Super pumped today. My Wildcats got a big win today. Of course, it happened when I didn't watch the game: the first time all year where I didn't watch (or delay watch) it. But that's OK...maybe I should stop watching. We were in the bubble, then our bubble popped, and now we're firmly back in the bubble! Come on UK! OK, moving on...

Our last day in Maui we finally went zip lining. The weather had been questionable, as mentioned in previous posts. We were on the west side of Maui and basically just zipped from one ridge to the next along the mountain. In all, we zipped 2.5 miles along the ridges. One line was 3/4 of a mile long and was awesome. That line was a long ride, and very thrilling since we reached approximate speeds of 60 mph.
The views were great. From the eastern ridges of west maui were could look over Maui's middle plains of sugar cane crops and see Haleakala in the distance. I had my iPhone in tow and even took a video, which is at the bottom.
I'm up next at the training line.
Some of the ridges we were zip lining over.
Sugar cane is the all the green in this photo. Haleakala in the far distance.

Our next zip line to travel (far right)
This is a picture I took later in the day. We were zip lining on the mountain in this picture from ridge to ridge.
In the video below, it shows Dadster coming into one of the landing decks. He is only a spec in the video until he comes into the braking blocks. Oh and one more tip: turn your sound off/down before you push play. The wind makes the video really loud and there's really not much to hear anyway.
