Ziplining fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carolina Ziplines Tour


http://www.carolinaziplines.com/index.html


I set this up for one of our staff workdays. Everyone had a GREAT time enjoying this team building FUN day!

After the first short zip across a ravine, the ziplines move up into the treetops, where Nickell (the owner) built a station-to-station course with cables of varying lengths and steepness.

You take off from (and land on) wooden platforms that he has lashed to the trees with thick metal cables. They sway a bit, but that’s because Nickell was careful to suspend them without having to drive stakes and nails into the trees. They’re plenty safe, and afford views of the forest below that you otherwise couldn’t get unless you’re covered with brown fur and hoard acorns for food.

You can go as fast or as slow as you want. If you stick your feet straight out in front of you and lie back flat, you can cut down on the wind resistance and really get moving. You brake by pulling down on the wire with a heavily padded and gloved hand.

It was sooooooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!   We even managed to make the local newspaper and TV news.
