1,000,000 Views…and still counting!!!!

June 4, 2013 by libertatemamo 49 Comments

Yes, you inspire me :)
Yes, you inspire me 🙂

While we were hanging at Cape Disappointment this past week my little blog passed a rather massive milestone. What started as just a small thing, a little side-project, somewhere to post a few pics and share a few words with friends and family just rocked past 1,000,000 views. I never, in my wildest imagination thought I would reach that million number. I can’t quite believe it and I just had to share it because YOU, my friends, are the people that made this happen. Maybe it’s “the beast“, or perhaps my witty repatee, or possibly the dog (I’m putting my money on the dog…she is outrageously cute after all), but whatever your reasons for following our journey I THANK you for doing so. The community that I’ve discovered through blogging, the blog readers we’ve met and the inspiration it gives me to continue to photograph and write is something quite special. I may be the source, but you guys are the lifeline of this blog. So, thanks very much folks…here’s looking forward to the next mil 🙂

    Greetings from N TX and congrats on your blog’s success. I stumbled upon it a while back when I was looking for pictures of So Llano River State Park, my favorite TX SP! While I am only a tentcamper, I love reading about your adventures with the Beast and your photography is marvelous. I look forward to many more posts!

    1,000,000 view only because you are such a great writer and always keep it interesting. We all most met up with you near Lake Shasta last summer. This yr we are back at our spot up in the mts. of Arizona near Payson for the summer. 7700 ft / It is a great place to cool down from the Phoenix area in the summer. we have been spending the last 12yrs here. Hope to meet up with you next summer.

    Congratulations on the Mile Stone you have reached, we soooooo regret not being able to hook up with you and Paul last year in Oregon. Although we passed each other at some time or another. We are not going to make it up there this year do to our once in a life time trip to Europe for 6 weeks this summer. Perhaps next year if your going to do Oregon again, we are going to try and trip to Alaska next year.
    Have you ever thought about making a few $$ on your Blog? Don’t know how you would do it but with 1,000,000 hits and another 1,000,000 in the future……. Oh Well just thinking out loud here.. My money is on Polly also LoL….

You and Paul do a great on of checking out interesting areas and the descriptions and pictures make you want to go visit right now! Pictures of the kitty basking in the sun in the chair always make me think how nice a nap would be in the sun after a nice walk!

We are enjoying our first workamping job at Nason Creek Campground near Leavenworth, WA. If you get near us, please stop by. It’s in the Wenatchee National Forest in a great wooded setting with the creek flowing through the campground. Anyway, hope everything is going great for you guys!

    No wonder! Super blog! It’s all because of the RVing cats for me. Well, your photos and writing are great too! Ok, Polly is pretty cute. And there’s the fact that I’m living vicariously through you – until I can get my own RV and meet up with you somewhere “out there”. Keep up the great work – the 2nd million will come much faster!

    Congrats on the milestone. I too read regularly and look forward to the next one. The campsite reviews are especially helpful using the rating system for comparisons. As we plan our own adventure I keep track of those reviews and if the beast fit comfortably, Polly liked it and the location is spectacular then it’s on our list! We’re even getting healthier so we can hike and see what’s out there on the trails that your photos tease us with weekly! Thanks for the time and effort you put into the blog – how fun it will be for you and Paul to read back through all your adventures when you decide to hang up the steering wheel!

    Congratulations from our Arkansas home base. Just back from a 3 week trip in Colorado where we had a fortuitous meetup with RV Dreamers in Colorado Springs before moving on to many hikes in Estes Park. We enjoy your thoughtful information and on this trip referenced your site for the Wilson Sleek, RV memberships, Roadside assistance and GEO method for black tanks. Too bad you didn’t have a post about running out of gas in a 30mph headwind across Kansas…we could have used it as well! Best wishes. Jeff, Deb and Irondog Sam.
