Outdoor Adventures Time! Tuesday, period 1

[Week #6 - The High-wire Job]

Another Tuesday, another portal - this one to Virginia Beach, Virginia, and the Virginia Beach Adventure Park.



“I have been waiting all semester for this!” Parker was looking squeeful and other EE! words. “Ropes course! With ziplines and high wires and canopy walks!”

"The courses are rated on all different levels," Eliot said. "So those of us who aren't professionals when it comes to ropes and harnesses shouldn't have any trouble finding something fun to do, anyway." He didn't really anticipate any trouble with enthusiasm from this group. Honestly, he'd been feeling relatively extraneous all session. You know, when they weren't getting attacked by alots.

“You have to wear your protective gear. And listen to the safety presentation.” Parker snorted, then said under her breath, “My stuff is better.”

Eliot patted her reassuringly on the shoulder. "We know, darlin'. But your stuff ain't covered under the park's insurance."

“Just ask if you need help. Or ideas,” Parker added, grinning at them. “There aren’t any diamonds on this course, but you can’t have everything.”

Riding ATs all the time kept Ringo in excellent shape, but it wasn't really the sort of thing that built a lot of upper body strength. Which meant that Ringo wasn't about to do much in the way of crazy tree climbing or swinging or anything.

But lower body strength and an inhuman sense of balance did enable some pretty sweet jumps, leaps, and flips whenever two parts of the course found themselves close enough to each other.

Eventually she took a breather, perched on one of the higher ropes, and just taking in the view. Maybe she could find someone to play tag with...
