Wander the West has New Management

With mixed emotions it is time to announce that I am stepping down as owner of Wander the West effective immediately. The site will now be owned and operated by Andy R who started a small company focused on fostering online communities. I spoke to Andy at length before making this decision and feel he will be a good fit here. This change will allow me to dedicate more time and resources to my mining history website, which you all know is my passion project. I do not expect that there will be any day to day changes in the website and the change of ownership should be a transparent process.
I still look forward to sharing trip reports with the community and will continue to participate as an active member of Wander the West. Happy New Year to you all and I'm hoping to see all my friends soon in our usual backcountry spots.
Sincerely,
DirtyDog (Aaron)

I know it's always weird when the founder of a site posts an announcement that he's sold the site. As the new owner I'll need to earn your trust so please give me some time to continue business as usual. Social Knowledge is a tiny company so don't worry, there are no corporate overlords taking over your community. I work with a gal from Washington named Janet and Jeff, the programmer is from upstate New York. I current live in Texas but plan to move back to Colorado at some point in the future. I enjoy car camping deep in the wilderness and driving trails. At this time I have a 3 month old baby and 2 year old so I don't get much time to go wander but I am desperately jonesing for trip on my own.

Wander the West is for me like no other forum out there. It has become a community I truly feel like I'm a part of. It has allowed me to experience new adventures and to make new friends. I hope Andy is able to keep it going strong and I wish you all the best. But whatever happens, thank you for what you have done.

Aaron -
I wish you well and hope to continue to see you around, whether virtually -- here -- or "out there".
