Mindy does a Challenge Course!!

There is a brand new Challenge Course at CWU and my department decided to try it out! We had so much fun! I am super scared of heights, so I am quite proud of myself that I did this. :):) Also, I got to know the people in my group really well, and they got to know me! They quickly realized that in stressful situations I tend to curse a lot.....

Here I am with Jacob, my partner, climbing the cargo net to get up on the course.
The first step is a doosy!
Yay! We made it to the first section!
Yeah, thats me on a wire rope! Notice how I am holding onto my ropes....totally "white knuckling" it. That is 18 feet in the air.

This is 30 feet in the air....
We made it! We had so much fun. Each section of the course you have to figure out as a team how you are going to get across.

This is the entire course. I am in the yellow on the bottom left. There were two other groups going through at the same time.

Look! There is another group above us!
Yeah, thats right, I am hugging Jacob, I am okay admitting it. I was SCARED OUT OF MY MIND!
Ok, during the whole time on the course I never thought about how we were to get down...lol. Oh yeah, there was a zip line off the top!  I WAS SO SCARED! But at the same time it was so fun!
WHEEE!
Maybe when all of you come visit we can get a team together...??? HUH??? Any takers??? :):)

    I'm amazed you did this.....
