I was born in 85, so that gives you a reference for when I was running around. At age 6, I was allowed a couple blocks away from the house by roadway and I was allowed to go to the other side of the horse farm next to our property. A couple years later I had free reign and a range of about a square mile, maybe more. if I lived in the same neighborhood I grew up in and had kids, I'd let them do the same. If I had kids in the neighborhood I live in now, they'd have a shorter leash in certain directions as there are some large roadways and less-desirable neighborhoods where bullets are likely to fly.

Growing up, I had a fairly short leash due to the fact that we lived on a busy rural hwy. My dad didn't want us crossing the street and walking over a bridge to my cousins' houses, but I always ignored him. Back then, the path to the back of our property was blocked by barbed wire fences and a large gate, so I rarely went too far into the woods and swamp. I could wander (though rarely did) as far as St. Amant Park to the north, my neighbor/cousin's house to the west, and my Aunt Janie's house/stringer bridge to the east.

It was a great place to grow up.
