There is a Costco about 15 miles from me one way and another one about
30 miles the other way. If I am travelling that far I want to make it
worth while. The parking lots are both stores are usually very busy, but
I have always been able to find a space without too much trouble My
friend and I go for bike rides together, so it is nice to have a
destination. It is only when I go by bike that I keep it under $100.
