I used to walk 2 miles to school up hill there and back in 6 feet of snow with my sister on my shoulders kids today are pussies.
My family didn’t have a car when I was growing up in Rochester, NY. We walked or took the bus if we needed to go anywhere. High school was over a mile trek one way, in all kinds of weather. Hell, I never owned a new car until I was 40.
And we LIKED it. :=) Yep, uphill both ways.
