Zip lines and skydiving
Just got back from vacay with the wife. We zip lined in Lincoln , nh. This was crazy!!You start off by riding a 6 wheel Pinzgauer up the mountain. We did the more agressive course of 6 lines with lengths up to 1500 feet and 50+ mph!! Some of them you started way up 25-65 ft in the trees and others had starts on the land where you ran and jumped off. On some lines you are over 200 ft above the trees!! It was killer with all the fall foliage as you zipped down the mountain. Also some of them had side by side lines so you could race.
We then went to maine and tandem skydived, which was insane. This was my 2nd jump and the wifes 1st. It was just a small airstrip in the woods. The views were amazing. You look one way and see the white moutains, turn and see the atlantic , and then look and see the maine lakes.We had it videotaped which was well worth the $$$$. It was crazy when i was in free fall. I look up and the camera women is flying torwards us, then slows near me. I reached out and held her hand for 10 seconds as we fell so she could get some good video! It was amazing, im still high from the whole experience!! I will try to post some of the video and pix.
