A High Wire Act Over the Georgia Treetops

The third leg of the mid-air tour was to be done on a high wire — a single wire traversing 60-80 feet of open air. Oh, we had side wires to hold on to and we did for dear life. But it turned out to be something we just stepped out and did, although quite carefully.

Read how we did it!

Georgia Tree Canopy Tour Gets More Challenging

The zip line we had just traversed was fun. I kept my eyes open. I took in all the beautiful scenery. And I landed on my feet. It went fast, but no butterflies or flip-flops in my stomach as the zip line was more horizontal than vertical. No big plunge as on a roller-coaster or bungee jump. Very, very fun. Then we discovered that the next several legs of the canopy tour did not involved flying in the air, but walking on air! Oh-h-h my!

I took these pictures of everyone getting instruction before the 2nd leg of the tour. Note how high up it is!

X-Tremely High Flying Getaway in Georgia

Maybe you’re an adventurer, an X-Treme sport nut. Maybe you can’t even remember the first time you traversed a zip line. But Jamie, Loralee and I are not really X-Treme — well at least we weren’t X-Treme until we took the zip line “plunge” in Georgia.1st-60-foot-tower.jpg tish-on-1st-zip-line.jpgNow we think of ourselves as pretty X-Treme, I guess. We went out to Historic Banning Mills (just outside Atlanta) specifically to put ourselves to the test — the Tree Canopy Tour looked like fun, but could we really do it?

Find out in the rest of this post!

X-Treme Getaway — Do You Have the Mental Stamina to Do It?

How good are you at facing difficult situations? Putting “mind over matter” to do what needs to be done, no matter how challenging? I have an adventure that will certainly test — X-tremely test — your mental stamina. I just came back from Georgia (right outside of Atlanta) where I and two friends took this X-Treme test. It challenged our beings down to the very core. When we were done, we knew what we were made of. It took our fears (and make no mistake, at least one of us had significant fears) and reduced them to nothing. Then, after 3 hours, we looked back and said, “We did that?!!!” We did indeed and lived to tell about the adventure. Read more….
