The Canyon's zip lining




 
 It was Austin's birthday (15) on October 6th and since he is too young to go skydiving we went zip lining.  The Canyon's in Ocala, FL is a beautiful and unexpected gem in the middle of north Ocala.  The zip lines are scattered about a limestone mine long since abandoned in the 1920's.  The foliage is lush and beautiful and cover the shear rock cliffs carved from the sweat and blood of the century past miners.  It looks like a land lost in time and definitely not something you would expect to find in central Florida.

We were all a little nervous on the first zip with the act of zipping being more manual control than we were expecting.  It wasn't just hang and go.  After our first couple of zips though we were "pros.'  The views and thrills were amazing and our guides Jenny and Devon were safe, professional, and kept us laughing the whole time.  They really made the experience memorable and over the top fun.  We can't wait to go again.
