The day began overcast and very, very windy. However, by about 2:30 in the afternoon the clouds broke and there was scattered sunshine. That was all it took. As a bonus, the wind dropped in speed to just very windy. I begain the walk at the seven kilometre mark from our home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I drove to the normal spot for the shorter version of my free hikes, not sure if I would even be able to hike as the farmers were out in force seeding crops and spraying&nbsp; pre-emergent chemicals to keep the weeds down until the crops had a chance to establish themselves. I was lucky. There was no evidence of farmer activity which meant that I would be able to walk the full distance without worrying about meeting anyone along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this time of year, there are no mosquitoes or other biting insects. With warm temperatures, the walk was rather pleasant. It was with regret that I reached the turn around point as it meant that I didn\u2019t have much longer to spend outdoors in complete freedom. Though one can see for many miles without a tree to obscure one\u2019s vision, the landscape is varied enough to be interesting. More importantly from a naturist point of view, the location is off the beaten track. I have yet to meet another human on these free hikes over the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the walk completed, I put on my shorts and shirt and drove back to my home in the small prairie town. I still have a few chores related to the deck to complete before the afternoon is done. Then, I will be returning to writing. The writing muse has finally put in her appearance and I find myself motivated again to work on my naturist novel. Such is the new normal of life in the Covid-19 era for a naturist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I honestly didn\u2019t expect that I would get out for a free hike today.
