday was that there were too many of you and not a big enough server to meet your needs. It was a somewhat embarrassing problem -- who complains about too much traffic on the 'net?

So, when our initial server crashed, we went in search of a bigger one, one dedicated to the Traveler. We found it, lined it up thanks entirely to the efforts of Chris at Trailhead Interactive, and now we're back on-line.

You should notice a speedier response time when you're on the site, and the size of the new server will let us add more multi-media content, something we're working on.

So, with the housekeeping out of the way, back to our regular programming.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Great! I really enjoy it. Unlike so many "blogs" (what is the origin or that word anyway?), you not only talk about something I am truly interested in (National Parks), but you do so in a smart and balanced manner. Folks who comment here almost always do so in an intelligent, civil and well thought out manner; regardless which side of an issue they may find themselves. Rarely do we see the type of, "'Well, you're stupid!'......'No, you're stupid!'" banter so common on many other blogs. I don't know whether that is because you screen effectively, or because you simply attract a better crowd; but it is welcomed and appreciated. Keep up the good work. You guys all deserve pulitzers as far as I'm concerned, (or at least a pat on the back!)

blog is a contraction of 'weblog'
