    It is OK, I guess.

    We had about 200 feet from the house downhill and then about 100 feet to a creek, and would pack the sled run with a 55 gallon drum rolling it down the hill.

    The best runs required a bail out before the toboggan or saucer went over the 8 foot 'cliff' and into the creek.

    How all of got through childhood without more broken bones is amazing.

    as kids we had a jalopy home built by a welder friend of my dad. 2 cylinder Wisconsin engine, lots of jeep parts, etc etc. it would do 35 or so. back in those days grocery store bread was delivered in aluminum trays, just big enough for 2 kids or 1 high schooler. try 35 over the cow pasture and trying to steer the sled away from the briar patches, where the older brothers driving would steer towards. ya how did we survive?

    Hopefully they were not barbed wire.
