We had a creek a few hundred yards away from our houses. It had hills and trees and wildlife and fishing of course but we didn't really fish all that much. We would go there for hours. I still don't know why it held such an attraction for us as kids. Maybe because it was a place we could be away from our parents for awhile. It was down in a valley away from the site of the houses where we lived.

Another classic game they played - made a “scarecrow” of sorts - and hung him off a rope from a tree on a blind curve people routinely took too fast. Speeding motorist would approach - they’d swing the scarecrow out and motorist would shit their pants panicking and swerving to avoid. Of course they wouldn’t call police because the skid marks showed they were going way too fast and they’d be in trouble too. Worked well until one of the more notorious drunks of town came flying by - swung it in front of him and he never so much as flinched - just mowed down the scarecrow and never touched the brakes - just kept going.

We had a rural road near where I grew up called "Spook Road". It was winding and curvy and had old bridges over rivers. There were canopies of trees overhead with crooked ghostly branches causing tunnels of sorts just like something out of "The Wizard of Oz".

One Halloween my friend and I got an old shirt and old pants and stuffed it with straw and sewed them together. We took a truck to an old suspension bridge on Spook Road and hung the "dummy" from the bridge. It was a popular spot for high school kids to drive on during that night because it was so scary.

We laid in wait a few hundred yards away. Sure enough, after about 15 minutes a car came by and we hear screams.

Today kids would not know what a bottle cap is.

No - really wouldn’t - or a pop top for that matter.

We had a way of hammering pop tops and getting them accepted as a dimes in machines. Thinking is was 30 cents a can in the day.

Also used a quarter on a fishing line - but newer machines and payphones had preventors to stop this. Never realized it was such a thing still I started getting into the coin op stuff.

No eye protection or any kind of protection.

Good one.
Can't do that stuff anymore without becoming part of a headline about your body being discovered somewhere.

I remember traveling with my buddy on vacation through Shenandoah National Park. Picked up a young guy long hair hippie (70s) . He sits in the back seat then pulls out a huge hunting knife...



















To peel an apple.

I used to do that and I used to try to time a "release" as well during the viewing of a nude flashing.
