Frightened mother landing
Father landing from second long zip. The attendant saw my prescription glasses fall from my pant pocket when I left this launch platform. He climbed down to retrieve them, but stopped when confronted by a snake.
Due to my misunderstanding I, I left the head strap I modified to support a video camera at Carla's condo. I tried putting it in my pants and hanging it from my belt before the other guide noticed I was trying to video my ride.  He provided an additional strap, so I could hold my camera between my knees.  It worked great. Here is Bill riding the longest zip line in the series. Luckily I copied the video to my MacBook before I left the camera at the restaurant at which we had lunch.
