EXPENSE REPORT

Students had the

opportunity to zip

line through the

tree tops in the

Smokey Mountains.

The zip line course

existed of over

4,000 feet of cable.

With different safe-

ty checkpoints

throughout the

course, the last trek

was down the hill

and over the park-

ing lot. Guides

working for the zip

line company said

they have reached

nearly 65 mph zip

lining down the hill.

The students relied

on their own gloved

hands for speed or

to slow down and

whether fast or

slow, they all made

it to the finish line!.
