Sometimes, you just have to take a break, take a risk, and go on an adventure.
Visiting my daughter and her family, we were fortunate to get a last-minute reservation for ziplining in Redwood country. We went on the Tree Tops Tour: 250 feet above the forest floor and up to 40 mph. Seven zip lines, two sky bridges and a 45-foot final rappel. Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!
Here’s today’s haiku: Zip a dee doo dah Day
Zip fear – unzip your
freedom – go soaring through the
Sonoma Redwoods
You can be sure; I was very mindful regarding every instruction offered and every takeoff and reentry.

Who says mindfulness is about doing zip?!

Great stuff Patrick, very well done. 👍. I’ve done things like this too, but it was never as satisfying as, to me, real mountaineering stuff. However, that is NOT a critique of anyone and what they do and achieve. I also do zip lines and via Ferrara now, and only my daughter and wife know of my Himalayan adventures.

Thank you, Dr B. I was fortunate to have my 14-year-old granddaughter lead the way. Whatever “butterflies in the stomach” arose, I was determined to follow her example.

Wow, that’s so cool, I’ve never tried this before but it sounds fun (in a terrifying way like bungee jumping).
