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.....

Canon City, I bet! Someone's trying to tell you something! That's where the state prison is!

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.....

Rocky Ford is where those yummy cantaloupes that SC and I love so much come from!
The store is out at the moment.

And I'm guessing NYC is the furthest east for you. How about north and south?

No mangy rodents need to go to Colorado.
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.
