Man, this place is great.
Yep. Ocean beaches, mountains, water falls, river gorges, high desert, all within a few hours drive.
Some good beer and eats too.
Awesome pictures. Enjoy!
My favorite part of the country.
Go to the air museum just south of there if only to see the WWII blimp hangers.
Why do you think I live here? 
That looks like the beach from the final scene in The Goonies
I was there yesterday!
Because of the warrants in 32 other states?
That, and the cannabis.
That might actually be it. Is that Haystack Rock?
Yeah
Well I guess I did remember a thing or two from the 80’s. I was wrong on which scene, but it was there. Thanks erockrph!
Haystack Rock can be seen in the opening scene of The Goonies, when the Fratellis are fleeing from the police and then enter a race on the beach. It can be seen in the background. Later in the film you can see the Haystack Rock again when Mikey is pointing out some rocks in the distance.
Because at your age (really close to mine) it would be too big of a change to move?
