Move and the crew left the Outer Banks of North Carolina and got back on the road, heading for Lake Lanier in Buford, GA, outside of Atlanta.

Lake Lanier, one of the most-visited US Army Corps of Engineers lakes in the country, boasts 692 miles of shoreline and houses all types of boats and other watercraft. Move had the good fortune to spend some time on a houseboat, enjoying a few days of luxury and relaxation after the excruciatingly taxing time on the Outer Banks ;) .

Move narrowly avoided disaster while at a truck stop.

Yesterday Move the frog was dragged up the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, all 257 steps. For the humans who had to ascend it, the trip can be somewhat physically demanding, but Move gets special treatment. Despite not meeting the height requirement, he was allowed up, and he even managed to avoid paying the entrance fee!

Move would have been blown off the edge if he tried to sit on the raling himself, so Krista, Ashley, Caitlin, and Michelle were kind enough to pose with him.

The lighthouse was constructed in 1870 and recently had to be moved from its original position because the ocean was creeping closer and closer. Countless ships and seamen owe their survival to the lighthouse and its keepers, although over 2000 ships met their untimely demise at the bottom of the sea off the coast of North Carolina in the 500 years since Sir Walter Raleigh and company first landed.

The waves at the beach close to the vacation rental where we're staying aren't very big, but Move still managed to have a good time skimboarding. No sweat. He's a frog remember, this is like his second home. More like his first actually, but Move is a fairly cosmopolitan amphibian, living in Los Angeles and all.

Speaking of Los Angeles, we escaped the 5.4 magnitude earthquake that hit yesterday, and it seems the MoveFrog office survived as well.

Move's relaxing on the beach, and it didn't seem to bother him too much.

Attended a real estate seminar this morning with Tom Hranicka of Outer Beaches Realty (www.outerbeaches.com and www.hatterasisland.com) in Avon, North Carolina and we discussed real estate trends in this community and across the country. He's been here 17 years, mostly doing sales, but there are a ton of rental properties out here that usually are rented out for vacations on a weekly basis.

Some of the houses sell for $3 million and some rent for around $9,000 a week (!) but it's so beautiful out here you can understand why. Plus, those high-end houses have 12+ bedrooms, 7+ baths and multiple pools AND are situated right on the water.

Of course I told him about MoveFrog as well, and he's planning on posting some of his rental listings on the website. Also, our system is designed where if we ever want to expand into sales listings it wouldn't be too difficult. Right now, however, there are more resources available to buyers and MoveFrog wants to concentrate on rentals.

Move and I are headed to the beach! More pics to come!
