[Woodcarver] Carving Cruise photo - was Fwd: Forward of moderatedmessage

[Donna Menke]

It was fun- but not as scary as I'd expected. I would have liked it more scary, but it was enjoyable none-the-less. Mostly it was a learning experience. It takes a certain amount of skill to keep your body under control while you are zinging along on that wire. There is never any danger though. I just didn't want to screw up and look a fool and have to have one of the guys come rescue me in the middle of the run. They were all very nice fellows though and made us feel like we could do it. Some of the people didn't get around to braking as they reached the platforms and the guys had to stop them with their bodies. That explains the heftiness of the guys. A lightweight fellow would be knocked right off the platform- and it was a long way down!
Great experience-
Donna Menke
