Flashback 55

















While taking pictures at the beach, I spied a playground slide. Wishing to gain a higher vantage point, I decided to climb up. As I was about to take that first step, a sudden rush of memory stopped me cold: This slide was exactly like the one at my old grade school forty years ago!


(The beach was at Higgins Lake, not far from where I took THIS picture!)

  5. Must have been a very old slide, because now a days they make them out of plastic.

    My 55 is here.

  11. They never let us have a slide at our school. Just rocks and the occasional stick to play with. I'm serious!!
