There was a gala celebration last month when Two Lane Touring turned ten. Well currently it is TLT the blog had other names early on. I started the posts to create a forcing function to improve my photos. I figured that if I posted them then I would really want to get better photos. Not sure how well that theory worked but the photos are better, just don’t go too far back in the archives, please. The new name took root in conjunction with the purchase of the Oliver Travel Trailer and the semi-serious goal of visiting and photographing all 400 plus units of the National Park Service. That is actually going pretty well as we are now at 357 with fewer than 75 more to visit. Though they add to that number each year or so. And some are really far away - Guam anyone?

You will note in the photograph that Cadillac Moose, excuse me, Chef C. Moose, went all out with the culinary delights he served at the black tie gala.

We sadly found out later that the news releases and the hundreds of invitations were never mailed so the turnout was rather low, but hope soars for the next decade’s celebration.

This is a very small blog, we only attract the most discerning and amazing people who have excellent taste in all things. TLT has on average about 120 different people each week and are up 11% for the year. The numbers peaked in April and May on our Spring travel and they usually do fluctuate with the trips. We plan to go this fall about mid-September. Meanwhile there are thousands of photos across the miles and the years. And more to come. Thanks for viewing!
