Come Here if Zip Lining is on Your Bucket List!!! This was my Wife & I's first activity together since before she was pregnant with my 2 girls! Once I booked the reservation, I immediately told her what she was in for..The Wife got so excited!!! We had a 10 0'clock reservation. We left San Jose early just incase there was traffic, construction or other type of delays. The map here on Yelp for once was accurate. As we parked, we both noticed how clean the grounds were and we took in a huge breath and exhale nasty San Jose air!! COUGH COUGH HACK HACK!! Once in the Adventure Center, we were both greeted by both receptionists and helped up fill out the paperwork. We used my best friend as our emergency contact. I even too a pic of it and sent it to him, he laughed! Then we both had to weigh in. 250lbs or No Adventure For You!!! Your weight. Honestly I watched what I ate & drank for the week prior due to the strict weight policy they have! All said and done we waited outside to be greeted by Cameron and Lucas who were our guides. Since I booked our Adventure early, there was only 3 of us on the Adventure. The 3rd person was visiting from Ontario Canada, nice guy! I took several action shots of him, even thou he rented a GoPro. Once our guides got us strapped in the harness, which will show off you Gut and Junk, or Biff and Man-Toe!! Anyways, don't be ashamed!!! Oh yeah... We all headed across the road where the Adventure begins!!! The guides demonstrated how and what, the do's and dont's while on the line. 6-Lines and Bridge, just not enough!! While Zipping, I was so relaxed! The fresh air, nature, the silence! When we left, I mentioned to the Wife, I felt like I just left a spa! I was that relaxed! This adventure is great for small groups. A group larger than 9 people, will be spilt into 2 groups. It's about how many people can safely stand a platform. If your a large mammal, or you have several medical conditions, don't waste your time. Find another adventure. I will return, with friends for another adventure. read more

They even told us funny stories of what they've seen during these tour guides. Will I be back? Yes. Next time I will try the Sequoia Adventure Course. JABA APPROVED!!! Until the next review..... read more

One of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. It was so much fun! Our tour guides were Dylan and Robbie. They were playful, hilarious and very engaging with all of us in the group. If you guys ever decide to come I would recommend them as guides! My group of friends and I decided on participating in the Redwood Canopy Tours that consisted of 6 zip lies and one bridge for $89 that lasted a little over 2 hours. It's worth it! You get to explore the red woods while zip lining through the forest. What more can you ask for! I'ts extremely fun and I would recommend it to everyone! read more

If you've been zip-lining internationally, this might be a little less 'extreme' but still a good time! I've been zip-lining once before [in Puerto Vallarta] and it really does make a difference when you have great tour guides who make the experience that much more fun. Our guides were Sara and Mitchell, both sweet and hilarious. We came on Friday the 13th but you wouldn't know it by the way we had such a smooth trip. The views of the redwoods are gorgeous from above, my sisters and I were both enthralled with the beauty of what's in our own backyard. Sara and Mitchell also gave us great history factoids about the trees and I definitely appreciate the forests that much more. So thank you to Mt Hermon for making my sister's 30th birthday a blast! Tips: - Bring a camera that has a lanyard to secure on your gear. Remember the crew is not responsible for your stupidity if you happen to drop your camera. - Dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather. It rained when we went but you will only get wet when you're actually on the zipline. - Use the restroom before you head out for the 2 hour trip. read more

Had such a blast with my husband. I always wanted to try something like this. I've done zip-lining before and was more interested in the different bridge elements between tress. The place is in a middle of redwoods, tall huge tress. We took the sequoia tour, it's 2 hours and has so many different bridges you can climb, from easy to difficult. Some were scary and challenging, which I love. But if that's too much for you, then they have the less scary ones. if you are afraid of heights, this may not be the right place for you. But the tour guides are always with your group and encourage you to keep going and give you hints how to cross and move forward. I want to go back! read more

Redwoods! Redwoods everywhere! I'm a sucker for the outdoors and this place did the trick to let my inner Tarzan out. "Remember that time in band camp?" Just kidding, I felt like a 5th grader going to a weekend camp trip minus the school bus, children screaming, and mom trying to pack all my outdoor gear together. Anyways, the process is very simple: you walk-into the cabin, approach the desk, tell them your reservation name, fill out your liability paper, get weighed and out to the large tent you go! The next step is to meet your tour guides. They will be teaching and helping you put and fastened your harness. I was very glad that they had a small set-up where they teach you how to zipline, what to do when you're stuck, and how to slow down. This process takes about 15 minutes and they make everyone do it to make sure each person gets a good grasp of things. You then walk with your group onto the bridge and then there you are on your first tree. From that point two guys would zip to the other tree first and another guy is responsible for clipping you on. I thought it was pretty cool when they randomly throw out Redwood facts. Love it! So here I am, clipped in, sitting, legs crossed and weeeeee! It does take a while for you to get swinging since you have to wait for everyone to zip by, thats why the course is approx. 2 hours. But hey, patience is a virtue. The last zipline has a camera where you're able to pose and do whatever you want lol. At the end they loosen your harness and they walk you back to the cabin. At that point you're able to use their kiosk and pick out the pictures you'd like to purchase. First picture is $10 and every picture you pick after that is $5. I didn't like the fact that they just email you the pictures, I really wish they printed it out for you. I'd recommend this place to everyone both young and old. This place is a great place for people to get over acrophobia. Thanks for the great experience guys! read more

Mount Hermon Adventures - Challenge Courses Near Me - Mount Hermon, California

This is one of the rare zip-lining places near South Bay that consists of 6 zip-lines with different length and difficulty. The tour is in a redwood forest. The tour costs $99/ person on the website. There are also Groupon deals available. For someone who has never been on a zip-line tour, this is a good introductory course for beginner. For those who are afraid of height, trust me the tour guys will change your mind! Location (5/5): If you follow GPS instructions, the Yelp location is correct. There are a lot of parking spaces. I came at 8:30am reservation, so the weather was chilly. The location looks beautiful! Remember to take some times to observe the nature, it will take your breath away! Services (5/5): We checked in at the Adventure Center near the parking spaces. If you come too early, you can purchase snacks near the front desk. After registering, we get introduced to our two tour guys (Robert and Zack). They are pretty funny, friendly and knowledgeable about the forest and zip-lining. Don't forget to bring cash to tip them. Throughout the tour, you will get your photos taken. You have the choice to to purchase those photos or not. It is $10 for first photo and $5 for additional photos. They will send the photos straight to your email address. Tip: Be careful if you bring your phone to zip-line, make sure that you wear a zipped jacket to prevent your phone to catch a free fly! There is no safety net to catch your belongings for you. read more

My boyfriend and I did the redwood adventure and it was so fun. It was a great challenge and it's funny seeing your partner experience the course with you. I've done a couple different rope courses before but I loved this one because you got to do a lot of obstacles and they were all pretty different. beautiful location 10/10 would recommend read more

Mount Hermon Adventures - My and my boyfriend after our adventure - Challenge Courses Near Me - Mount Hermon, California

We just recently went here on a rainy day. I wasn't sure how the rain would affect our experience but it was awesome! Our tour guides were very knowledgeable of the area and entertained us with funny stories and good conversation throughout the tour. We were first given a crash course in ziplining that included an overview of equipment and how to brake. During the tour there was one zipline where your just walked of the platform. There was another that was 440 ft. which I thought was cool because I couldn't even sew the end of it beyond the trees. The guides took pictures of us on the bridge which was also cool. There are a couple cameras set up throughpit the course. For the one at the end you pose while ziplining and have the option to purchase the picture. We also got the go-pro for an additional $35 which was so worth it! Now I have a way to relive the experience of flying through trees and walking across the skybridge. The tour was beautiful. It was nice to get away from the city and be in this beautiful setting. read more

With my cousin visiting from the Netherlands, I wanted to take her to do something out of the ordinary and adventurous...and what could be more unique than ziplining through the beautiful redwoods of Mount Hermon?! The tour is approximately two hours but it really feels so much faster because of all of the adrenaline pumping fun of flying through trees. Our guides, Abby and Jasmine couldn't have been more informative and friendly while helping us zip around the tree line while also dropping some Redwood fun facts. And the scenery!! Seriously so beautiful. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or just looking for something new to do in the area, I really can't recommend this enough! read more

Our party of seven all had a Travelzoo coupon so we were happy to check this place out. Located in Mt. Hermon (or Felton), the grounds it's located on are quiet and serene. We got there way early so we hiked around the grounds a bit. There are ropes courses, wall climbing, and other team building activities available there if you're interested in those things as well (although not through Redwood Canopy Tour). The tour itself was fun and lasted about two hours. We had Cameron and some other guy (I forgot his name) but they were very hospitable and fun. Since most of us had zip-lined before, they tried to keep it informative and fun. We had a couple people in our group that were afraid of heights so they did everything they can to make the experience pleasurable for them, which was greatly appreciated. Most of us had zip-lined elsewhere (Costa Rica, Hawaii, Jamaica, or Mexico) but zip-lining close to your own town gives you a deeper appreciation of local nature when you're flying through the Redwood trees we see almost every day. Overall, it was an awesome time and we highly recommend it. read more

Went here for a friend birthday! My expectations were not low, they were just non existent as I have never been zip lining. When we arrived we parked in front of check in, we were there a little early so we walked around a bit. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. Looks very much like a retreat center. About 15 minutes before our appointment time we checked in. We then filled out paperwork and waited for our instructors. We got Caitlin and Nikko. After getting geared up they then took us on a small practice course where we learned about all our equipment and safety procedures. This was for our own piece of mind but really I was ready to get out there! We then began! The course was 6 zips. All varying in length, speed, and view. They were all so beautiful to ride on. It room is about 1.5 hours to complete. During the zipping they also gave us info on the redwood trees and shared interesting facts. Our instructors were great and kept the conversation going. The experience was great and definitely worth the price. Thanks! read more

I wanted to go ziplining in California (I went in Vancouver a few years ago) and found Redwood Canopy Tours on Yelp. Our guides, Linda and Shane, were awesome! They were patient with the newbies and were compassionate for those who were scared (newbies). I really enjoyed their facts about the trees were were on and I fell in love with the big tree that was only 90 years old and nearly 150 feet tall. Our group had 6 lines in 2 hours, and I liked how they had cameras at certain spots so you could pose and get the pictures afterwards. They even suggested a pose where you lean off the platform backwards to take a picture. I definitely recommend Redwood Canopy Tours for anyone who loves the redwood forest and great guides. This time of the year they offer zipline at night - from November 28th to January 4th they have a tour in the forest with sparkling Christmas lights! read more

There are a lot of things that make this particular zipline adventure/tour great. There are a total of 6 ziplines of varying distances and heights. If you are look to zipline just to zipline, then I would not recommend this place. This place offers a unique experience that ziplining just supplements. 1. Staff - very friendly, humorous and energetic. 2. Awesome views and forest. The trees are beautiful - mostly coastal redwoods. But the entire site (Christian resort) is nested in the woods and it sort of reminds me of the something out of a Harry Potter movie. Just beautiful and magnificent place for those of you who just like to take in all the smells, sights, and sounds of the outdoors. 3. First ziplining place I've been to that has an introductory class on ziplining, which I thought was neat. It was like the bunny slopes for snowboarders/skiers. The staff teaches zipliners to use the manual brake system/method which was new to me too. Other advice: Dress appropriately. Our tour was 0830hrs, and it was still a bit cool. It warmed up real quick 1/3 of the way through the tour though. I would advise you to bring a phone camera during the tour; just put it in your pocket and take it out when you want to snap shots (they recommend that you don't take it, so you don't risk dropping it below, but I think you'll be ok). read more

Ziplining was something I've wanted to do even though I'm scared of heights. I may have hugged a tree or two when I was at the platforms, but I felt safe. There are 6 zip lines and 2 sky bridges. Before getting started, we practiced so that we knew what we were doing. There are two guides. If you are scared, you can tandem with one of them. I volunteered to be one of the first zippers, because I didn't want my nerves to get the best of me. That initial zip was scary, but it wasn't that bad at all. At each platform, one of the guides will spout redwood knowledge. The educational component will be great if you have kids with you. I really enjoyed myself overall. My friends did make fun of me because they said I was yelling at the guide when I told him to not to let go until I was ready. Sorry- I didn't mean to yell! The two hours were over before we knew it. read more

My sister & I had an absolute blast here! If you're able, make a reservation and do Both the zipline canopy tour, and then the sequoia adventure ropes course. The views are indescribable from that high up! And the guide points out things like the tallest tree, the oldest, etc and other interesting facts, along with cheesy but funny jokes! Scott & Tanner were hilarious and friendly, helping us all easily get the hang of things even though almost everyone in our group had never ziplined before. There's a starting area where they give everyone a "mini class" and an opportunity to practice before the real thing. The guides are there every step of the way and the harnesses have an additional magnetic locking safety protection in the clip mechanism, so you can rest assured you are definitely very safe at every moment. It was SO much fun!! read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! Myself and a group of 9 girls started off my Bachelorette weekend zip lining here and it was perfect. The redwoods are beautiful and massive and our guides were amazing. Michael and Mitchell were a great team and had us all cracking up the whole time. They made us feel safe and secure, even the ones who were terrified at first were comfortable after the first couple lines! :) It was a perfect start to an epic Bachelorette weekend and I already want to go back and fly through the redwoods! read more

Can you say deal of the summer? Not only is this a great way to spend two hours beneath the canopy of Redwoods, you get a little history lesson to boot. The staff are quality and their attention to safety is paramount. From the great history lessons of the region to the many platforms that zip your through the forest, your adrenaline will certainly be flowing. This would be a great experience for people from middle school to Medicare. read more

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, with the hopes that he would be equal parts thrilled and scared. I can't say he was either. The zip lining itself is pleasant, but after the first or second zip, I came to realize that it was not going to be the "thrill of a lifetime." I'm extremely afraid of heights and I could tolerate this just fine. My boyfriend and I agreed that, while it was fun, we would have loved the lines to be longer and faster. This is a great place for beginner thrill-seekers. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about ziplining and the redwood forest. I'm definitely glad I tried it out, but wouldn't *highly* recommend it. I see I'm the voice of dissent here, seeing as to how other Yelpers seemed to love it. If you can get a special deal or discount, I suppose it would be worth it, but at full price... eh. read more

So fun!!! Booked this a little over a week ago for my dad, sister, sister's bf and my bf to do the ziplining for 2 hrs!!! Got there earlier in case of traffic because of July 4th but the road was easy and free of traffic. Google Maps led us directly to the building! Checked in and roamed around a little. Then went outside where the gear was lined up to meet our tour guides- Eli and Tabitha!!! So funny and so nice, they definitely made us feel super comfortable and it was very easy trusting them. They got us loaded up and we headed over to a small practice area where they taught us how to brake and zip line correctly. We did two sky bridges and 6 zip lines. Time passes by so quick! I'm actually scared of heights but I love adrenaline rushes so I was nervous in the beginning but quickly got used to it. Plus Eli and Tabitha made it easy to get comfortable with jokes, sarcasm and great tree knowledge and fun facts. Zip lining and watching the nature zoom by you was great even at huge heights. They even had places to take your picture to buy at the end if you wanted. When we reached the last one, I couldn't believe it was already 2 hours! So helpful and so fun!!! Definitely recommend. They even have lots of free stickers at the end if you want! Weather was a little chilly in the beginning especially in the shade but sunny once we finished so check the weather before you go! And DEFINITELY bring something with zipped pockets. I forgot and I had to trust my phone by squishing it basically in my hood pocket but under the harness to secure it when I would zip line but it would have been easier with a zipper pocket. Btw, their camp theme this year is Settlers of Harmon (like settlers of catan)!! Highly recommend! Even the obstacle course one (sequoia adventures) looked challenging and fun!

Awesome time! The only reason it's not a 5 star is because I've been zip lining in Costa Rica and that was a 5!!! But this was pretty sweet as well. Our guides, were fantastic, lots of energy and fun to be on tour with. The course was fun. Some great runs. It started raining while in the trees, but that added to the excitement. Glad we did it!

The tallest was about 107 feet...and the lowest platform was about 35 feet! There was one long bridge you had to cross mid way...and it was very thrilling!....you got to go pretty fast on a couple lines....and esp if you tucked you feet and leaned back a little! :D GREAT TIME!!! read more

Price: 5 - got the groupon deal (but still worth it without it) Location: 5 - beautiful community and very serene spot Parking: 5 - parking lot Service: 5 - friendly and helpful Speed: 5 - just right! Overall: Highly recommended! Safe, secure, and super fun! Friendly and funny tour guides. Awesome crew! I would love to go back for more! My Opinion/Story: Got the groupon deal and told everyone I know. Posted it in Facebook too! Some grabbed the deal while others chickened out! For a while there, I was slowly thinking of giving away my groupon until I went to a local restaurant to watch a YouTube sensation and met a nice, young man (Mark) who happen to work in Mt. Hermon. He assured my husband and I that the lines are safe and we're secured at all times. With that said (and our courage uplifted), we booked our tour a few weeks after I checked out the weather every week for the perfect day. We went on their earliest tour of 9:30a on a beautiful, warm Sunday in November. We met up with our guides (Alex and James) and they explained in details about the tour. They safely and comfortably secured us to our harness while assuring us that they are perfectly capable of rescuing us should there be a need for it. Alex explained the history and facts about the Redwood trees. They also made us do cannon ball, one handed rides and allowed us to play a trick to one of my cousins (Alex pushed her back when she thought she was going to reach the end of the line so she was suspended in the middle of the line until she pulled herself back to the end). Super fun! There were a total of 6 lines we had to cross and two suspended bridges. There are short lines, long lines, and lines that make you go fast and slow. Overall, it was fun being up that high and zipping through. You can feel the trees swaying as you are standing by the platform but there was never a time I didn't feel secure. Even my husband with his fear of heights was able to do it and have fun! We're just sad that it was over.. maybe they'll have something with over 10 lines or more someday! *hint*hint* read more

This adventure park would have received 5 stars from me, but for our guide, white woman, 5' 4", with shaved light brown hair (don't know name). She was kinda surly and sarcastic with us, particularly with our kids, as if she was in a bad mood that day. For sure she made our kids dislike her, so hopefully they'll train her to be kinder to children. However, our other guide was fantastic and encouraging, and made up for it. This place has a fun and safe ropes course, as well as ziplining, and you feel like you're playing in the trees like squirrels and birds. There's a long training session beforehand, but then the thrills come right after. The facility and grounds overall are new-ish, clean and well-kept with picnic tables and a big field to frolick in. Very fun family outing to get your kids off their devices! read more

My sister in laws and I decided to do the zip lining and we had a blast... The three guides were very professional and very fun. It's was great to be so high amongst the beautiful redwood trees.

My husband and I loved zip lining with Redwood Canopy Tours. I only did it ones 13 years ago so needless to say I was rusty and it was my husband's first time. Our guides explained everything very well and let all of us do a test run before we headed out to the redwoods. The experience was exhilarating and unforgettable! We had young and old in the group and everyone did great. I highly recommend instructor Kyle Schroeder - he is a character - funny, smart and with a lot of knowledge about the redwoods which he was happy to share with us. read more

I took my two older children (10 and 12) here yesterday for a fun outing to get their minds off covid and school. I was nervous because it happened to be raining the morning of our visit, but the staff provided us with rain jackets. The staff were so helpful and knowledgeable and made me and my two children feel very comfortable with using all of the equipment and being on the course. The check in process was seamless, they check your ID and have you get on a scale to verify your weight. Then you head over and get your gear on and walk across the street to the course. The course itself was broken up into three sections and consisted mostly of swinging rope and wire obstacles. There are only two zip lines, but that was not the downside at all. All of the rope and would obstacles were a ton of fun and very challenging. (I am actually shocked that we are not sore today!) In the end, we were a bit wet but had completely forgotten about the light sprinkling during our 2 hour visit because we were having so much fun! It was a great opportunity for my kids to be supportive and encouraging of one another as they made their way through the course. It was a blast and we can't wait to visit again! What a secret gem!! read more

Great experience! The setting is beautiful. I've been zip lining at a similar place in Sonoma area, and in my opinion this one is prettier. Our guides clearly enjoyed their jobs, making silly tree puns and jokes, answered questions anyone had regarding the forest or zip lining. The zip lines themselves were fun, and nobody got stuck halfway across or anything. I only wish there were more zip lines. I'd definitely come back another time. read more

Booked a last minute tour at $150/person and me and my 25 year old daughter were so excited to have a fun time! The checking in was easy breezy, Tim at the front counter was helpful and nice.. so far so good. We were in a group of 8 with a few pre teens and a couple of teenagers.. no problem. Quick intro video about rules (no pregnant women, no gum chewing, no intoxicated people allowed) and we were off to the "practice area" aka ground school. Neither one of us has ever done a cabled aerial tour 60 feet in the air nor have we ever had to use the clips that are there to hold you and save your life if you fall.. so getting used to clipping them onto a cable takes some practice but you're only allowed a few tries before you start the death defying tightrope walk that is rated as easy. When I attempted to practice clipping in I was reprimanded by the 20 something tour guide Brooklyn and I should have gotten my money back at that point. Tanner, another guide, was sweet and understanding about being a first timer but the other 2 guides (Brooklyn and Marin) were obviously annoyed at our hesitation and lack of clip knowledge. Fast forward to a particularly frightening (for me) section of the tour and some profanity slipped out of my 47 year old adult mouth... not in ear shot of any kids btw.. just me and my daughter and Marin. I was reprimanded again and at this point I was done with this tour but I was 60 feet in the air between 2 huge redwood trees and no way to get down other than finish the course. Brooklyn and Marin kept commenting that we were not going to have time to zip line because we weren't moving fast enough and they were very condescending the entire 2 hours that I was playing Tarzan and Jane with a helmet and harness on. At the end.. the zip line part... Marin didn't stop the young teenager kid in time and he slammed into a tree and then zipped back into the middle of the line.. this kid had mentioned how scared he was to me during the course and he looked like he was done too. All the while blaming us for taking too long to clip the metal apparatus' onto and off of the lifesaving cable network. The 2 zip lines were fun but overall not worth the money nor the attitude from the guides.. a longer demo/practice time would have made all the difference. I realized after my profanity debacle that this is a faith-based organization disguised as a come-as-you-are adventure company.. had I'd known that in the beginning, I would have spent my money elsewhere. The rules, along with no gum chewing, should include no profanity or fear of any kind. Shoutout to Tanner for being down to earth and super cool! read more

Where to start? The facility is rumored to be unpermitted so draw your own conclusions about its safety. The guides are young and not very knowledgeable (supposedly, they are to give a redwood forest ecology lesson during the tours, but they barely know anything about redwood ecology...if they say anything at all related to conservation topics..). I shutter at the thought of what they would do in the event of an emergency. They encourage yelling and screaming (which is tempting, but completely inappropriate in a natural setting like this). Oh...it's expensive too. It is a bit of a rush to step off that first platform, but - if you have any experience with real adventure - that quickly wears off. The views are good, but you get basically the same view from the adjacent road for free. For a cheap, real adventure and forest ecology lesson hike the nearby skyline to the sea trail (or simply Pipeline Rd if you are less adventurous). The interpretive centers at Henry Cowell and Big Basin parks are way more informative than any tour guide on the Mount Hermon Adventures. I read some of the other negative reviews that mentioned racist and homophobic comments being made by tour guides. While I can't comment on that from personal experience, people who live in the area have told us that there used to be (like within the last 25 years) residency rules that prohibited people of color, gay folks and people of non-Christian faiths...and during the 2008 election, there were employees of the facility that had anti-marriage freedom signs in their yards. read more

Celebrating my birthday I couldn't think of anything better than zip lining through redwood trees with my son. Our guides Olivia and Nick made the tour fun, entertaining and informative!! I will most definitely recommend this place to everyone and come back again. Thanks Nick and Olivia both of you were awesome! read more

Mount Hermon Adventures - Zip lining! - Challenge Courses Near Me - Mount Hermon, California

Cameron & Greg was our tour guides. It was a small group, just us and two other guests. My boyfriend decided to take me zip lining for our first time to celebrate our 8 year anniversary together. I always wanted to zip line but I'm afraid of heights. At first I was terrified, my legs began to shake and I got really nervous. Greg, who was helping me latch on & off the line was really cool and friendly. My boyfriend kept making my laugh so it was a great distraction. The more lines we got to fly down, the easier it was and the better I felt. It was seriously crazy, but fun experience. We took a few selfies and Greg helped take some photos with my iPhone for us as well. They even have their own cameras to take photos and you can purchase them for $10 and additional photos for $5 each after that. Cameron was like a pro! Taught us some tricks to do on the line and awesome/interesting facts about the trees. Greg, who recently got hired I think, was great and kept us entertained. Next time we would love to try that rope course! And I'm VERY GLAD it didn't rain or thunder like my weather app said it was going to! read more
