Saturday September 7 Tunnel Ziplines Chelan, Washington

Zipped 4 lines at Tunnel Ziplines with gorgeous views. My awesome guides were Randall and Derrik. Enjoyed talking with owners Richard and Loretta. The last line is the fastest line I have zipped...hit 60 mph.

Gorgeous views of the Columbia River.


















Friday September 6 Space Needle Seattle, Washington

I had the most awesome time at the Space Needle! 

I had been there before in 1962, when it was first built, for the Seattle World's Fair. I remembered going up in the outside glass elevators. I had seen Mt Rainier. It was a magnificent site.

I have to say, I was not disappointed. I loved the view. It was hazy so I could not see Mt Rainier, but that is OK, I saw plenty!

To be in a place that was so memorable to me from 9 years old, 51 years later, it so cool!

Thanks Sean!







Thursday September 5 Zip San Juan San Juan Island, Washington

So I started out taking a ferry from Anacortes to San Juan Island. It was a beautiful ride. I did not take my car because I only had two blocks to walk when I got there.

I had a great time zipping with my two awesome guides, Ace and Marie. 

Beautiful views!

Wednesday September 4 Nantucket Inn Anacortes, Washington

I had a wonderful place to stay in Anacortes! I will get some history on the place and add more later. The owners are Matt and Caren. Nice room and nice view!




Wednesday September 4 Canopy Tours NW Camano Island, Washington

Zipped  6 lines through Douglas Fir, Red Cedar and Alder trees. Beautiful! My awesome guides were Travis and Aron!

Met Nancy, who owns the place along with 4 of her siblings! The 200+ acres has been in the family for over 100 years.

I really like that they have nice placards through the course with lots of info. If you can't read the ones I have pictured, they are on their website.

Monday September 2 Treehouse Island Zipline Adventures Silver lake, Washington

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!
