On my One Room School pic, on down toward the bottom I mentioned about making stilts. All the ones that the kids had were only about a foot off the ground. I made my first pair that high and one day I started thinking they would be
more fun if they were a little higher. so then after I made a set a little higher I got to wondering just how high
I could go and still walk on them. They kept getting higher until they were 6 or 7 feet up. You sure do make a big step
on stilts with the blocks that high off the ground. To get on them I'd have to go off the ladder. When I wanted off I'd
shove them straight out and drop to the ground. Couldn't walk around too long cause they would get to heavy to pick
up. LOL. I found the pic that my mother took of me walking and thought maybe it might bring back some memories
for some of you. There must have been more than Just Monty that had fun with stilts.
I was 15 years old when this was taken with an old Kodac Box camera. The pic is showing signs of age now.
