You guys know that a bat in the bag beats two in the bush. Do you bag a bat or bat a bag? Perhaps you bat a bag that has bagged a bat. Now I am confused. Perhaps we should let Orkin Al do the bat bagging. Us Caveboys have better things to do.We gotta discover fire.
Rosie - Glad you are back. Thought it has been awfully quiet on the internet. I went ahead and signed you up for a flight on the zip line because I knew you ol' bats would want a chance to fly without having to flap your wings.
Had a computer break down for a couple of days - finally back up tonight! So what are you evil little caveboys planning? Did I read that Dale was zipping around on his trike while on the zipline? I can't wait to see that trick. Jim - I'm here -- so guess that means I don't get an automatic sign up for the zipline! Phew - I made it just in time!!!
HEY DIZZYDEAN, I'M THINKIN WE'LL ALL GET TOGETHER & MAKE SURE YOU'RE FEE IS PAID. YA'LL JUST PLAN ON ZIPPIN. MAW, I DON'T THINK YOUR OVER QUALIFIED AT ALL, YOU CAN PLAN ON FOLLOWIN DIZZYDEAN. MAN, I CAN'T HARDLY WAIT TILL THE STATE TRIKE-IN
Ok so I'm dizzy any way and almost thought I would try this but the price scared me out of it.....that's my story and I'm sticking to it.....yeah that's it
What's going on? Are all the old bats too blonde to figure out where we're at? Ain't natural for them to be this quiet. The last time they were this quiet was when Orkin Al first fired up his Bat Pulvilizer. Maybe they are cleaning out their cave.
I'M STILL THINKIN, HOTROD & I REALLY LIKE WATCHIN FROM OUR TRIKES. I NEVER EVEN CARED FOR THE LITTLE PONY MERRY GO ROUND. THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHIN AN OLE BAT SHOULD BE DOIN. AFTER ALL, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTIN DIZZY
I COULD SEE FERN & FAY RIDIN THAT THING

OK Guys, if you don't want to fly the friendly skies, I have another idea. Check out the movie at this site: http://btw-trikers.org/pic/merrygoround.wmv Think that would be a new game we can try?

I notice they use a redundent system with two cables in case one breaks. Hope the guy who installed the cables is not the same guy who installed the wiring in the shelter we use. I don't think that a "ground fault" is supposed to be a destination. The good news is that if you fall while you are over the river, the water will break you fall before you die. That way it is easier to clean up the mess.
I have never had the desire to jump out of a perfectly good airplane or jump off some high place with a rubber band attached to my foot!, I think I will keep Dale company on the ground and watch ya'all swing from a rope........I noticed the video didn't show any landings!, with me it probably wouldn't be a pretty sight!
I figure zip lineing is kind of like parachuting. Once you take that first step, you are pretty well committed. Perhaps a person should be committed before they take that step .Anyone else going with me?
HotRod - Check out the video at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57bmQ30CMFw There are other videos on the site but don't pay any attention to the ones that involves "fall". There are two of them in Branson now. One takes you off the top of the tower at Shepherd of the Hills. I'll bet you that when we get to Colorado they have some great ones there. You just have to find the ones that have transportation back to the top. Us old geezers get winded to easy to be walking up hills.

THE ONLY WAY I'LL DO A ZIP-LINE, IS IFIN I CAN GET ON AT THE BOTTOM THE OLE BATS HAVE AN ADVANTAGE, IF SOMETHIN GOES WRONG, THEY'VE GOT THEIR WINGS TO GET THEM OUT OF A MESS
Crash tells me that they now have a zip-line at Meremac. It crosses the river twice and the towers are 70 feet high. I think we should make that a group participation event at the State Trike-In. If we don't hear form you, we take it for granted you want to be included and will book you at the head of the list. .
