First, thanks to each of you who occasionally or regularly spent a bit of time on Two Lane Touring. I appreciate your time and will strive to make your stop here better in 2021. (Announcements for 2021 - this Friday!)
As expected viewers were down this year v last year. I think the combination of less travel and not going to Alaska for a 4 month trip were the main reasons. There certainly was a lot of interest in the Alaska journey. We had a decline of just under 7% in individuals and about twice that in pages viewed. But things were still pretty good for TLT this year. We had more than 5200 visits and 15,000 plus pages visited. And we increased regular viewers by nearly 40 to 96 who visited more than 30 times in a year. Most views come from the US where NC and VA count for the majority with nine other states over 100. We had guests on the site from all but two states, DE and KS. There were also visitors from 29 additional countries with Norway leading the way and Canada a close second.
in order to do the site we travel and in order to travel we use our trailer and vehicle to pull it. The Oliver slipped past 59,000 miles this year and has held up really well. A blown tire did damage to some fiberglass but it was expertly repaired and the damaged water heater replaced. Our 2007 Ford Explored Sport Trac was retired from service. It did a wonderful job and the 60,000 miles we added were not easy ones. We were impressed with the truck and it did a super job to Alaska and back. We sold it to a woman from Maryland who was searching for that exact type of truck. She was happy. We replaced it with a Toyota Sequoia with more towing capacity and lots of interior room. So far so good.
Sometimes you get 300 or 400 spaces to yourself on an overnight!
