    Zip Lining

    Guys if you have never done this you have to do it. Just an all out blast to do and totally safe. We went last year and did the lines at Red River Gorge and this year the ones at Black Mountain. Both are great and one line at Black mountain is a little over 500 feet high. One line at RRG is right at one mile and takes barely over one whole minute at 55mph to get to the other side.

    Go do it, it's fanatastic and with groupon tickets bought on-line we just did the Black mountain lines 12 in all for 39 bucks a piece.

    Don this is right up you and your friend's alley man. I've seen your pics and your group and you would be all over this deal. Red river Gorge is a nice trip, you guys need to do it, it totally ROCKS.

    GEO I used the same excuse at gulf shores this year while on vacation with my wife only i had written documentation on the travel brochure that stated 250 was the max weight. I told her she could do and i would take pics. I could breath a sigh of relief that i didnt meet the requirements. I have did alot of crazy things in my life but when it comes to connecting myself to a wire and going from point A to point B dangling from the wire. Nope its not happening.

    I did it in pigeon forge tn. And it was a blast. Took video of it with my gopro attached to my helmet! Pretty cool experience.

    My old lady has been wanting me to go for awhile but I'm terrified of heights and I can't bring myself to do it and probably won't. Call me a chicken sh@$ or whatever but it just seems so sketchy to me. With my luck I'd be halfway down the line and actually enjoying it when all of the sudden SNAP..... Lol

    I went on the Black Mountain zip line last year and it was awesome. I went in October when the leaves were changing color which made for a great view as you were zipping through and over the trees.

    Black Mountain is great! I was kind of iffy at first but would love to do it again. Deff get a group of people to get the cheaper price. I think there were 8 of us and we got it for $40. It is a lot of fun and the fall is the best time to do it.
