We finally went on our ziplining adventure today that we bought over the summer through
Groupon. It was something we have wanted to do for a very long time, and we weren't disappointed. Here is a photo log of our day.
|
Laura had said that when we turn off the main road, it would look like we were being led into a trap. When we turned onto this dirt road, we knew we were going the right way. |
|
This abandoned mill is barely standing, but still beautiful. |
|
It is a really nice property - 137 acres - with a beautiful lodge with games to play while you wait. Matthew beat me in foosball, 10-3. |
|
We were raring to go. |

|
Here he comes! |
|
We wanted to go as fast as possible. |
|
It was impossible to cross the bridge without grabbing the wires, but it wasn't scary with all the ropes to lean into. |
|
This is the highest platform at 70 feet above the ground. |
Here I am on the longest zipline of the course. It was about 750 feet long.
Here comes Matt. Notice that you can hear the wire "singing" long before you can see him.
|
I was so excited to pose for the camera, I forgot to brake and came in fast and twisted. We thought it was funny, how confident we were by then. |
|
We had to rappel straight down from this platform. Here is Matt, who is safely on the ground. The only scary part was swinging out over the edge; from our rock climbing experience, we were used to rappelling down. |
|
We got to race each other on the last zipline. |
|
Matt was winning as soon as we started. |
|
Right after this photo was taken, I decided that since I was losing, I would go ahead and slide with my legs up in the air. Do you see our reflections in the water? |
