| Now it is my turn! This is the view from the jumping off point. The zip lines that you see in this picture are not the ones I will be traveling on this time. They are the one we just came over on and the one we will come back on. |
This picture is looking down the zip line I'm about to go for a ride on. Can you see the other end? |
I was trying to take pictures while I was on the zip line. This one show the platform I just left. A but of a blur, but, that is kind of what the ride is like. |
With a few moments of concentration I took this picture while I was zipping across the creek on the zip line. |

After everyone has made it across the second guide comes over. The guides know how to travel fast down the zip line, so, they use their hands to break as they approach the end of the zip line. |

Safety first, of course. Each rider is connected to the zip line by a primary (yellow) and secondary (blue) rope. This rider is ready for the guide to say, GO! |

This picture shows some data on what has happened to the forests of North America over the past 300 years. Perhaps the forests are a little like romances, sometimes you don't know what you have until you loose it. |
