Curious about My "Counter"

Don't know if any of you ever look at the "counters" on blogs or have ever noticed my "counter" (the little thing I have towards the end of my blog after the Traffic Feed). It's a little gadget that tracks the number of people that look at your blog. It looks like this, only the numbers are in a little box and change regularly.

Counter

12306

Anyway, I didn't add a counter to my blog until long after I had started it and I started the counter at 200 so that I didn't look like a total loser! However, after I posted that blog about Jacob's Backpacking trip to Chicago Basin at the end of August, that little counter went from about 300 to 12,000!!! Curious isn't it?

I'm thinking when people are "searching" for that awesome area in Colorado ... my blog and that post must come up? Anyone else have anything happen like that?

I only have like 10 followers so pretty impressive, huh!!!!! Just thought I would share that curious little bit of information!
