I realize one could go to Google Maps and just click on random places, but for some reason this site makes it much more random and fun for me.

It won't work for me, but I'm going to try different links or something, because this would be perfect for Rain Man!

When I set it to just North America, the first place that came up was some place about 50 miles southwest of Colorado Springs....
Then the second random selection was a place I could drive to in about 25 minutes.....

I learned something looking at that map! I always thought Cripple Creek was farther west than Royal Gorge, but it isn't. So Royal Gorge is officially the furthest west I've ever been, not Cripple Creek.....

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Maybe Rocky Flats -- there may still be some deadly radioactivity hanging around -- where's that glow in the dark ES? It could come true!

My random location: Twin Lake Dr.; Moore, Oklahoma
Isn't that, like, 10 miles from SC's house? I bet I couldn't get that close to a BB again.
