I used to visit the town of Bisbee AZ every summer to visit cousins. Bisbee is an old mining town built on the sides of steep hills. In those days they had open concrete lined ditches that coursed down the streets, their purpose was to catch and divert runoff from the hilltops to prevent flooding. Periodically in their course downhill they go under streets and when they did there'd be a sieve made of one inch vertical pipes spaced about three inches apart to keep trash, weeds, hapless pets and errant 5 year olds from getting sucked into the piped sections. The ditches, having a constant trickle flowing thru them in the summer rains would build up a lovely two inch thick coating of snot-slick moss. We found that a grocer's waxed cardboard produce box exactly fit us and the ditch bottom. We'd fly downhill in those things until we hit one of the sieves, impossible to stop. There were several good runs that were a couple of blocks long and you could really build up speed. I don't know how many bloody noses and goose-egged foreheads I suffered and it was all worth it, including the spankings we always got when we showed up back at the house bloody, muddy and spattered with green slime.
