There is a small local newsletter style that reports business news, then the rest is just social events. I listen to the police scanner for crime reports bc none of the local news talks about it. This is a tourist town .

Or find the newspaper someone else was done with which was my way of doing things.

I used paper maps before internet and smart phones, I used to have a better sense of where I was . I bought a local map recently as well as a good compass, the compass just to get oriented in which direction things are.
I feel more connected and grounded than when using Google maps.
Surprises are part of this path but that’s true of any adventure.
