Lois Schroeder (right) and Carol Phillips (left) recently celebrated their 80th birthdays by going on a zip line tour with three of their friends. Both admitted that they were scared at first, but those feelings quickly subsided. "But by the last zip, I didn't want it to end," Schroeder said.
Camas resident Lois Schroeder, 80, prepares to launch on one of the seven zip lines that are part of the Skamania Zip Line Tour in Stevenson. The Camas resident has a fear of bridges, so she was hesitant at first to tackle the adventure. "But by the last zip, I didn't want it to end," she said.
They say a person is never too old to try something new, and five local women are proving that by living their twilight years to the fullest.
The latest adventure taken on by these ladies in their 70s and 80s had them suspended in the air and zipping from tree to tree in the rain forest of Skamania County.
