Escape.

There is, of course, a hesitation to make any rules for the road; the main reason you’re out there is to escape any confinement other than that of change and motion.  But certain precepts and theories should be kept in mind:  

Don’t compute time and distance. Computing time and distance vitiates the benefits to be gotten from aimlessness. Leave that sort of thing to civilians with their specious categories of birthdays, average wage, height and weight, the number of steps to second floors. If you get into this acquisitive mood, make two ninety-degree turns and backtrack for a while. Or stop the car and run around in a big circle in a field. Climbing a tree or going swimming also helps. Remember that habit is a form of gravity that strangulates.
