"When The Field was being readied for new houses and roads, we would pull all the survey sticks out of the ground, every time they were replaced. How dare they wreck The Field!"
Holy space warp! We had The Field over by my house in San Jose. We'd throw sheets of corrugated sheet metal (stuff we found) out there in the summer, where it would get all hot during the day. Go out a few times a week or so, and that's where the bluebellies, alligator lizards, and the occasional gopher snake would be.
The Field was right next to the The Creek, where we found salmanders and leopard frogs, and The Dairy, where we'd take our dog to chase the cows.

Whoa! We used to go to The V-Room, which was in The Creek, which was actually an Old Storm Drain that led to a Scary Old Mansion that you've seen in movies, but which I will not identify for reasons that shall remain secret. :)

We had The Creek in San Bruno. It was part of the "Indian Burial Grounds". I dont think any remains were ever found there. Acres of unimproved land, it was GREAT! Dirt clod fights, rope swings, where I sustained a concussion.
It was part of the city park, they had a section of it that was big BBQ section, where the 'hippies' would hold mini concerts, love ins, we used to spy on them. If my parents had found out the things we saw there!
