Another day in the Poconos and we wanted to go for zip-lining. We decided to go to CBK Mountain Adventures in Tannersville, as it was quite close to Stroudsberg where we stayed for the night. It must be a half an hour drive from there.
We left around 11:30 from the hotel, had breakfast on the way and arrived at our destination by 12:30. Went straight inside to check the list for that day's adventures, as there was prediction of a storm by the weather forecast. So we wanted to know beforehand about the activities scheduled for that day. And as expected they did have a smaller schedule.
Still, the zipline and mountain coaster were available; so it wasn't that bad. We booked the activities and went back to the car to keep our phones and wallets. Came back, got the harness and walked uphill to reach the platform. It was built on a steep slope as is the case always. And within minutes we were all buckled up and were asked to move to the edge of the platform.
Both of us took a few minutes before pushing off the edge. And then we were flying, with the pull of gravity and steep incline; it was a fantastic ride. And I didn't forget to smile on the way, for the photographer who was clicking our pictures. Ride got over in no time and we were back on our feet sooner than we expected. Took off the harness and went around to see our pictures, which came out pretty well. Bought the pictures and left from there.
Next on the list was the Delaware Water Gap, which was on our way back home. We left and were there within 45 minutes. It was a beautiful sight with mountains on the other side and the river in between. Spent some time amidst the breathtaking beauty of the nature but had to leave early as it started raining.
From there, we went to the turtle beach which was about half an hour from there. And the drive was through the scenic forests, with the single lane road - it felt like the trees were almost covering the entire way, it was amazing. The beach was another beautiful place and we were there for a short while. On the way, we even saw signboard pointing to the route of 'Appalachian Trail' which passes through the Delaware water gap region.

Then it was time to move on, we started our journey back home. Got back around 7 in the evening and it was pouring. What a perfect end to a perfect vacation.
We had a fabulous time.
