Who knew there was killer zip lining less that an hour from Atlanta? I didn't until about a week ago when I was checking out friend's Facebook posts and saw something about a zip line tour. When I googled zip lines + Georgia...Bannings Mill in Whitesberg Georgia. Less than 10 minutes later I was booked for the Flight Pattern Plus zip line tour for this past Saturday.
When we arrived, we met up with a cool group of folks we were going to be touring the treetops with. First thing, we climbed up about 4 stories to this platform where the guides instruct you on how not to fall to your death!!! I was the first to go in my group so I stepped onto this little plank where and I hurled yourself into the air. You actually get up to about 50 mph, soaring over trees, a river and other cool scenery. To get to the next zip line you have to climb/cross these tricky wire bridges that take you higher and deeper into the woods. Basically, your climbing through the forest like a monkey! The entire tour took about 2.5 hours and it was a ton of fun!!
