No ideas yet? Down on Little Creek Church Rd. just south of Clayton there's a couple of dirt piles leftover from the bypass project (Google 35.632204,-78.446739). I generally try to be a gentleman, but they might bear a slight resemblance to Mae West, or a '59 Caddy...pretty steep! I don't know if someone will run you off if you go there, but I doubt it. Good luck!
A few years ago I saw a few folks sledding beside Heavner Furniture on Market Street in Smithfield. There is a short, steep embankment there. There's a street in Clayton that is good, too. Right behind the Clayton Food Town. I've seen sledders there before too. Its flat at the top of Lombard, progresses into a nice downhill and then flattens back out.
JoCo flat? No way! :jester: We have a steep driveway. I guess the kids could sled into the garage. :lol:
Actually you are right, we jokingly referred to the house across the street as the Swiss chalet. From their front porch to the street would be a sobering ride for most people.
Best place in Clayton is the road into Starmount S/D. Going on O'Neil towards Archer Lodge, it's the last street on the left before GeorgetownS/D, which is right across the street from thos 2 industrial size buildings. Full of twists and turns, very steep. It was our fave 38-40 years ago. 8) Piney Mountain (Amelia Ch. Rd.) beside ande behind McD's was good, too, But I feel sure it's been brined and will be clear with traffic early on.
I was out this evening with my son and I simply let him hold on to a jump rope and I'd just sling him. As tightly packed as the white stuff is this time around, he'd slide probably 60-70 feet before stopping...and we didn't even have to go anywhere.
