If we had a snow day like today when I was a kid we used to go down to Suicide Hill (the big hill south of King Park) and use whatever we could scavenge to make sleds and tobogans out of - the best one we had was a hood from a '53 Chevy we found on an abandoned car on the wharf - we could get 4 or 5 of us on it.

Little tough to steer away from the tall pines, however...

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
