Wednesday July 3 Lark Valley Ziplines

One of the customers at EW told me about a zipline in French Lick, Indiana, but said it was only open Fri - Sun, so I headed west. At the first rest area I stopped to look for zipline fliers and saw the one from Lark Valley Ziplines in French Lick, Indiana. I decided to call and found out that they were open, so I headed that way; I was only 35 miles away. 

I was asked if I could be there by 3 P.M. (it was 2:15) and I said that I could. I was rushing trying to get there when I looked at my phone and realized I was on CDT so I had an extra hour. Well, ignorance is bliss because, what I didn't know for a couple of days is, I was an hour late. I had crossed back into EDT. No one ever said a word... Best I didn't know until later for I am one that consider myself late if I am not 15 minutes early.

The owner, Matt Lark, was there and he sent me on a private tour with his four best guides, Kyle, Adam, Kayla and Ashley! We all had a blast. They were so much fun. I went on 10 zips through a beautiful canopy and ended with 3 long lines, 1800 ft, 2200 ft and 2400 ft.

Now, Matt is a character and we got along great! We also went for a nice Mexican dinner.

He then called his friend, Gary, in Nashville, Indiana, and sent me up there to zip his lines and also talked him into letting me have a great cabin for the night.

Wednesday July 3 Eagles Wings Zipline

I received a passport book from Squire Boone Zips in which I can collect signatures from 3 other Indiana ziplines. Learning about Eagles Wings Zipline in Leopold, Indiana, I next headed there.

They have a very nice facility and some awesome ziplines through the trees. My guides were Jenna and Bailey and they took good care of us. A beautiful tour with 8 ziplines.

Tuesday July 2 Squire Boone Zipline Adventures

I left Louisville about noon, not knowing where I was going, but headed in the direction of St Louis.

Seeing a roadside sign about a new zipline at Squire Boone Caverns, I headed that way. 

Squire Boone Zip is owned and operated by two sisters, Jean and Robin! The tour consists of 6 ziplines spanning 1600 feet and a 50 foot swinging suspension bridge. It is a beautiful canopy tour. Enjoyed my afternoon!
