My older step sister and I used to do this. We were heavily unsupervised. We'd get on our bikes and ride to different convenience stores, wooded areas, friends houses, and faraway towns. We knew many shortcuts that werent considered ideal for children. Most of those wooded areas, long dirt roads and fields had gang activity or hobos gathered there. We were poor, so we were always creative with how to spend our money. Back then 4 dollars could get us a slice of pizza, two small sodas, two packs of cookies, and an ice cream cone. We would sometimes shoplift if we didn't have cash or do other things small children shouldnt. When I think about it, we could have been kidnapped or something back then.
I use to wander around a lot when I was a kid, did you?
