Moaning Caverns zip line
Anyone here done the zip line at Moaning Caverns? I've done the rappel and drop into the cave itself and the spelunking through it (awesome!) but I've never done the zip line.
On the zip line, can you hold a video cam to video the experience?

Moaning Caverns was crazy fun. A couple buddies and me took the tour.
You put on a rock climbing harness and get instruction how to use the "ladder" bar thing that let's the rock slowly, controllably slip. Then you descend into the hole that's in the back of the museum and squeeze through it's narrow mouth. This opens up to the > 150' underground cavern and you are coming through the hole in the ceiling... right there where the stalactites are. Enjoy the dizzying descent to the cave floor and unhook.
Then the spelunking begins. You're already in a jump suit (cuz you're crawling in the muddy rocks). See your kitchen table with all the chairs? Look under it and crawl through the legs of one chair, around the table center and through the legs of a chair on the other side. That's what spelunking is like, but muddier and with cave rocks.
Youtube "moaning cavern" for some vids.
Crazy fun.
Oh... and there's plenty of dirt roads up there for subieness.......
