I quaked as I agilely swung from one obstacle to the next. My legs‚ mind‚ and hands were all fatigued and wrenched‚ yet the incentive of achieving my goal of finishing the entire obstacle course was enough for me to endure the drudgery a little longer. When I began the Gunstock Treetop Aerial Adventure Park course‚ I was drowning
