I had my first adventure of zip lining this past weekend at WIRED in Canton, Texas. Although I was worried the weather was determined to keep us from enjoying this experience ,we made it through just in time. It rained on us all the way from Dallas to Canton and sprinkled on and off for about an hour after we arrived. Cindy and Shirley were there with all their wonderful guides prepared to take us on this awesome zip line challenge course.
We started this challenge with the help of the awesome guides who assisted with our harness's, helmet and glove gear. After we were all geared up (literally) we went over to ground school to learn the proper way to sit in the harness and how to stop yourself when your guide tells you too. Although it was the first time for everyone to try this in our group, I seemed to need a little extra practice, hey! third time is a charm, right?! Once we completed ground school and received our Wired wings we climbed up the tallest tower to start our journey through the zip line course. The first line was so exhilirating and made me anxious for the next one! We went on to zip the longest line in Texas and another one over a swampy area where I got to see a beaver! Then I approached the end and was sent down to zip the last line that completed my challenge.
We had such an amazing time at WIRED! The guides were all so very helpful and entertaining to say the least. Visit their website at www.ziptheusa.com for more information about the zip line challenge!
