Labor Day

We went camping this last weekend. It was mighty cold, but tons of fun. Of course, with Justin coming up with ideas, it could never be boring. Justin & Kyle had the brilliant idea to make a zip line. They used Kyle's winch on his outfit & hooked it to a high tree and brought it down to a lower tree. The kids & adults had a blast flying down the mountain side.

  2. Bree- they used the cable Kyle had on the front of his pickup. It's adjustable & went a long ways. They unrolled it & attached it to 2 trees. Then they got the tow strap hooks Brad had. They used those to go down on the cable. I think a heavy duty long rope would work between 2 trees. Hope this helps!
