We arranged to go on a 'Zip Line' ride over the forest canopy for June 5th. We began downtown at their offices, where we piled in the back of a 2-Ton 4-Wheel-drive pickup truck and sat on side-benches with a plastic tarp covering us from any weather. In this rig, we lumbered off up the road to the mountains where soon we turned off the pavement onto a dirt track where we began to heave and pitch like on a 'bull ride'. We were laughing so hard at the situation and the thought of how many folks would end this adventure right there. Soon the climb got much steeper and we were reduced to a 'compound-low' crawl up a dirt-and-rock road. Many, many laughs later, we came to a small high-elevation valley with a small, but very new lodge with a lovely deck and patio and all of the amenities.

Here we are after they 'geared' us up to get ready for our 'Zip-Line' adventure.
