zip me down



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!

Ooh, that looks like SO much fun!

San Fransisco should be neat. I've never been.

Glad you had fun! When I went zip-lining with my family I thought my mom was going to have a heart attack but like you after the first few goes she was golden.

Enjoy SanFran, it's beautiful!

I have zip-lining on my 101 in 1001 list! There are apparently a bunch of places in Orlando to do it, so PHEW.

So cool you got to do it! This seems like a cool thing. :)

I'd probably do the zipline before I'd do the bridge. I'm terrified of heights!

It looks fun and takes guts to do.

I was going to do it but changed my mind, as I'm a bit afraid of heights, and there was a long ladder to climb up to the platform as well (I've never climbed a ladder higher than a few steps).

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