Spring is right around the corner...

2007 is the Highlander's 10 year Anniversary, and we have great things planned for the upcoming year.  We're really looking forward to Spring, it is such a magical time of year.  hummingbird and laurelsI enjoy watching the world come out if its winter sleep and bloom into a beautiful existence.  It is a great time of year for road trips, and we have many new ones planned for this up coming year.

We always spend the winter researching, developing new concepts, updating and adding new photos.  We also, use all of the past year's road trips to create new community profiles, new scenic road trips and featured stories. 

This year we have 7 new communities profiles we are adding within the next couple of months.  Union County will be our first and we will be launching that one next week, along with a Union County Road trip, you will want to check out.  We will also have other new scenic road trips coming up, as well as adding more photos to the ones we currently have on-line.  Our first featured story of 2007 is going to be on Foxfire, a living history museum, and an incredible place to experience first hand. 

Join us for this great event, both fun and a wonderful fundraiser....

This is a great time to look at Real Estate, with the leaves off the trees, you can see for miles and be able to see the actual lay of the land, we find that fascinating.  We have a lot of New Developments on line for you to check out, each unique with their own special look and feel, so be sure to check them all.  You should also check out our Real Estate Featured Listing, before you make your trip to the mountains.

Now is the time to plan a Spring Mountain Getaway, and be sure to check for any Special Offers our advertisers might have to offer and check our Events and Festivals to help you plan your trip.

I would like to thank all of you that signed up for the mailing list, I have read you comments on new things you would like to see, and as time goes on we will try to add everything you are looking for as we can.   In the meanwhile, enjoy what we presently have to offer and continue to let us know what you want at suggestions@theblueridgehighlander.com...we want you to run away to the mountains first through the Highlander to make you decisions and plans and then run to the mountains for real.

Hope you all are looking forward to a great Spring, the Dogwoods will be blooming before you know it.  Be sure to bookmark the Highlander and come back often to see all of the great new things we will be adding. 

God Bless....the Highlander
