- well 1) duh, i love them all.
- but 2) scenes from these movies could have been shot in some of the areas that we saw on our coastal drive from sacramento to oregon!
we spent a week in sacramento with my mom. it was awesome! hanging out with my mom every day. eating her cooking every day - so good! hanging out with family! resting, resting resting. seriously, the first two days were spent watching all the Harry Potter movies. yes, ALL of them :) we were so tired and just needed to be lazy! definitely an awesome week. ;)
I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
from sacramento, we had to head up to oregon. we decided to take the very scenic Route 1 Coastal Highway drive, and stop along the way at beach bouldering spots! this route would take us about 3 days. we started by driving through Napa and Sonoma. if i drank wine, we could've stopped at some wineries. instead, we just looked at all the grapevines. pretty cool. then we hit the coast. talk about beautiful! the ocean continues forever!
our first stop was Fort Ross. this beach looked like Goonies! the huge rocks just off the beach could have easily fit in that coin that Mikey had when looking for One-Eyed Willie's Treasure! the bouldering was cool, i guess. i have ZERO power. i could barely send the warmups. ;) the fun part is climbing on the beach! however, jason was trying some cool stuff on some fun looking boulders :)
do you see the rocks just off the shore (on the left of the photo)? there were more.. and it totally looked like Goonies!
pulling moves on small bouldery crimps.. ow.
big pop for the next hold!
didnt make it ;) so hes resting before his next go.
where is the coin with the holes from Goonies? i know that peak fits..
our second stop was Moonstone Beach. it was Grease! the opening scenes where Sandy meets Danny - totally this beach! we couldnt really climb here. turns out, the sand level is about 2' higher than in the photos! weird! i guess the beach sand level changes? anyway, having the starts of the problems buried so deep really changed everything. you couldnt really climb. we just hung out a bit and people-watched, and then moved on.
our next stop was Redwood Forest. i know i was always looking around the corner for Wicket .. Ewoks from Return of the Jedi! this forest is truly amazing! the trees are ENORMOUS! they can live to be thousands of years old and reach heights of 300ft -- although it seemed like some of them were taller than that. ;)
cars will drive through this tree .. unfortunately, Nessa was just a little too tall.
look at the size of these trees! thats Nessa!
jason took this awesome photo. this is looking up at the treetop. see the size of the pieces of bark?
the absolute best part of this deserves its own post! stay tuned .. !!!
