One hike, one plate of barbecue, one brewery — strung together into a single day on the road.
Pick any one at random and it finds you the closest of the other two, then draws the loop on a map. It ran for years out of North Carolina, one Saturday at a time.
The server's been put to rest. But the whole thing is small enough to run on its own now — so the map still works. Deal yourself one for old times' sake.
What it did
Three categories — pigs (barbecue), parks (a hike), pints (a brewery). It rolled a random anchor, found the nearest neighbor in each of the other two, and handed back a loop you could actually drive on a Saturday.
The numbers
Every trip carries a serial like 370811614. That number is the trip — it seeds the deal, so the same link always rebuilds the same three stops. Bookmark a ticket and it keeps.
Reviving it
It's a single page now, no server behind it. Swap the PLACES list for your own spots, push to GitHub Pages, point the domain at it, and it's back. Notes for that are in the README.
