First of all, congratulations on reaching ramen profitability. That's not an easy task on the web and mobile markets. Now about going beyond ramen... I agree with dkokelley, you may already have squeezed all the money there is to be squeezed from hiking Internet and mobile applications. Some ideas: 1) Do you have a "Everything Else" section in your hiking forum? What non-hiking activities do people talk about most often in the forum? There may be some leads there. 2) You are located in Truckee, near Lake Tahoe (lucky!). Can you branch out with some app/forum/whatever for skiers or snowboarders? Finally, I have to say that the "making money from the thing I love" bit set off some alarms. My gut feeling is that there may not be enough "muck" in the hiking market. It looks a lot like the music-making apps market. I used to read the Kvraudio website and there were always these horror stories of developers crashing and burning -- guys that start out with a love of music and computers and get the idea of "turning their hobby into a business." Then they spend untold hours creating their programs, but the buying market is just not there. So, they get almost no sales, get their software cracked, etc etc. So, my recomendation number 3 would be: 3) Try to make money from something you hate.
