While zipping in Skamania, my guide told me about a zipline that had just opened on Silver Lake.
I was able to find info and drove to Treehouse Island.
The owner, Grady, took us by boat across Silver Lake to the Island. We then zipped 5 lines through beautiful trees. We climbed a lot of ladders, but we were always hooked in so even a misstep on the ladder we would not have fallen.
My guide, along with Grady was Chi!
A very beautiful place and a nice day ziplining.
There were views of Mt St Helens as we were going across the lake. I couldn't see the top because of clouds, but we had a blue sky and nice temps for being out and about!

A very nice resort with absolutely beautiful views of the Columbia River and the Cascade Mountains.
It was an awesome 7 line tour with my fabulous guides, Brooklynn and Aaron.

On Sunday morning I arrived at the Adventure park and met Mark, VP of operations. The park has a lot to offer. Malibu racecars, ziplining, bungee jumping, reverse bungee jumping and more.
You can see Mt Hood from anywhere in the park, but seeing it zipling is really awesome!
They have 2 lines which I enjoyed.
I then decided to do the bungee jumping...my first time! Very different jumping off this platform..., but I did it and it was awesome!
I next tried reverse bungee jumping. I laid on the cushions and then an line pulled me up into the air. WOW! really cool. I went upside down and right side up! I liked it!

I next drove to Camp Dakota.
This is a great place to camp. They also have a big paintball area.
We first zipped 3 lines twice that went over a pond.
Then I zipped 4 other lines with just the guides. They were longer and faster.
A great adventure and nice place for families.
My wonderful guides were Chewy, Hurricane and Zade!

Visited with my friend Debbie W, in Albany for a couple of days. Had a great visit! We just hung out and caught up on our lives!
I left Trees of Mystery and drove up the coast, soon reaching Oregon. I love the coast of Oregon...it is sooo beautiful!
Some fog was rolling in, but as I drove farther North it dissipated to I was able to drive all the way to Reedsport, Oregon, to my friend's, Debbie and Tim's house; arriving at 9:00 P.M., just after dark!
I spent Thursday - Monday writing on the blog and trying to catch up, and enjoying visiting with my friends.
