Camp Joan - Year Two - Day 5 - The Campers take flight

Thursday was a good day.


We woke, ate breakfast, and at about 10:00 we went to a farm.
'
At the farm, there were animals, including a horse, a pig, and a limping goat. Oddly enough, no cows. Weird. Anyways, there was a huge zipline. I decided to not be a wimp and go on the zipline. We suited up, put our helmets on, and, after a brief description of our equipment, Sara went on the zipline, followed by Molly, then me.



The sense of height wasn't that great, but the speed made up for it. You could be going 25 miles an hour at one point. There were two ziplines, and the first one was better. You got that maximum speed and you got a pretty good view of cornfields.

We stopped at the second station. Sara was long gone from there, and Molly had a bit of trouble with her equipment, but she fixed it and she was off.  To see Molly flying go to:


To watch Dan, go to: 



The second line was not as fun. It was uphill (kinda-sorta) and it just straight up wasn't as enjoyable. The quarter mile up a hill wasn't exactly fun, either. It was hot, you're in gear, a helmet...not fun.


After that, we stopped at a depressing-looking Popeyes, ate lunch, went to Saint Rose, took forensics, got picked up by Uncle Len, and went back to Camp Joan.



Quote of the day:

"I figure this is as close to being Spiderman as I'm gonna get..." - Dan, while looking at the zipline.
