      Beautiful spring weather today.  Went up a 200 step mini incline in Castle Rock, which was hard.  Met 3 whipcracking enthusiasts who were practicing and were willing to share their time and expertise.  Who knew that whipcracking was a thing! Not me.   Now I may have to go back to watch the Indiana Jones movies.  They had an actual whip used in one of the movies, by a stunt person of course. 

     The park had a climbing wall, 10 zip-lines, and a 4 story rope adventure course. It was an amazing place. Not that I will ever do those things.....maybe the roped adventure course but only the lower 2 levels.  I cannot do heights.
