Zipline Anniversary Adventure


We celebrated our 3rd Anniversary this past week. We prefer to provide each other adventures as opposed to things because memories last a lifetime.
I gave Myron a Zipline adventure, with an overnight stay at a  B and B and a nice dinner in Fayetteville!
The weather was spectacular! Sunny, warm in the high 70's and fresh clean air provided us the perfect day for zipping through the canopies of 200 foot trees, crossing rope bridges and climbing spiral staircases high above the pine needle carpeted ground.  The drive was less than 90 minutes to get to the destination. www.zipquest.com is a relatively new ecological zipline in a forest with a waterfall in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Our guides reminded us of Jeff...fun, enthusiastic, athletic and humorous. After a short ground lesson we started off on our 8 zips, 3 suspension bridges and 2 spiral staircases through the dappled forest. Our group was an interesting group of people and we all had a terrific time.
The speeds on the zip were around 40 mph between 50 and 150 feet above the ground. I recommend it highly.
Our B and B was run by Gloria and she was a terrific hostess and a superb massage therapist. 
But the adventure doesn't end here. On our drive back we stopped at the NC State Fair, strolled and gawked and I ate some Fried Dough ( yummy).

Love 
Anna and Myron
