How did I forget this?

So Justin and I went zip lining last Sunday at a place called Spookywoods about an hour away from here. And somehow in the excitement of a Halloween attraction, I forgot that zip line involved heights and a free fall of sorts and a faith in other people's equipment - all things that I don't like. So we end up on a tower about 40 feet up with me strapped into a harness and a dude that I've been asked to call Cap'n Crunch giving me a pep talk.

Justin (of course)was fine. I took 5 minutes to launch the firt time. I gibbered like an idiot making everyone else in our group so annoyed that they rocket-launched off the stands to get away from me. I required a pep talk and slight shove at each tower. And after 6 lines, I opted to head down to solid ground when we made it back to a tower with steps. FYI, no steps is quite the incentive to keep going.

To be honest, I enjoyed it in between my bouts of terror and I plan on going back. I'm getting too cautious in my 30s and it's not a fun way to live.

I wish we had photos or video but I was gripping the line too tightly to reach for my camera. Apparently my death grip was the only thing keeping me on the line.....
