Same here :-) I love my early morning walks for the same reason: the fewer people, the better. I also love the freshness of the early morning air, the silence of the man-made world in which we can listen to nature and hear what it has to say... The idea to drive 30 miles to walk a less traveled beach doesn't sound crazy to me:-) ... Lovely story, full of gratitude and kindness ♥️ Thanks for sharing!
