It's particularly fascinating to see that 60 different countries were represented among our visitors. I figure most of those visitors simply stumbled upon this blog. Even then, I hope they found it to be a good resource for visiting and exploring the United States.
As our trip concludes, we'd like to thank all of our readers for following along. It's been a great ride, thanks for reading!

*Orion and I changed our blog settings mid-trip, which skews the pageview data downwards. What we did was change our main blog setting from the most recent 5 posts to the most recent 5 days. By doing this, we hoped to make the blog easier to read. In doing so, we also skewed our pageview data because it was easier to "catch up" on our travels with the new blog settings. This meant less clicking to previous pages, which lowered our pageview data significantly (the drop from the analytics report is impressive). We didn't notice a drop in absolute unique visitors, which meant our loyal readers were still keeping up with us, but we did want to make a note of what we felt was a misleadingly low pageview number.
