On the ropes in Lanesboro

Try walking a high wire on Halloween.

Are your Halloween plans up in the air? Imagine walking on a cable three stories above the forest floor, with nothing to hang onto except a rope swaying overhead. Now imagine doing it at night, helped along by ghouls.

That's the Haunted High Ropes course at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center, just west of Lanesboro, Minn., on a bluff overlooking the North Branch of the Root River. It's 6-10 p.m. Oct. 29 in 2010, and the $20 tickets go on sale Oct. 4; call 507-467-2437.
