We had fun until the county road commission leveled a good chunk of it.


When I was a junior in high school (1976) there was a bridge with a steep ramp on each end. A popular activity was to drive up the ramp fast enough to get airborne.

A guy in my class tried it in a Jeep. Rolled it on landing. He died. Passenger died. 9th grade girl in the back seat was paralyzed, at least for a while. shock

It became much less popular after that.
