Zip line Canopy tour

Here are a couple pics of a zip line canopy tour we did last week. It was awesome, I would recomend doing it if given the opportunity. My wife was very nervous at first, but once she did the first zip line she loved it. We were 30-40' off the ground. On two of the zip lines you could reach speeds from 25-40 mph dependent on your weight. The first pic is on the very first zip line, I went first and screamed the entire length of the line, . When I got to the other platform the guide was laughing hysterically, seems no one wanted to follow.





I was doing the "little captain in me " pose.

My Wife, brother and I did this in Mexico on our family cruise last year. Absolute blast!! One of them had a 250 foot decline and was over 1,800 foot long. I hate hieghts and to say the least I screamed like a little girl all the way down.. I'd do it again in a heartbeat

we had one of those rigged from the gazebo to the water, bout a 20 foot drop over 300 feet. line stopped at a piling, but the bar ya held on to was only 3/4 feet above the water depending on tide, always dropped ya in plenty of time in the water to slow down. it was a piser for the year it lasted but the ice took that piling and never built again.
