Have you ever seen a goat tree? Or a bicyclist overtaking a car downhill? Or maybe the 'Antichrist' eyeing you from the next pasture over? What about the first date interview with Dad? And of course, explosives - never forget the explosives! Let Ward Clark take you back to his youth in the 1970's with 26 wild, hilarious, and often hair-raising tales of his adventures while growing up in northeastern Iowa.
Read about daring stunts, dynamite experiments, steep hill rides, and truck escapades alongside barroom dances, skunk pranks, and river-camp misadventures, many of which are steeped in testosterone-fueled bravado, improbable escapes, and the messy realities of farm life (manure, swine tanks, and all).
Beneath the laughs and near-misses, Clark captures the bonds forged by small-town rivalries, reckless curiosity, and the shared buddy code; Lessons learned the hard way amid thunderstorms, lightning scares, snowstorms, and midnight raids. Nostalgic, trenchant, and vividly observed, these tales celebrate youthful folly, the stubborn resilience of rural communities, and friendships that last a lifetime.
