POP POP IS A KID AGAIN

HEY KID, WHA'CHA DOIN?

THERE'S A LITTLE KID INSIDE ALL OF US FOR SURE.

ON THE WAY BACK FROM HERO MOUNTAIN, THE STEPS DOWN WERE LONG AND STEEP. DANA WAS BEING CARED FOR, ASSISTED, AND PROTECTED BY SEVERAL STUDENT CHAPARONES.

JAY DECIDED TO TRY A LITTLE FASTER WAY DOWN. DANA ENCOURAGED THIS. THE STUDENTS LOVED IT.

THE ROCK SLIDES WERE WORN SLIPPERY SMOOTH BY PEOPLE SLIDING DOWN THEM OVER THE YEARS, QUITE PROBABLY SINCE EITHER THE MING OR THE HAHN DYNASTY.

IN AMERICA THESE WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE HAD SPEED BUMPS, SPIKES, GLASS OR NAILS IMPLANTED INTO THE SLIPPERY SLIDE SURFACE BY THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY & HEALTH ADMINISTRATION POLICE TO KEEP THEM SAFE AND TO INSURE THAT THEY COULD NO LONGER FUNCTION AS FUN .... BUT NOT HERE.

ROCK (SLIDE) AND ROLL!

ACTUALLY, IT WAS KIND OF FUN, BUT SURPRISINGLY SLOW ON A VERY COLD DAY, AS YOU SEE. THE ONE JAY WENT DOWN WHICH WE DID NOT VIDEO TAPE WAS LONGER, MORE SLIPPERY AND WELL JUST FASTER.
