The Greatest Grandpa EVER!
This Minnesota grandpa is making the rounds all over the internet and being called the “greatest grandpa” ever!
This is really cool, this grandpa from Minnesota just created the thing of dreams. “Papa Bear Plunge” is what his grandkids are calling it. A 200 foot long sledding course in his backyard.
Here is a video of what it looks like riding down the course.

This is really cool and makes this grandpa one of the greatest of all time, but it also reminded me of a story from when I was a kid.
I was very fortunate to grow up in a neighborhood that had cool kids and even cooler parents. One year when we were all really into snowboarding, my dad and our neighbor took all of the snow from our yards and created an awesome snowboarding hill and trick course for us.
They started with a massive hill that led off to different paths. Each path had something on it, one had a picnic table so we could ride it, another had a rail so we could grid.
That is something I will never forget and seeing this story just brought backs some great memories. There was only one problem with them doing it. I don’t think the snow melted until early summer.
It is funny how different stories bring back memories, I haven’t thought about that hill in years. Cool to relive it.
Remember this local luge track from a few years ago?
