The Phillips and Clarks with their guides Ronald and Pedro on
our canopy  tour of Hacienda Baru National Wildlife Refuge.
Dad on a platform ready to fly to the
next tree on the Tour.
He's off!
Watch out for that
tree!
I beleive this tree is a non native member of the
Cedar Family planted for wood production
Not the tree to run into flying through the Jungle.
The Following are pictures of Pat, Gary, Natalie, Maddie, Courtney and Cliff on the Hacienda Baru Canopy Tour.
