1500 Foot Zip Line... what a rush!
Posted: Sep 22, 2008 7:00 am
For both of our Birthdays, Jules and I decided to go on a Canopy Tour at Banning Mills, Georgia. (Near Carrollton). Dave Mcrae, Cindy, and Cheryl joined us and we had a blast. Imagine the Tyrolean Traverse, but four times as long! Here are some videos and photo links for those so inclined. Want to do it yourself? Just google Banning Mills Canopy Tour.

CaverScott on the third zipline. Pay attention at 13 seconds to see the lodge building on right and then I pan to the creek we cross over around 18 seconds. This video was done thanks to Dave McRae who designed a camera mount we could hold in our mouths!
