US Highline Trip - short summary

It's difficult to write about everything which has happened after almost three months of highlining and slacklining in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Yosemite (CA), Moab (UT), Terry's place (CO), and Joshua Tree (CA). For sure there is a lot of backlog, so after returning to Poland I'll have something to do. I can say that everyone of us has become a better highliner, and personally I have already walked 20 highlines, and still have 2 weeks left, so hopefully I'll rig and walk the 65m long "Big Boy" Highline in Joshua Tree + some new lines here. I'm really happy about it. Last year I walked 40 new highlines, and on this trip I walked half of this amount in 3 months. After J. Tree all of us are leaving to L.A. and then to San Luis Obispo to meet with Jerry Miszewski, rig an 80m long highline and probably walk some of the local 'classic-lines'.
