zip me down

[orangerful]

Oh my goodness, that was SO MUCH FUN!

I will admit, I was freaking out as we stood in line for our first little mini-zip. I had been discussing this adventure with my friend at work and she pointed out that ziplines and rollercoasters have things in common and suddenly I was scared! But once I got through the first two zips, it was SO FUN! Crazy. But FUN! I'm so glad I did it. It was an amazing way to experience Harper's Ferry National Park.

Oh, and this icon is SO appropriate. They had us walk up one bridge and it was so wobbley and had a few large gaps, all I could think of was Shortround hollering at Indy.

The guides from River Riders were an awesome bunch. They were very friendly and personable, silly but still professional. They knew how to put everyone at ease and they checked up on all of us every time we landed safely. They took safety VERY seriously. If a coupon arrived in the mail for a free zipline, I would totally go again. If you're looking for a place to go for this sort of outdoor excursion, I think you will be happy with River Riders.

But now it's time to save up my money for a different adventure - San Francisco! Just a month away!

That really does look like fun! :) Not sure if I'm quite brave enough to ever give it a try though. ;)

I didn't think I was either but I made it! You might surprise yourself. Just drag some friends along with you and promise yourself ice cream at the end (omg we had home-made chocolate peanut butter cup, it was ooooooo rich)
