Loni and I received a pleasant surprise today when we were told December was a record month for this little web site. Over 11,600 unique people (counting each person only once even if they visit multiple times) dropped in to StarkSilverCreek last month.

This is way beyond anything we could have imagined. In the grand scheme of the gigantic Web though it’s still a minuscule drop in the bucket. Certainly we never expected this kind of response.

While it’s easy to know how many people visit, it’s more difficult to understand why.

We enjoy writing about all things west coast such as Loreto, wine, food and gadgets & tech. The SSC community continues to grow, and we’re proud to be along for the ride with you. It’s especially gratifying when we meet new people from around the world through email, your comments and even Twitter.

Several guest bloggers have contributed popular articles and sent in valuable tips and information.

Jane. Sharon. Tom. Mike. Heather. Deborah. Conrad. Mark. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your stories, knowledge and passion with everyone. Our door is always open to those interested in blogging here.

Thanks again for making this so much fun! We look forward to more great adventures with you.

Clint and Loni
