I do that all the time... just go on wandering drives in the middle of nowhere just to see what I find. Sometimes I'll find interesting shit, like cool antique shops or some hidden backwoods gun shop or a nice classic car for sale wicked cheap sittin in someones driveway or front yard.
I love driving in the summer in my old cars... I'll drive for miles to a new cruise in or same old ones, just to check out other cars, sit around & hang out while other people check out my car.. Can't wait for spring
