Something Rich and Strange

 Hey, here’s a concept. Go to a forest and build a bunch of platforms in the trees, say 20, 30 or 40 feet high. Then connect them with a series of “bridges” (for instance, six vertically suspended logs with a peg for your foot) and zip lines. Make sure that some of the courses test agility, strength and sanity (as in, how the hell am I going to get to the next station when the strength in my arms has been reduced to that of two rubber bands?). Then charge people to use them. You’d have the Sandy Spring Adventure Park in Maryland where children and adults alike harness-up and start climbing, crossing and zipping. Like me yesterday. Yes, it was insane, but insanely fun. And I’d do it again at the drop of a leaf.
