Embracing a slow travel style of riding and walking has been a gift for me. For exactly the reasons you outline. The amount of experience is greatly increased when I slow down.

Morning walks are great. I almost always do them with the two dogs, and while I love walking with them, they do demand a certain level of attention that can get in the way of unbridled wandering. Especially when other dogs approach. One alone is far easier though that approach would double my daily walking mileage. Not ready for that.

Good luck in your search for autumnal splendour. It’s beginning to show here as well.

Are you talking about wandering on two wheels or on foot? Seems you can always wander on foot.

Seems to me that you could do a lot of sky watching when you’re boondocking!

Glad you liked it. I try and time publishing for the early morning for all the coffee and tea drinkers who follow Scooter in the Sticks!
