World Record Ride

So my cave tour group is standing outside looking at our new monster swing called The Swing Shot. It’s going to open by Memorial Day weekend. Suddenly the thing takes off, sending the seats that you would ride in out over the cliff 1300 ft. above the Colorado River and returning after a 240 degree pendulum. Wow. It took our breath away just watching it. Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park www.glenwoodcaverns.com is going for the Guinness Book of World Records for the highest swing. I absolutely guarantee that it is going to give its riders one of the biggest thrills of their lives.

A Dangerous Undertaking Continued

“Besides that, no one has ever come out of one of my cave tours saying, “Jerry, a rock fell on my head.”

A Dangerous Undertaking

I’m standing outside the cave with 24 tourists ready to go inside. A few of them are concerned about a “cave-in” occurring. I say to the group, “You folks paid something in the neighborhood of $10 to go on this tour. We will be about 120 feet underground . In the event of a cave-in, you can take heart that nowhere else in the world can you be buried so cheap and deep.”

A Big Help

Paul, a seasoned Cave Tour Guide flicks all the lights out. It’s darker than a black cat’s belly button. After a few comments by the tourists, Paul says, “Let me help you get your bearings. That way is north, that way is south. That’s east, and that’s west.”
