The world's most frightening high ropes course


I have found the world's most frightening high ropes course. It's located at the Zephyr Baptist Encampment in Sandia, TX. I was there for a leadership retreat with students from Texas A&M Corpus Christi last weekend.

What? You thought I was there for a Baptist Choir convention? Not so much.

It's not that the course is the highest I've ever seen. It's not that it's dangerous or rickety. It's not that it dangles precipitously over cliffs or ocean rocks.

There were dozens of enormous VULTURES sitting on it. Talk about intimidating! This was just too priceless not to capture on film. How much fun would it be to be nervously inching across a narrow beam four stories up and have a vulture staring at you?

Thanks to the students from TAMU-CC and to their advisor Kimberly Duncan for a great day!
