Them little hills were harder to negotiate back then.My dad used to tell us he had to walk uphill to and from school, and he did about a 5 foot hill from his house to the school yard and then he went to his grandmas after school that was across the school yard from home and about another 5 foot hill to that yard
They were covered in thistles, briars, and infested with Black Widows and poisonous snakes.
