Ziplinin’

This weekend, I got the chance to go down to Hocking Hills and check out all there is to do there. I was surprised how beautiful it was. Saturday night was clear and the stars were unbelievable.

The hilight of the weekend other than sleeping in a tipi or teepee, whatevah, was ziplining at Hocking Hills Canopy Tour. I got the video from my camera and yes, that’s an up-my-nose shot half way through. I thought I could get my entire face but I just provided a brief shot of my nostrils. Hot, I know!

The noise you hear is what it sounds like. How do you stop yourself? With the suede gloves you have on your hands and a little pressure (read: friction) on the top of the wire. Trying to grab onto the wire is a no-no, think tearing off your arm in a quick motion. After all, you are going at times about 35mph. Heather and Mark were great guides, even if Heather did call me “Boo” the entire time. That’s a story for another entry. They made the tour fun and took a little bit of the nerves out of zipping down the lines, one of which is 580-some feet long.

So without any further ado, click on the video to experience the rush of Ziplining…

How about a certificate suitable for framing?

Nice nose shot right? I look forward to your comments,

  1. Wow you weren’t kidding around there. Now that you are an expert can we hook one from our apt buildings to the Harbor Inn?

  2. Oh – that made me almost as nauseous as I’m sure the real thing would have.

    But I always get queasy in those Imax movies too, so it’s me, not your filmmaking.

  3. Nice. That plays looks awesome – is it the one down in Columbus that the Plain Dealer wrote up a while back? My (ahem) ex and I had talked about going down there for a weekend – I still want to.
