Lisa and I went ziplining at Zip Chicago, an aerial ropes course in Marseilles, Illinois. We got fitted with helmets and harnesses and worked our way across the treetop course together, clipping in at each platform.

The course wound high through the trees on rope bridges and zip lines. We finished a little after four.

This is a VERY safe operation, which passes my professional safety inspection. OSHA would approve.

The folks were fantastic, and the tour was a lot of fun. We'll return for more.
