From Kellisa's Path - Thanks for a great 2021!

 This is our 72nd and final post for 2021. It was our 4th most posts in a year, but a record year as far as unique visits. Kellisa's Path topped 87.7K visits and we thank everyone who has ever stopped by to check us out. Thank you!

This blog started in September 2011 as a way for Kellisa's grandma and a few others could follow her travels and adventures. It has grown to include Egypt and our reach is worldwide with over 333,000 visitors. Much appreciation! 

I don't fully understand how so many people from other countries find Kellisa's Path and for the first time, the United States came in second place for the most visits, and as you can see below, it wasn't even close.

For the first time ever, we are setting goals for the new year. We would like to achieve new records by having at least 100 new posts and top 100K unique visits!

It's Officially A Christmas Tree Tradition

 For the second year in a row, we got a permit to cut down a Christmas tree in select areas of the Tahoe National Forest. Like last year, Egypt was my partner and she selected the perfect tree after driving down a few snow covered roads. The tree didn't look so big when compared to other, far more mature trees in the forest, but after a few clips here and there, it was a dream come true type tree for our house.
