Riding the zipline at the Ventura Ranch KOA campground

We discovered while we were staying at the Ventura Ranch KOA that they have a zipline!  Neither of us had ridden one before and both of us wanted to, so here was our chance!  We signed up to ride and were in a group consisting of mostly kids – some were young enough that they had to ride tandem (there has to be 80 pounds on the line or it won’t go the whole distance and then the kid would be left dangling in the air!)

Here’s a photo of Jeff in the gear and ready to go:

and here are a couple of Youtube videos that Jeff took, one while he was riding the zipline and one of me riding.  What fun!!
