What a blast Jim! My brother and neighbor spent our adventures in abandoned strip mines in western, Pa! We would go back in the woods and construct makeshift huts, and lean to's on someone's land! Steam would seep out of the ground(probably radon!); I'm sure we probably have radioactivity in our dna!

I would have been a much better swimmer sooner if I had your wet world. Thanks for the adventure, my friend!

I think we had similar experiences as kids. I remember most a sense of freedom. And, yes, the world turned on what a cute girl said or did. Enjoyed this, Jim!

Great story. I enjoyed the details of Florida and how you cared about what cute girls think.

Thanks Scott! Yes, cute girls pretty much ruled the world for me back then.
