When I was a kid we didn't have computers everywhere, so most of the time we played outside it was done in the local woodland. I think my old highschool still has a lot of natural woods around its property, but most of the other locations have been cut down and redeveloped since then.Maybe that's why they always ended up playing in the forest? Leia could at least relax then![]()
Carving our own trails through the woods, establishing routes for the bikes, that was a lot of fun. We even uncovered a 20 foot hole one year, which seemed very oddly placed. It was like a giant had scraped it out in the center of the woodland. if it had been coated with cement it would have been a great bike/skate ramp.
One of the great advantages to being in the woods was that nobody (e.g. authority figures, police, parents, whatever) could see you there. It gave a real sense of freedom. If you're also fooling around with your sister, probably even more reason to not want to be seen.
