Vacation time again!

Taurus Babe · 05-03-2007, 01:55 PM

Any idea's? We are keeping it cheap. It's my birthday! I'm thinking camping, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and zip line courses. Anyone have any info on zip line courses? Or suggestions of where, what to do? Thanks!!!! We are keeping it semi local, OR, WA and Maybe N. Cali.

I'm not from your area, so can't suggest places, but the things to do sound great. I love camping and fishing.

Passionfruition · 05-03-2007, 04:14 PM

Sounds like a great vacation - I hope to get to vacation in that area someday. Have fun and good luck planning. I wish I could help you plan but I support you on the idea!

I looooove zip lines!

Mandy · 05-03-2007, 11:29 PM

That sounds like fun! Good luck in your search, and enjoy the trip!

Oh, oh oh! I want to go fishing! That's one of my most favorite things to do... even though I don't like to fish. LOL
I absolutely *love* going out in the boat, relaxing on the water, and maybe even reading a book or something.

A zip line is one of those steel cable lines way up in the air that you ride (downhill slope) from one point to another. Some go from just a hill...down, others go over canyons, water....etc.

Thanks Janet!
Well no wonder I didn't know!

You'd have about as much chance of getting me to do that as you would getting me to jump from a perfectly good airplane!

Yeah, me too. I keep my feet where I can either walk or tread. I'll stay on land or water, that's about it.

YES yes yes!

Taurus Babe · 05-04-2007, 08:23 PM

We are def. going to Napa Valley. We decided that today! Wine tasting...here we come! I don't think the zip line thing is going to work out cause I can't find any courses in any three states!

Thanks for the comments!

highlans · 05-04-2007, 11:52 PM

Ahh we call them zip wire over here should have conected

we do not I think have mega big one's any where, but small ones the kids can go on in parks only a few feet off the ground. Glad I was not the only confused one Tink

Janet · 05-05-2007, 02:58 AM

At this point I wouldn't care where I went or what I did, just as long as I could go.......................ALONE! I'm tired, emotionally exhausted, and I want to go somewhere relaxing. I'm still waiting for school to let out (15 more days) and hope I have enough money so I can go to one of those spas you all talk about. That sounds like heaven to me....someone making your body feel so good and not have to worry about 'faking' it. Ah what a life...!

AngieDoogles · 05-05-2007, 07:52 AM

Zip lines are SO much fun. (Interesting fact, my hubby is actually qualified to build them and has done so before!) I used to work at a camp that had a 750 foot triple zip line and you could go down with two other people at the same time. It was TONS of fun. I also really enjoy camping, hiking, and horseback riding. It sounds like you are going to have an amazing vacation!!

Wish I could go, lol!

I attached a picture of the very bottom of the zip line, but you can go here to see more: Doe River Gorge
