You live too close to Hooper. We used to burn tires out where the big ponds would freeze over as we skated all night long when I was a kid. During the winter of 1947 we had four-five feet of snow in Hooper.
Also there was a huge pond up near Smith and Edwards where we would do the same after we moved to Farr West to a larger dairy farm. We would also go up to the top of the foothills above Pleasant View and coast down on our sleds late at night.
Great memories of Weber County.
Oh man, it sounds like fun. It’s not the same now, even S&E. My husband lo-oooved poking around the Army surplus stuff and the big yard.
