Thanks.  I've got a friend that was in Goonies.

Ah, cool! Did he have a very big part?

[Cheesemaker]

No, she was was in several of the scenes when there were crowds.  And a couple where they needed somebody to walk by. 

She went to the 20th anniv. reunion and had a blast.  She has a sweat shirt that says 20th anniv. Goonies, and everybody wants it.

Oh, nice! I love that movie. 

[Cheesemaker]

Its a classic.  We got it on DVD from Wallyworld for like $5, and it got us into looking for other "Old" movies for our kids.  We've gotten the Black Hole, Dark Crystal, the Neverending Story and various other movies we grew up with.  And our kids love them!!!

[fordh8r]

Those are all good kids movies. 


How about some more pics?

[fordh8r]

Nice pic's 

The answer was NO...it was a she. 

[Tallchevy]

But you still wanted to know how big the part was before you found out it was a she

I got alot more pics from the year, but I really hate the new photobucket mass uploader.  It sucks!! 

Here's a few~









I love to photograph the Astoria/Metzler bridge.  Cause it was the last project my grandpa worked on when he was a crane operator for Union Local 701.  I was sad when they took down the cooling tower for Trojan Nuclear power facility.  It was another that he worked on.

great pics!!

Are these all taken near Tillamook?

[Cheesemaker]

Majority of them yes.  A handful of the others are within 2 hours from Tillamook.  There is so many beautiful places to photograph in my area.  I hate it when I'm on my way to work and you see this great shot, but I have to be at work, and no camera with me.  I really need to win the lottery, just so I can just become a wheeling photographer.  

We went to the Tillamook Forestry Center today.  www.tillamookforestcenter.org  Took some pics, but haven't really looked at them.  But the light was too bright today for really good pics.  I love overcast days, gives the best light.  And early morn and late afternoon.  I really love the warm light you get in the afternoon.

Here are a couple from today!





Here's a couple from the Creamery's 100th anniv.  The company had two of these made for a Love the Loaf Tour.

The one after the bridge looke like it's around Cannon Beach??

[Cheesemaker]

That was taken on Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain, along Hwy 101.  Just about 10 minutes south of Cannon Beach.

The fog was blowing up the rock face and looked really cool.

I thought it looked familiar
