Goonies Never Say Die!
We decided to take an organic road trip this weekend, to drive and end up where we end up. So, we drove towards the coast (Washington State coast) and first stopped on Raymond, a small town in south west Washington — the place where Nirvana played their very first gig. It is a small town with quaint little buildings and an interesting history. We saw the historic post office, a nice little tree based playground and I had to see the library, of course.
The US Post Office--Raymond Main was listed on 1991-05-30 and is located in Pacific county
Next stop… Astoria Oregon… where the movie Goonies was filmed… and parts of Kindergarten Cop, Free Willy 2 and The Ring 2. We also went to Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach Oregon (where the rocks and lighthouse from Goonies are located), and ended our trip in Tillamook, Oregon (where they make the best cheese) before returning home! Here, let my pictures tell the story.
