TORR travels Europe

Well TORR is at it again.  From our last entry he has bounced around a few places.  His travels now have him traveled 5,829.5 miles.  Not bad in a years time.  We decided also to start another trackable Earthlight.
 Its goal is the travel through all 50 states and Providences in Canada.  Keep an eye for it's travels.  It has already been picked up from our front porch at Mountain Aire Realty, we can't wait to follow the travels.

Well let's get back to TORR's travels.  He left Vienna and went to Croatia,
He visited this 5th century convent, the auther said that monks lost it for a second time in 1948.  It was used as a poor house until 1989 and since has been abandoned.



Torr's next stop was at the Cafe Belvedere in Bled Slovenia.  It is a some amazing views of Bled Lake and Bled island pictured below.  I think this looks like a great place to have a relaxing meal and enjoy the view.  Lucky TORR.

After bouncing around a few more places (back to Germany and the back to Slovenia) he is resting in Croatia.  This is just outside the Karavanke Tunnel in the parking area.  Just waiting to get picked up and moved to his next destination.    
TORR has been on some great adventures since leaving our porch.  If you are ever around the North Georgia Mountains please stop in and tell us about your geocaching adventures.  Who knows what your next adventure might lead to!

GEOCACHING What a Find!

You say you want an adventure but don't know where to start?  Have you heard about GEOCACHING?  I never had until a friend told me about it (thanks Judy!).   Well basically it is a worldwide treasure hunt.  People (and even you) can hide something anywhere you want post it on the geochaching website and then others try to find it using GPS coordinates (have a smart phone will travel).  They can range from very easy to quit difficult hunts.  Once you have done your best "Balboa adventure" and found the geocache, enter your results on the website.  Then it's off on your next adventure.  It is amazing how many of these hidden gems are just around the corner in your own neighborhood.  You can take day, weekend trips or even whole vacations around these.  It is a great way to explore areas in a whole new way and see things that you may never have seen before. 

While you are searching for you geocache why not let us search for your own mountain treasure or just go to the Mountain Aire Realty website and start your own house hunting adventure.  Stop by our office for some refreshment and let us know how your geocaching is going.   Come up and enjoy your geocache adventure here in Ellijay.  Checkout our video of some of the local scenes in our area.
