Oct. 4 was a beautiful autumn day. The colors of the leaves on the trees were highlighted by the sun and a clear blue sky. It was a great day to be alive and I had just completed the second of 10 zip lines at the Hocking Hills World Class Canopy Tour. My legs felt like rubber, my heart was beating rapidly and it seemed as if all of the nerves in my body were on “high alert.” I was standing about 40-50 feet above the ground on a small wooden deck with no railing that was built around a tree. What crazy idea had led me to this point?
