I don't know about you, but I LOVE maps!I love unwrapping them the night before a journey into places unknown, spreading them out, full-paged, on the kitchen table. It makes me smile to gather "the crew" around those cartograms and talk into the night about a mutual adventure that is just around the bend.
Context. That is exactly what maps provide. If you are out on the road, feeling lost and all alone in some mysterious land far from familiar city lights, all you need to do is park under a weeping willow by a bubbling brook and get out your map.
Keeping in mind how many positive features I attribute to maps. the print variety you can unfold and hold, that is, you might imagine how excited I was when, just the other day, I discovered a treasure trove of local maps, well-done and download-able. The web site issued an invitation I couldn't deny.
-
"Come to our mountains, where we will reveal to you a botanical paradise.
- You will see 43 mountain peaks that reach 6,000 feet, including Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the eastern United States.
- You will find breathtaking valleys and the powerful rivers that rush through them.
- Hike or bike the miles of trails and discover cascading falls in the many state and national parks that nestle among them.
- Plan a winter vacation and visit one of our seven resorts offering skiing, snowboarding or tubing.. "
That's all I needed to read. I was there!
But, wait a minute. . .I already live in a "botanical paradise" among the peaks and powerful rivers. Best idea then is to welcome you Home to North Carolina. As a real estate professional, ECO certified , may I offer you a map to my compellingly beautiful corner of the world?
