Lol, it was soo much fun!

Originally Posted By Tinkeroon I loved Kimba!! I still eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Anybody else ever roll down the sidewalk in a tire? Or have a tire swing? And we always built forts.

There was this one huge walnut tree in the center of one of the pear orchards; and at some time or other someone had carved a skull and crossbones into it. We'd climb that tree and it became our pirate ship!

Everyday we would go over there and put pennies on the track and collect them. We also looked for Rail Spikes all the time. I don't know what ever happen to all of them I had!
