The woods-the wind- catching frogs.
Funny-We did the opposite
I remember living out in Brooklyn as a kid and driving Upstate to Kent Cliffs to the summer get away and fishing the summer away plus exploring the woods around.
That was when there were still dirt roads and no condo's around.
One of my main reasons to move to Colorado is theres a whole great state of outdoors to enjoy.![]()
Bottle rocket fights, jumping off the roof with my own, homemade parachute, watching "Adam 12" and "Emergency", driving my dad's brand new Sears tractor straight into the lake after unloading it from the truck, snorkeling off the coast of Algiers amid Roman ruins, shooting turtles in the lake with dad's old .30-30, discovering how to make my own black powder out of saltpeter, crushed charcoal and sulphur.
I was an eggspurt at making mini sticks of dynamite: 1 cardboard pants-hanger tube, candle wax, homemade blackpowder, 6" of model rocket fuse. I could take down a 6" or 8" diameter tree faster than Paul Bunyan ever dreamed off! I can't imagine what would happen to a kid now for doing something like that.

This is a good thread Ducky in lime light of all the other negative out there!
I had a lot of bad memories when I was a kid up until my Dad got custody of me when I was almost 10. It was a life changing event.
We did everything together from shooting, watching star wars over and over again, camping, traveling, Jeeps, and even playing video games together. (yes he was good at shooters and side scrolling action games, he was a big kid at heart)
Some of my fav memories was when we built my first BMX together, and the first gun he bought me. I saved up some money and he paid the rest and bought it for me. It was a Ruger P 9mm, then we got a family membership at Firing line and started shooting together every week.
I miss my Dad but have all the memories to keep him in my heart and hope to do the same with my two boys.![]()
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
