There was one particular storm drain in the neighborhood.  It always took a few months to grow that layer of algae that made it easy to slide, plus it was about two feet in diameter so you could crawl through on your hands and knees until you got to the section under the road.  From that point it was straight downhill until you almost got to the creek.  You lie on your back, head first in a rain storm and catch the water flowing by and just slide.  It's perfectly pitch black in there and was better than any ride at Riverside.

Mom and Dad were pretty upset when they found out years later.  What if there was a clog down at the bottom and the water was pooled up.  There's no way to turn around and we would be head first in that pool.  Yeah, I guess we were pretty stupid when we were younger...

Needless to say, the shirt and shorts on those days were done after that trip...
