To every one of you who has taken a stroll through this blog of mine, I give you a cyber hug and high-five! Why, you ask? As of about 6:30 this morning, the bright side of the road reached a whopping 10,000 views! Well, 10,012 to be exact! I know that’s a hill o’ beans compared to most of the blogs I follow – which include everything from this to this… Ok, and this. Guilty pleasure… Feel free to mock me, it would not come as a surprise – but it is an amazing feeling nonetheless! So, THANK YOU!

When I started the bright side of the road last year, I really just had it in my mind to share some stories about doing the things I love, from hunting to cooking, and everything in between. I had no idea that it would reach as far as it has, and that I would get so much positive feedback from the most unexpected places. With work and, well, life in general, I don’t spend near as much time as I would like in the outdoors, and therefore don’t blog about such fun as much as I would like, but this little corner of the world is nonetheless mine to enjoy, and I love sharing it with all of you! Believe me, if I could hunt and fish and play outside and test recipes for a full-time job, I would do it in a heartbeat. Ahhh, to dream…

But, until then, I will keep up the work fun over here on the blog, and hopefully keep entertaining y’all for a long time to come. I will leave you with a list of the most popular posts – a little photo enjoyment for the day!
