Was that the zip line with a bunch of stops and takes like an hour? A lot of great stones to lift in the Peme. You do the polar caves? flume?

Thanks brother, yeah you keep getting stronger and I keep getting older!!! But its all good; recovered fully now await the next knife in September ( minor)! Would my previous deload count: I jumped out of a plane? My son and I did tandem jumps from 14,500 feet…there was no sign in the doorway that said ’ watch your first step"!!

Steve, the zip line gig was 5 different runs…we booked it from Alpine Adventures in Lincoln ( I would definitely recommend it)…it’s about 2.5 hours including check-in and the whole deal…the zip lining itself is about an hour…sick 80 ft drop to start the last run!! And yes, the Peme was full of round river rock, if I had my truck with me I might have highjacked a few; not that anyone keeps count!! …you my friend have an endless supply! yup did the polar caves, didn’t make the flume, but had an awesome couple of days including a great fire with the family where we just sat around and were a family and I even allowed my boy to have a couple of beers…it was killer! Everyone was happy…even my daughter!!

and to display who is still the Alpha Male of the clan…I kicked ass at mini golf!!

That’s great you and the family had such a fun time. I’ve never done that zip line. Have to check it out next week while on vacation. That’s if I’m not over the weight limit.
