Server Down

My goodness! Is there anything that can't go wrong? The past 3 days was spent troubleshooting the RAFTWET site as we watched the site download to a crawl... and then to that unsavory window that states, "The site could not be found or the server may be too busy. Please try again." Or something to that effect. Blah blah as the saying goes, but essentially the IP host was having serious problems that essentially took down the entire network. Sorry, they said.

Here we are in the middle of our booking season with several number one Google positions for our rafting keywords and then boom! No site. Nothing comes up but the spinning rotating cursor. So we spent hours talking with tech people and trying to stay calm and cool. What the heck? If it's not going to get fixed within 24 hours, why stress? So, I took off for the day and spent it with friends near the river. Not a bad solution to a problem, I say.

More grist for the blog, I guess... and hey, the site is back up again! Yeh!
