ZIPPING

Would you like to fly through the air at thirty-five miles per hour at anywhere from thirty to one-hundred-fifty feet above ground?

If your answer is "Yes!" then try zipping! 

Debbie and I did it yesterday at Hawknest Mountain in North Carolina - and it was a wonderful two hours! 

The guides were very helpful and patient.  One was always ahead of you and the other sent you off.  Although you're operating far from the ground, you are always cabled to a secure spot.  Safety is highly prioritized!

Our group of ten really bonded and cheered one another on.  We had so much fun!  At the end, the guides told us that we were the best group they'd ever led! 

It was a bit of a rush the first time you lift your legs and start flying.  All you hear is the zipping noise made as you slide along the cable.  The views were outstanding from 5,000 feet high in the Smokies! 

If you ever get the chance, spend the money!  Our group included a woman celebrating her eighty-first birthday!  You can do this!
