A good friend of mine, Smoak, wrote and invited Wendy & I on another adventure. Banning Mills' Zip Line, down around Carrollton, Ga. The 20, or so, in our group had all signed up for the Extreme Package with them. It was not loosely named ! whew, but what FUNN!
There were 4 or 5 zip lines, and too many bridges to cross to count.
This was the first obstacle for us to overcome. About 6 stories to the top of this first tower.
This was the view from the first tower. The landing was on the ground with this one. I believe they said some of us were getting up to 60 mph, before gravity started slowing our progress. If you came in to fast,,they would give you the signal to brake, which was reaching up with your gloved hand and gently squeezing the cable.

Another view on a different line.
And another view.
This was one of the most impressive bridges we had to cross. The stream, and surroundings, were gorgeous ! The bridge was challenging, to say the least,,,,omg.
This was the last bridge to cross, after you got back on the ground. It was the toughest out of all of them for me.

This was a very nice, and professional run, extreme adventure. I am trying to find a site to post my pictures. Once I do that,,will let everyone know.
