Did you ever build forts and tunnels in straw or haymows after baling season?
In my youth, after baling and filling the barns we would pull off a bunch of bales and incorporate rooms connected with tunnels and hidden entrances. Using wood to help support the ceilings. It could be scary as hell crawling deep inside hoping your brothers didn't trap you. But it was a great time. Flashlights weren't what they are today and it didn't take long to start dimming. We knew candles were a bad idea - today's kids?- probably burn themselves alive. Stupid effers.

That sounds like a good way to get eaten by cattle.
Where I grew up, there were generally two types of jobs for teenage boys: baling hay or working fast food. My dad was a manager at a fast food place so he pulled me into that world. I was a bit envious of the guys who would go bale all summer and come back to school with muscles, but I also knew that I would sunburn to the point of spontaneous combustion if I tried working out in the fields. So I came back to school pasty white and smelling vaguely like onion rings.

Ah, but you see, you gained sustenance from the burgers you fried that were sourced from the cattle that spent the summer fattening up on teenaged hicks hiding in hay forts. Turns out that the pimply faced kids working at Mickey D's are apex predators. |

I bet some of you guys made tunnels of hay, hung out with you buddies deep inside and when the flashlights started to dim, you practiced kissing with each other so you could be ready for when the little girls started calling.
Fess up boys!

My dad was lifer military but farm raised. Every year we could get there, it was a trek to the farm to help with the summer chores. We had extensive tunnels and rooms built into the bales also!
Barn was big and builtin hilly country - both levels had direct tractor access so unloading was easier. Miss those days. |

I didn’t know about that until a couple years ago. I laughed. Hard. Grandpa was wound pretty tight at that point in his life. |

Sounds like it would have been fun, but we were city folk.

This is the type of thread other team's fanships make fun of by the way.
