Day 257 - Fort Tuthill Park

 We woke up to a really beautiful park full of pine trees - Just like Tahoe. A great place to spend Mother's day. We made mom coffee, dad made breakfast - baked French toast. Sometimes the tiny RV oven comes through. 

We discovered that there was an adventure ropes and zip line course run by the county park a few minutes walk away, so we decided that would be a good Mother's day activity.

Everyone (except Paul, who photographed) was trained on how to get the belay carabiners to work (carefully designed to make sure you always had one hooked on) and went up in the trees to cross bridges, ride zip lines, crawl through suspended barrels (Tyler's favorite), walk through nets, and so on.  There were four courses of increasing length, difficulty, and height off the ground. Green, Silver, Blue, Red and Black.

 

Stephanie, Tyler, and Maggie sailed through Green and managed Silver. Stephanie almost made it through Blue before she got tired, and Maggie finished Blue. It was a fun three hours! Everyone agreed it was the one of the best rope/adventure course they had completed.  Paul used the Wi-Fi at the office to get a bunch of work done after he had taken about 300 pictures of everyone else doing the course.

We also set up the hammocks since there were lots of nice trees by the RV, and they were enjoyed by all. 

We had a nice Mother's day dinner, debated on staying another day, decided to see Slide Rock State Park and Sonora the next day and then head for the Grand Canyon.
