I next drove to Rowdy Adventures in Okolona, Arkansas. They have 14 awesome lines through the trees. I had a great time.
They also have a free fall swing, that I did not try, and other activities.
It was a very hot day, but they kept us hydrated with several stops where we received bottles of water! A very nice tour with a great bunch of people!
Thanks!

Today I drove from Conway, Arkansas to The Zip Lines at Ouachita Bend in Malvern, Arkansas. I arrived at 10 A.M., just after their last tour for the day. However, I was able to join the tour on Line 3. It was beautiful; really in the woods and the views were wonderful. When we finished, my awesome guides, Keturah and Clay, took me on the first two lines which were the highest and longest lines of the tour.
I was also able to meet the owners: Cindy and Bruce Smith!
Thanks for a great time!

Well, I have been at the McDonald's in Conway, Arkansas for about 5 hours catching up! I think everyone is on the blog. I am hoping for some more pics to be sent to me by various people on my tours. As I receive pics and/or more info, I will add it to the appropriate blog post!
Please make comments under the different zipline places if there is info I have left out or you were on the tour and want to add something.
All comments are welcome!
I have now zipped in 6 states this trip (since June 1) and 11 states total including those I zipped last year.
I have zipped 32 different places on this trip and a total of 39!
Very cool!
I drove to Mountain View, Arkansas and was able to zip their long, high zipline. This zipline had a different pulley system than any of the others I had zipped. It was very quiet and when I go to the end they brought me back to the tower on the same line; pretty cool!
Owners are Bob and Judy Cox. I had the pleasure of meeting Bob!
After I zipped, I jumped off the 40 ft high tower with a similar pulley system I had used before. It stops just before you hit the ground. LOL It is a rush!
Enjoyed myself!
They have an awesome looking ropes challenge course with 30 obstacles, but I was not feeling strong and energetic enough to try it out! Ropes challenge courses are a lot of work, but fun!
I left and drove to Conway.

I arrived in Hardy, Arkansas on Thursday evening and found the Zippin Griffin office.
I returned the next morning and the manager, Melanee, was able to get me on an 11:00 A.M. tour. It was a lot of fun. I was with four kids who had never zipped before. Ages 7, 8, 9 & 11.
There were 5 smaller lines through the camp and one long line that was 1800 feet long and 350 feet high...it was awesome; over 50 mph!
My wonderful guides were Joseph and Travis!

When driving to BRCT that morning, I had past a sign that said Zipline, so I went to investigate and found the Iron Horse Zipline at Horseshoe Canyon. I met the owner of Horseshoe Canyon, Barry Johnson, and he sent me out with two great guides, Morgan and Rudy.
Morgan and I climbed a very steep, high, rocky path to the top of a ledge where I was strapped into a harness. I zipped a 1/2 mile at speeds of up to 60 mph. What an awesome view and the speed was exhilarating!
Loved it!
Rudy was waiting at the end where he set a compression spring that stopped me when I got to the end.
This is a dude ranch and has any other activities.

I drove to Buffalo River Canopy Tour in Ponca, Arkansas on Wednesday afternoon even though I know they are only open Thursday through Sunday. I was in luck and there was someone at the office who booked me for a 9:00 A.M. tour the next morning.
After checking in at 8:30 A.M. I drove about 5 miles to the start of the tour. After a safety speech from Traci, she released us into the capable hands of Lisa and Beth who did an awesome job of keeping us safe and having fun!
It was a very enjoyable tour!
