[Region Warrior]

Made our own gun powder out of charcoal/sulfur/salt peter for home made mortar.
Was a 4"W x 3'L iron pipe w/a cap on one end. Used primer cord for fuse.
Angled/wedged under a 3'H x 4'L boulder w/huge rocks hold'n it in place.

Did the fork deal on Huffy 5spd stingray(or whatever they'r version was). Lit'l longer then Schwinn's.
Had a 1/2 mile long very hilly(some so steep couldnt stop) back woods bike path w/a creek run'n thru for 10spd races.
If couldnt slow down at bttm of one curve you'd end up in 3'-4' water.
Also was a 40'H x 100'L RR trestle thru there we'd cross to get to other side of town instead of round the block. Saved 2-3 miles.
Have to watch for trains 1st...

BB fights.
Dirt clod fights.
Bottle rocket and Roman Candle fire fights lol.
Try to make plastic model cars go down the road with Estes rocket engines. Never did work well lol.

Camp'n out all nite and raid gardens for snacks. Everyone had one along with fruit trees, grapes, rasberriers, strawberries, etc.

Fish all day long. Had our own worm patch.
Ice hockey till we couldnt stand.
Tree fort made with every scrape of wood we could find. Was 20' up in an old Oak.
Only way to get up/down was a knot'd rope. Unless you had an extension latter to reach limb.

HO slot cars and trains. My drag strip was 25' long.
Still have whats left of sets stored away since the 80's.
Only other things still have are 2-3 unstarted model rockets and one car(maybe get to'm aftr the 67-68 FB's are done).
Nephews distroyed my model collection aftr moved away frm home.

Lit'l older we had a 1/8th mile oval dirt track behind my house for go-carts and mini bikes. Then beater cars & trks.
