Great shots I imagine you had limited light to work with. These really bring back memories from my childhood, both good and bad. Its not fun when the rope raps around your leg.

:shock: Where'd the kids go? Shot five looks ominous in light of the previous shots.

Nice shots.

What'd you go and grow up for?

I was Captain Danger when I was growing up. Now, at 42, I climb to a certain height in a tree and I say to myself "Well, stupid, you fall from this height and you're gonna leave your wife a widow." I can't imagine swinging out on a rope at my age. *sigh* Damn youths having all that fun. :D

My son and I were hicking on this little trail, VERY steep and found a rope hangin from a tree that swung out over the side of the mountain. After you took off you were a good 40+ feet over the slope of the mountain. I did it once but my 10 year old wouldnt do it THANK GOD....LOL

Every now and then I like to "double dog dare" him to see if he will try stupid things. that way I can worry about him when he is out exploring the wilds with his buddis or NOT worry about him...so far I have to say he has beter sense then his old man....LOL

Ah, not sure where the comment is. Was it supposed to be groaning up years or growing up years? Either could work....:lol:

What struck me was that a couple of kids were having fun with no protective gear visible. Could that be possible?

Nice series.
