Both times we've lived off grid, I was able to stroll outside nude at will. That was so freeing even just to know I could at anytime. Now, though, we live in a mobile home park in the city. With as small as our yards are, and as close together as the units are I'd give our sweet little old lady neighbor a thrill and a heart attack at the same time.
Living out in the rural part of the area the traffic is about zero overnight and my neighboring homes are separated with a bit of property between us all. So I am able to walk down the road to the paper box in the early morning without incident. I will too at times while down there stroll down the road and back but not by the other homes. If a car would come i have plenty of trees and bushes to step into until it passes.
We always took a lap around the loop at Cypress Cove ( Cypress Mill drive & Sun Cove drive ) about a mile before breakfast and sometimes after dinner, if we didn't have too much wine. We used to stay for a couple of weeks, spending a couple of days there then one day of outing to one of the theme parks or other attraction.
I don't know why it did double pictures!
What a wonderful feeling to be able to take a stroll for an hour or so every morning with my coffee, without a concern. Occasionally I would pass or chat with the other early risers, the occasional employee starting their day and the pool guy. What a great community!
This sounds fantastic, getting chills just thinking about participating in those walks. Sigh...

I don't do this as often I used to, although I am often out in the back yard after dark when the dog wants out. I have neighbors in the back who usually have a bright security light on so I'm not as likely to be out if that light is on, same for a full moon.
I used to take walks at night in the neighborhoods I have lived in over the years. Once I was asked by a couple I encountered where my pants were. That was bit amusing.
I have other stories as well, I'll save for another time.
