In 4th grade I was walking a mile and a half home from school.
Forgot to add, in the snow, uphill both ways.
Yes but your Mother didn’t love you Larry.....
I walked that far both ways.
And, there wasn't any major street within 5 or more miles of my home I didn't recognize. I don't think walking 3 miles home would have been a great big deal. Not during the day and in mild weather.
