Longest Zipline in the Country, With Speeds Over 55 MPH, Short Drive From CNY
The longest zip line in the country, flying through the forest at 55 MPH, is only a few hours from Central New York. The Catamount Zip Tour is made up of three separate zip lines. The first is a training zip. The second zip is one of the longest zip lines in New York and New England. The final zip, called the Catamonster, is the biggest zipline in North America and the 7th longest in the world. The two-minute zipline is hundreds of feet in the air, over 5,500 feet long, and sails across miles of views from the Catskills to Mt. Greylock at 55 MPH.

THEATER REVIEW: ‘RENT’ plays at the Mac-Haydn Theatre through July 28
Mac-Haydn Theatre in Chatham, N.Y. To be clear, I do not like “RENT.” This is the fourth production I have seen and each time I feel let down and almost embarrassed that I am sitting through it. There are 20 identifiable songs in Act One, and I only like two of them: “Tango Maureen” and “La Vie Boheme.” I also enjoy the twanging electric guitar riffs on the melody of “Musetta’s Waltz,” which is referred to in a negative manner in the second act. Loosely based on Puccini’s opera “La Boheme,” this modern update retains only one character name: Mimi. However, the show blatantly exploits her manner of living, which makes her a disagreeable character, not good for the heroine of the show.
