And his last class in the afternoon was in a little valley at the base of the hill so it was uphill back home. During the day, he moved up and down to get from building to building for his classes. He had a dog named "uphill". He lived on a Penrose Field , with the school on the other side.
Uphill both ways, unless of course some days he felt lazy and went downhill both ways! Your grandpa travelled to and from school on a team boat that used a human treadwheel system of propulsion. To operate the paddles and gain forward motion, he would have to walk uphill in both directions. He lived part way up a mountain and went to skiing school. Uphill to the lesson at the top, and uphill from the bottom of the slope back home. I believe that this question has been most accurately answered in the following scenario.
Your grandfather lives on one side of a ravine. The building is on the other side. A tightrope with room for some slack is strung between the two sides. Because of the weight distribution, when your grandfather uses the tightrope, he would have to walk uphill either way to reach the end of the tightrope.
Grandpa's family owned six houses, all distributed at different heights along the same mountainside. Needless to say, his family was quite wealthy. There were also five different schoolhouses along the mountainside, each one in-between two of Grandpa's houses. On Monday, Grandpa would start at the lowest house on the mountain, and would walk uphill to the lowest school. When school was done, he would walk home, uphill, to the second-lowest house.
The next day, he would walk uphill to the next school up the slope, and so on. Each morning he would walk to a different school, and then go home to a different house. On the weekend he would ski down the mountain and start over. Grandpa lived in the valley of a mountain with the school halfway up.
In the morning he'd walk uphill to school. After school he'd walk uphill to a cliff at the top of the mountain overlooking the valley. He'd then paraglide home. Grandpa would walk uphill to school, and while he was there, great-grandpa would sail the boat upstream through some locks.
By the time grandpa got out of school, he'd have to walk uphill to the houseboat, before sailing back downstream to the bay. He'd get off the boat at low tide and walk uphill to school, but when school let out at high tide, he'd have to walk uphill to get back to his house.
The school is built on the side of a mountain. The entrance is at the top. The exit is at the bottom. The house is in the middle. This can also explain why it was "in the snow" as many of these stories are. His house was on a hill above the school, but the school was at the top of a high-rise building, higher than his house.
He walked up stairs in the morning but took the elevator down and then walked the rest of the way in the afternoon. Thus he had a walking elevation gain both ways. Is "Uphill" his dog, which he walked to school with him everyday? It still stands today, and if you look around you may even get a glimpse of an old farmhouse, although most are gone, replaced with newer homes. Contact us: news voiceofthevalley.
