I like CGOAB. Not every journal is good reading, but that's okay. The site could look better, but really it's just a wrapper for all the user-generated content. Sometimes I'll read about trips I'd like to take. Sometimes I'll find a journaler I like and read their trips. Sometimes I'll see a random photo that intrigues me, and I'll find myself reading about an unexpected location. Sometimes I just want to see who's gone through a certain area and what route they took and what they noticed.
All those things I find easy to do on CGOAB. I can't spend all my time touring. I can't even spend all my time reading about touring, but I can sometimes get a quick fix on Crazy Guy.
