Sledding at the Shell Rock

I wonder how many of our classmates ever had the joy of sledding down the hill onto the Shell Rock? I only did it one time, and had what was then the time of my life.

Larry Holstad showed me the run and then did a demonstration. I had to follow and honestly was a bit terrified at how fast I was going, how I often became airborne, and how the sled seemed to have a mind of its own, ending when I failed to steer it away from a tree. Got a nice shiner out of that tree.

Bumps and bruises - part of growing up.
