That was wonderful. You put me in mind of the paintings done by Canada's Group of Seven. I'm not sure why, but I couldn't help but visualize a couple of Emily Carr paintings when you described the forest.<br/><br/>BRAVO! You rock! And congrats on the Write Away. This post deserved it.

It *sounds* fun and amazing and etc,etc, but I don't know if I could actually DO it when it came down to it. I think the 'I'm HIGH' part of my brain would override the 'just do it, you'll love it' part!<br/><br/>Good for you! You are BRAVE!!

She loved it too. Of course you paint a better picture of it than she did. I have will have a chance to try it next year. I guess I am going to HAVE to do it. My sister is 11 years older than me and if I chicken out I would NEVER hear the end of it!!! My sister did the zipline thing last year. She loved it too.

Are you somehow safety strapped to it? I would be the one that didn't get enough momentum and got stuck in the middle of the line hanging here, screaming.
