This was the last zip we did yesterday. There were 8 zips. See that cable that starts about at the middle of the left margin? It is right above a patch of dirt. Then it goes over to another patch of dirt on the hill across the way, which is about in the middle of the picture. They hooked our harness onto that cable and then we ran off that patch of dirt and swung (zipped) over to the other side and landed on that patch of dirt. The cable goes up, so you slow down as you are arriving, plus the guides pull on the cable if necessary to help to stop you. I had absolutely no trouble with my knees or back. It was so much fun that I can't describe it adequately. That fence you see is as far as we could go to look off without going on the cable. See the beautiful valley that we zipped over? It was so pretty!
I really thank God for the experience. Some other people on the zip tour had zipped in Dripping Springs, Texas, so that's my next dream adventure. I googled it and their web site is pretty cool. You might want to take a look. Dana and Terri, let's go! Judy, how about you? Check with Roman and see if he has done this. Gary Whiteley lives in Dripping Springs, so watch out Gary; here we come! After DC, let's do the next reunion in Dripping Springs. Woo-hoo! Dripping Springs would never be the same!
We took a fairly easy day today around here. We went to church at a member's home today because the location they usually use was not available. That was really special. After church we drove over to Waimea thinking we'd hike up Knob Hill, but it rained on us after we got just a little ways up, so we decided to come on home. We went to nearby Keokea Beach Park and enjoyed some time on the rocks as the waves came crashing onto them. We came home to our usual hamburgers and then enjoyed some time visiting around the kitchen table. Good times with friends; special moments. Thank you, God.
