Birds eye view
- 1. Birds Eye View By: Jessica McIntosh One foot after another, Youve got this Jessica, I told myself encouragingly, After what seemed like hours but was only about two minutes of the climbing the wooden stairs I got to the top. As I take the final step, my harness buckles jingle. Finally I step onto the platform. Are you ready to go!? The Springhill employee standing also on the platform says ..Yes, I say hesitantly. Alright, come here! she says. I slowly walk toward her, my legs feel like lead. She picks up my harness and attaches it to my wire. I plop onto the ledge and look down. The moment I did that instantly I regretted it. All I see is many (I think) people who look like ants on the ground. Ok, you can go your up first! The excited Springhill employee says as she finishes strapping everyone in. Ok Jess take the leap of faith! I say to myself. The last thing I wouldve thought I would be doing was jumping off of a platform hanging right over a lake. The only support was my harness and 1 遜 inch wire. Boom just like that I jump off. When Im flying through the air I let go. I suddenly realize what fun Im having. I let the air rush through my hair and look at the beautiful scenery above and below me. WOOOHOO! I cry almost laughing. I felt my line catch and I come to a halt. I suddenly realize that its over. Wait! I say as they are taking my harness off of the wire. Thats it!? I wanna go again! But sadly I know I have to wait until next year when I come back to Springhill and ride the zipline again. The End
