I had great parents, but basically us kids were free to roam as long as we stayed within certain boundaries. We had a couple mile radius with caveats to stay away from certain peoples yards and be home when the street lights came on.
When I was 9, my folks put me and my 11 year old sister on a greyhound for a two day trip to my grandparents house. I have so many great memories of stopping in every little town and the wonderful characters who kept us entertained along the way.
Can you even imagine doing these things today? The slide into moral decay has come swiftly for America.

I grew up on the outskirt of Houston but it was not the huge city it is now. I roamed around miles from home, alone, except for my horse. Sugarfoot is the reason I could go so far. I would not let a kid do that today.
