I thought of another thing we (still) do.
There is an old broken tressel over Mill Pond in my old town and we cross it all the time - it's a short cut. The thing is old and decreped and they were going to close it off, but the kids of the town convinced them to keep it open. Woohoo!
This is it (it doesn't look that messed up, but it's the beams between and under the tracks that are gonna give out at any time haha)
