A horrible sleep of a room too warm and up at 5 and could not get back to sleep. Watched a movie on my phone and drifted in and out of consciousness until 8. Up, dressed, fed and out the door with Cindy Darby Hailey and Jacob and eastern bound 90 minutes to the Skytrek Adventure park.
Friends of Darby and Cindys from Carstairs met us and we chose the high ropes course. We waited about 20 minutes until we had a big enough group as well as an instructor and away we went!
We were shown how to hook up all our equipment and walk the ropes and boards and then zipline and off we went.
The course started with the Green section - lots of fun things but not very challenging. Gradually we made our way to the blue section with more challenging things. Moving boards - elevation - and some downright scary stuff. After 2 hours just when I thought we were coming to a conclusion, little did I know or expect to be shown the DOUBLE BLACK SECTION FROM HELL. The craziest part of the course and a total upper body workout like you've never had. Of course we had to try every section of it as all our kids were doing it.
This was the most physically demanding and exhausting thing I had done in my life since branding and castrating 400 head of cattle with my old roommate Wayne Bauche back in June of 96.
We finished up there and to celebrating our SURVIVAL by heading to Three Valley Gap for lunch. A great meal and 4 minutes in the vibrating chair to move some solidified muscle mass. We drove back to Sicamous and had an ice cream cone and bought some fruit and headed to Salmon Arm. We dropped off a library book and arrived back at the lake after 7. A quick snack and down to the dock for a seadoo ride. Jacob was ecstatic and can't wait to do it again.
We headed back to the cabin for Breakfast Supper with eggs bacon toast and hash browns. A couple episodes of friends and we called it a night.
