We had run of the better part of 5 miles around our farm via atv or horse. As long as we weren't gone more than 3/4 of a day or so, our parents didn't check in on us.

wow... I can't go 5 minutes without my parents checking in on me. either they are looking for the cat (often on my bed listening to me play guitar) or something like that.

We didn't have cell phones then. That might be the main difference.
I think most of the immediate area where I grew up still doesn't have cell phone coverage.
LOL I know what you mean corrijean. I grew up the same way. Pack a lunch and go build a tree fort the whole day off in the woods somewhere, come back after accidentally knocking into a wasp nest. Nowadays I live in the suburbs. My kids think walking to the park a half block away is a big deal :-)

My brother and I chopped down quite a few trees in an attempt to build a log cabin. We were equipped with hatchets. As you can imagine, the trees we chopped down weren't quite big enough to build a cabin out of. We gave up after chopping and notching ten or so trees.

LOL, you and I would have had great fun together as kids :-) In hindsight, though, the main thing isn't the cabin... it's the memories. You just can't compete with real live experience!

I was rather enjoying that fight between ChristianSoldier and Helzeth and then Corrijean messed it up. Darn.
@The_Gavinator - You know those Crusades? The Muslims pretty much gave as good as they got. It really wasn't Christian warriors going down there and slaughtering Muslims, because sometimes the Christian warriors went down there and got themselves slaughtered.
Yeah they weren't very successful, but it's a bunch of people like CS who think that God wants them to go and slaughter non-christians. The Crusades failed though.
Yeah. big metal buckets over an open fire seemed to do the trick. Plus there was some wierd chemical crap you put in the water too if I recall.
