.... zipline adventures ....

contrary to popular belief, i do like to engage in a little bit of adventurous behavior now and then. this weekend provided such an opportunity.

so i grabbed the point and shoot, hopped in the car for a short ride up north and pulled in to this parking lot where the possibility for blast-your-hair back adventure was at virtually every turn of the head.

the limo ride...well the first half of the ride...got us to the bottom of the mountain

until we rolled up to the luxury limo for a 6-wheel-drive ride up some seriously vertical obstacles

when your ride requires a debriefing, that should be the sign that it's going to fall into a rather unique category of transportation experiences

without a doubt some of the most beautiful wilderness

along with a little 'put your big girl panties on and deal' activities

this is roger. i don't know him, but when you're standing on a small platform 55 feet in the air, in the middle of some ball-busting adventure, you get to know each other.

then there was the final zip, a jaw dropping pendulum swing that leaves you wanting a helluva lot more

despite the encouragement of our fabulous guides, you will not find any mid-zip pics because i was a scaredy-cat and refused to let go of the harness. but kudos to the point and shoot camera for making these shots possible.
