Sharp's Travels

Today we were flying in the trees. We left Sharleen’s at 9:45am and headed for Lincoln, N.H. It was a little over 1 hour away. We plan on taking the Zip Line through the forest on Baron Mountain.

We traveled along the Kancamagus Highway. It was a pretty drive.

We got to Lincoln about 11:30am, found the Zip Line Canopy Tour office and we didn’t have to check in until 12:30 so that gave us time to pick up a Subway Sandwich for lunch and then check out a few of the small shops by the Zip Line Office.

At 12:30 we checked in and they gave us our gear and loaded us in a van to take the short 10 minute trip up to their base camp at Baron Mountain.

Once we arrived, we unloaded from the van and got into the safari bus for the final climb to our first Zip Line.

There were 12 people in our group. We had 6 different Zip Lines to ride and a suspended bridge (10” wide and 50ft long) to cross. Sharleen and I were kind of slow about crossing, but we were at the end of the pack so we didn’t hold anyone up. It was scary to step out into space when you were so high off the ground. Once you started your decent you forgot about where you were and enjoyed the ride!

It was a breathtaking, awesome experience. We have already decided on our next trip to Maine we are ready to tackle the Zip Line that flies high above the trees, 210ft above the ground.

We stopped at a scenic overlook and a swimming hole, in the river along the highway. There were lots and lots of people there trying to ease the heat of the day.

We arrived home at 4:30pm. It gave us just enough time to freshen up and change clothes before heading to the Masonic Hall here in Fryeburg for the Baked Bean Supper. Bake bean suppers are a tradition here in Maine. It was really good. I haven’t had baked beans like this for years.

What a beautiful day!
