Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire


The view from the bottom.



The view from the top before they let me fly.


A quick jaunt to New Hampshire this week resulted in me flying down a zip line from the top of a (big to me) mountain. We rode the ski lift to the top and once there, were strapped into these tiny red fabric seats. We had one lap belt. That's it. Can you say, "hold on tight?" You sit in the seat and are held back by a teen enjoying a minimum wage job. He will say, "ready?" and before you can answer he kicks open the trap door and down you go. Wheee...

After jamming into the stopper at the bottom and springing back with your feet over your head, you have arrived at the bottom. Funny, I couldn't wait to go back up!
