I never suspected this site would last another decade. I&#8217;ll bet it probably survived longer than 99% of blogs, a steady stream of articles as the years quickly passed. I watched my older son go from kindergarten to high school during that period, and my younger son from diapers to middle school. Somehow the list of potential topics in the hopper always hovered around a hundred and I never suffered from writer&#8217;s block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That&#8217;s a Wrap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/14617300192\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5570\/14617300192_6165d4f81c_b.jpg\" alt=\"The tripoint where the Irish counties of Cork, Kerry and Limerick join together.

Originally I planned to take this thing out to twelve years so I could say 12MC went &#8220;full circle.&#8221; However, last summer when <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=17770\">I repeated an article<\/a>, it flipped a mental switch within me. I knew I needed to wrap this thing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The details for this decision don&#8217;t really matter. My life is a lot more complicated now than it was ten years ago and it&#8217;s become increasingly difficult to find enough time to put the necessary quality into each article. I&#8217;ll leave it at that. I probably should have done it sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12MC Won&#8217;t Disappear Completely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/20828156093\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5834\/20828156093_3be5206f65_b.jpg\" alt=\"Center of the Nation. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Center of the Nation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Twelve Mile Circle won&#8217;t be updated twice a week anymore. I&#8217;m going to take a break for awhile and when I&#8217;m ready I&#8217;ll start publishing again. That may not happen until after the holidays. I&#8217;m not sure. Maybe something really interesting will come up before then and I&#8217;ll want to share it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It won&#8217;t be the same site, though. Future articles will cover things like my travel adventures and my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/travel\/counties\/united-states-county-map.html\">county counting<\/a> efforts. They will include periodic updates on my numerous obsessive-compulsive lists (like ferries, lighthouses, breweries, fortresses, and waterfalls). Also, be assured that anytime I personally visit a notable geo-oddity I&#8217;ll want to rush to the keyboard to tell everyone about it. Even so, I won&#8217;t be posting regularly. Articles will appear on their own schedule, when I feel like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What readers won&#8217;t see, however, are the types of articles that served as the backbone of this site for all these years. That&#8217;s what most people came here to see so I apologize in advance because I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll disappoint a lot of you with the new direction. I&#8217;ll always have that back catalog of 1,409 articles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twelvemilecircle.com\/complete-index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Complete Index<\/a> though. Hopefully that will ease the pain a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping in Touch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/27008206692\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7228\/27008206692_cf40fd052e_b.jpg\" alt=\"Jerimoth Hill, elevation highpoint of Rhode Island.

It probably won&#8217;t make sense to check the front page looking for new articles. Updates won&#8217;t happen that often. I&#8217;ll suggest some ways to follow along, though. New articles links will always be posted on the world&#8217;s lamest twitter account, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheReal12MC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TheReal12MC<\/a>. You can also use an old school News Reader to subscribe to the RSS feed. Or we can part ways amicably with no hard feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Big Thank You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/35385633933\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4308\/35385633933_cd579ac2bf_b.jpg\" alt=\"Four Corners AZ, CO, NM, UT.

I wrote it specifically as a way to get away from the stress of the outside world while pursuing a few natural curiosities. This never became a popularity contest, of trying to attract the greatest number of eyeballs. I was always amazed that anyone else would ever want to read it at all, much less follow it faithfully. I appreciated all of the thoughtful and respectful comments too. In all of those years I had to block only a single troll from the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m glad many of you enjoyed the last decade and maybe a few of you will even stick around for what&#8217;s to follow. I wish each of you the best and hope your personal pursuit of geo-oddities brings a lifetime of joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten years is a long time to do anything.
