Things you miss (or don't) about the place you grew up

[fyodor]

Mostly I miss youth itself as I had a great time running free in the woods most every day. Except when we had to work in the garden and stuff.

One location I kind of miss though would be 'the clay banks' which were about a mile away from our house. Not sure how far the drop was to the stream at the bottom or what the angle of the drop was but we used to run out into the air and see how far we could get down. Kind of like ski jumpers hitting the slope when we landed except it seemed to be much steeper than that. I remember when we got too big and strong for it and almost landed at the bottom. Any further and we would surely have gotten busted up pretty good.
