Kauai, HI - Tyfoid Kid - Thursday, April 6th, 2006 : goo

If you ever get a chance to do a zipline tour DO IT!! I thought it would be kinda hairy. You're going over these valleys on a cable that was 400 to 700 feet long and in some places over 200 feet above the ground. But it was SO MUCH FUN!! The height isn't a big deal because the trees are so close to you you feel like your about 50' off the ground. The sensations is like flying. I would have done it every day.
In this other pic the guide goaded me and my friend Chris into doing the Dead Man Drop. Arms out streched, letting yourself drop backwards. It was very cool.

that looks awesome! ive done a zipline before, but it was much, much shorter than this one, and not very high off the ground... (plus, you crashed into a tree at the end if you werent careful, heh!)
what did you do when you got to the end of the line?

I did one of those too, a short one like Peter did I guess, and fun! But the scariest thing I have ever done was a mock-jump off a tower. All you have to do is step off the platform and the line attached to your harness will catch you- but that free-fall is really really scary. Exhilirating too. Watch out for the riser kiss!

There were 8 lines in total. Some had ramps at the end some just like a dirt strip they'd carved out of the hill. They'd yell at you to "start running" as you came in so you didn't biff on your face or back. They took us around and we did them in sequence with a stop for lunch at this cool swimming hole.
jack: hawaii, paradise they are one in the same.
