Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd ever see the Goonies house with my own two eyes. In fact, the thought never crossed my mind. But this month, I did just that.

As we approached the driveway of this surreal-yet-humble residence, a sign welcomed us, but also stated that we should be mindful of the home owner's privacy.

We wondered what it might be like to own a home, and have strangers creeping around taking pictures from time to time. We felt inclined to knock and ask, but remembered the sign's message. Blast.

Nearby is Cannon Beach, home to the famous Haystack Rock, and featured in the last segment of the film. Check out a picture of it by a good friend of mine here.
