Robyn and Andrea harnessed up and ready to zipline |
Andrea on the zipline |
On Saturday Andrea and I decided to cross off another item on our summer to-do list so we headed to Big Sky, Montana. Destination: Basecamp for some ziplining. We harnessed up, put our brain buckets on then we started the hike up the mountain. First I should mention that I tend to be on the clumsy side and I have had a fear of heights. And as for flying in any fashion: I once had a panic attack on an airplane and decided to spend two unsuccessful days in a fear of flying class at the Northwest Airlines headquarters in Minneapolis. Though I was excited all arrows pointed to a disastrous experience for me. There was a total of 3 lines we needed to zip down. On my first I didn't even think about what I was doing so after being hooked to the line I took a running leap into midair and flew over to the other side. I LOVED it!!! The second line I stood backwards on the platform, leaped off, swung my legs up and around my line, let go and flew across upside down. On my third I crossed over doing my best Peter Pan imitation for the photographer snapping pictures below. Andrea and I had the best time, conquered some fears and laughed a whole lot. I can fly! |
