Bay Area Explorers in 2015
Lots of things happened with Bay Area Explorers in 2015. The biggest being splitting off to an independent adventuring group where previously it was an ambassador group for the Epiclist brand. Through this experience I tried to grow and re-engage the Facebook group into a forum for adventurers. In addition, I also reached my goal of blogging regularly for a whole year and branched out on some related side-projects. Retrospectives are nice and I thought I’d list some of the milestones Bay Area Explorers has reached in 2015:
- Bay Area Explorers on Twitter went from zero to 39 followers, with 141 tweets.
- The Facebook group grew from 100 to 956 members!
- The two blogs “Bay Area Explorers” and “Silicon Valley Blog” cumulatively receive 11,000+ page views.
- I released the “Pack List” iOS app to help make outdoor trip planning easier under Backcountry Nomad with 500+ downloads.
What’s next for 2016?
I hope to develop Pack List into an indispensable tool, keep blogging and try to turn Bay Area Explorers into a self-sustaining community.
