What is the best place you have visited on your travels and why?
A friend and I were in the geographical center of Nevada, 1:00AM on a clear summer night.

You know, I'm just trying to be a bit more social, although I guess mentioning tequila as a hobby might give some of you the wrong impression!

No wrong impressions here! Last week when John was up here for vacation, he went to a tequila bar one night and then hit the twisties all day the next day. That tells me that he can appreciate good tequila without going overboard. No one could have hit the tequila hard and done that ride the next day.
