The Egg Hunt Hiding Place Generator

Just in time for Easter, I've got a handy little applescript for helping you find places to hide all those eggs. Just start up the app and it will pick a general region, specific location, and landmark before using these to piece together a hiding place. Click OK and it will serve up one of three hundred other hiding places. I have made the source available, so feel free to add your own regions, locations, and landmarks to the pool. Now, get out there and hide those eggs!
