Good point. I've been guilty of this in the past and almost did it again yesterday, but caught myself and went back to investigate more.
If I'm taking my time I'll cover 2-4 miles in the springtime, but have done some in-season speed scouts that cover up to 5-6 miles.
The public areas around me aren't so big that it takes a lot of time or miles to get in and out.
