“Zip Line”. Friday, June 11


This was truly the best experience for me to date. Aaron and I did the “Zip Line”. If you’re interested, you can watch a video on their website to see what it’s all about. http://www.navitat.com/
At this site we were as high as 250ft above the ground and rode a zip line that was 1,100ft long (it took about 35 seconds from start to finish) and on some of the zip lines we went over 40 mph. If you pull up into a cannon ball you go faster.



In all there were 10 zip lines, from 120 to over 1,100 feet in length and from 2 feet to over 200 feet in the air, 2 rappelling descents of over 30 ft, 2 suspended sky bridges, 3 short hikes in the forest. The whole experience took approximately 3.5-hours with over one mile of suspended cable.





Randi and I did a zip line adventure like this on our Alaska trip a few years ago and loved it. We didn’t think it was a good idea for her to do this one because of her healing leg…..she was disappointed.

Curt drove Yvonne and Randi along the Blue Ridge Parkway, which they tell me (and I’ve no doubt) that it is a beautiful drive.
