Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Heights scare me too.It had nothing to do with weight.Many years ago a few friends and I went up to North Star Sky Resort in Lake Tahoe.They were skiing.My friend and I were'nt.They wanted to go to the lodge at the top of the mountain.It sounded good. Until I found out we had to take the ski lift!!! I was thinking that doesnt look to bad (height) wise! Until we started up the mountain! We were up above the roofs of the Condos near by. I was not happy and we went higher yet! Once at the top.I was so happy it was over (the ride)!! But I knew I had to go back down sooner or later!!! The view was very pretty.Tons of snow piled up way beneigh our danggleing feet..I had nightmares for weeks after the trip.Of falling off the lift and sinking into that snow!!! The ride down was uneventful.But I remember something happened at the top of the lift forcing it to stop mid way down the mountain.We stood bouncing in the air for what seemed like an eternity..We laughed about that trip for years..I am not a thrill seeker.So Parasailing is for the much more daring soul not for me!!! roseofsharon_ps121 wrote: > Okay, I went to parasailing.com and they are pretty informative > including lists of places you can parasail by state. Too bad for you, > Mel, the AL one seems to be in Chinese! lol > > Marta ********************************* Hey Marta, We have seen parasailers up here! They get them up in the air with the boats on the lake, then the parasailer releases, and floats all around the lake on the wind currents (we have plenty of wind). It may be something some of the rafting companies up here may be getting into. I will have to check on it. I have never gone whitewater rafting, but Mike and the boys have. They loved it. But I have always been, to fat, to scared or to something...lol I prefer to get a big innertube and tube down the river at riverside park. I know, more dangerous than rafting, but eh, what can I say? thrill seeker Sharon in Onyx --------------------------------- New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
