Cool story. Makes one ponder what today's kids could do if we just turned them loose to explore. Not the same, but as 13 year olds in the early 70s we thought nothing of catching the train and kicking around Philadelphia for the day. And that was gritty, dirty, crime-ridden 1970s Philly.

Great story. My dad and his pals used to ride their horses all over Portland, Salem, Clackamas when they were under 10 years old.

Too many humans in the states now to have any freedom; too many humans who should be jailed are not.

Now, all kids get is virtual freedom, especially being locked down for a disease that doesn't threaten them.
