All Dressed Up & Ready to Go
Getting all hooked up to run the obstacle course at the Adventure Park in Harper’s Ferry.
Pretty excited about the challenges to come
the last thing I had expected was looking 30 feet down the ground.
The guide asking me to jump!
You want me to jump off this?
There is nothing more fun than challenging your mind and body on this challenge course. You should give it a try!
The Challenge Course

Hey, you’re making me dizzy! Nice shots and short narrative.
Thanks Tom ! Don’t look down. 🙂
Heights really scare me. I am working on this and I am making progress, maybe a challenge like yours is in order.
It really is a challenge for me too Charlie. I was really scared of heights and started with a much smaller challenge course than this one. Three years later and I’m not afraid like I used to. Certainly worth a try. You’re quite safe thanks to the harness system.
I’d love to try. I once jumped from about a 5 meter-high platform into the sea in Greece accepting the challenge from my hubby and son, who had already jumped. I couldn’t lose face in front of them.
Wow, that must have been a thrill ! Jumping into the Mediterranean off the Greek coast. Fabulous and I bet the water was cold.
I am so glad that I can live vicariously through your adventures. You could not get me up more than 5 feet above solid terra firma! Have I told you lately how amazing you are!!!!!
You are truly too sweet Rebecca. Now come on..you wouldn’t do this with me? We can find a smaller one. 🙂
You always inspire me to take just a little more risk. OK, but I like the idea of smaller…
Oh my goodness, this looks like fun!
Thank you for sharing these here.
It was great fun and a super mental and physical challenge. These courses are becoming more and more popular. I bet there is one near you.
That looks incredible! Good for you that you accomplished this.
I would jump off a diving board into a nice pool of water. 😀
But just how tall is that diving board. Some are 30 feet as well. Remember those cement platforms?

Need of the hour
Thank you so much for sharing this with your readers.
pleasure
I can just see me getting all tangled up.
Amazingly you don’t get tangled up at all. That is unless you’re on the rope bridges. Those are tough to get through.
Awesome! perfect for the photo challenge, looks fun 🙂
It was great fun Andy! You should look around for a challenge course near you. Bet you can find one. Thanks for the visit and hope to see you back soon. Bella
I’ll definitely have to look around! following you also 🙂
Thank you so much Andy..heading over to your ‘house’ now.
Welcome! ^_^
I wish they would have had those when I was young and spry! We had to make do with playing in the hayloft of the barn.
Now playing in the hayloft sounds like great fun. I didn’t get to do that. These courses really are a lot of fun and super challenging.
Wow that looks fun!! You’re so brave!!
It has taken me time and practice Tricia. The first one I did, I was totally chicken and barely made it on the first level. 🙂
the spirit of adventure
has settled in your soul
in a way – you are jumping INTO Heaven
not off
LOL ! Thank you so much Will. Here’s hoping.
Not a chance, no way for me!
Awww..come on…what are you waiting for? It’s a blast!
The things you do for fun. OMG, my legs feel like Jell-O by looking at the drop.
You do make me laugh! 🙂 I must admit I was a bit chicken at that spot. I ended up cheating and using my harness to get across instead of jumping.
🙂 Great shots!!! Interesting task!!!
If you only knew Rexlin. This course is the most challenging I’ve been on. It is great fun and hard work.
That is SO COOL!! You have so much fun…. 🙂
It’s been a while..life’s been a bit dull lately. Oh well…next year!
YOUR dull is NOT the average dull!!!
Oh, man. That looks like wicked fun!
Sweet ! A kindred spirit ! We should do this together. It really is wicked fun.
I’ve never seen anything quite like that. It looks absolutely amazing, and challenging…for someone ELSE! 🙂
You are too funny Maya. This is indeed all that you say..amazing and challenging. These courses are quite popular now and are popping up all over the US and Europe. Bet you can find one close to you to try. 🙂
LOL – sad to say there are NO trees where I live so I don’t have to be tempted for the time being.
Now that I wouldn’t do, but looks like you had a great time!!!
I can see that Corinne. You’re probably wise staying closer to the ground. Somehow I don’t seem to get that lesson. After all, I ride horses nearly every day. Talk about taking your life in your hands. At least with the challenge course, you have safety lines.
Oooh! Good for you Emily! I would be too chicken 🙂
It’s taken a lot of courage and practice Madhu. Once you overcome the fear and uncertainty of the harness and trust it, it becomes a lot of fun.
Now that looks like awesome fun!!! 😀
It totally rocks Ian. You would have so much fun doing this.
Yeah, it might be great fun if you’re a ‘rangitan… hahaha
Great pic of you “all geared up!” Major adrenaline rush, right? Although I am betting you’ve seen and done much “worse.” haha You make photography look fun!
Took me a moment to get what you are saying. Indeed a monkey would have great fun. Actually, you’d be surprised. You go slowly and really think through each challenge. It’s thrilling once you’re done to know what you have accomplished though. This was the hardest challenge course I have done so far.
Oh my, better you than me! I tried to climb “Beehive Mtn” in Acadia Park once and once I got to a part with only an iron grate over a small passage way and the steep drop down below, I got down on my knees and literally crawled my way back off that thing and decided that was enough excitement for one day. I stayed on the ground and watched my husband have the time of his life! Good for you and looked like you were into for a great experience.
I would love to do the Beehive climb. That is no hike my dear, and I don’t blame you for coming back down the mountain. It’s not for the fainthearted. 🙂
Amazing energy, love it… 🙂
That kind of challenges are wonderful… 🙂 😉
wow.
