Well this weekend was a hoot. I don't know why a hoot, it's just one of the old lady words that makes you laugh. So that's that. Scooter was really nice and brought up her pretty new slackline. Pretty much its a piece of webbing (ropey like thing) set up between two trees. The point of it is to walk across and use balance. This might look easy my friends, but believe me, it's a bit of a challenge!
Funny story... a young maintenance guy drove by TC4 in his truck and stopped to watch and we asked if he wanted to give it a go. Of course! He ran over and jumped up on it and I swear he did a 360 when he was flung off it. It was hilarious. When we asked if he wanted to try again he replied, "of course, I can't get flung off like that and not try again." It was great. He got up the second time and did pretty well. He was one of those fast stepper types and got decently far. As he was headed out he let us know that it was a lot harder than it looked.
We all did pretty well and I have to tell you it was addicting. The rush you got from it and the pure challenge of it was just great. I really think we could have been out there for hours on end, but we were working. Scoot promised us though that she will bring it up to camp when she comes up. Nice, my goal it to get four or five good steps the next time I'm on it. Yay! Too fun. :o)
Thanks again Scoots! We got some great pics taken by Rae and Scoot too!
