Jim,

He was 1,200 pounds over the weight rating. Hence, down to steel. He got new trailer tires and put electric brakes on it after that scary trip.

You also don't keep 80% of your interior weight on one side of the trailer either.


:yes: That would wear one tire way more than the other.

Celebrating ‘The Goonies’ in Oregon

Goonies never say die. But they do enter their 30s.

Next month, Astoria, Ore., will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the cult classic with Goonies Day, a tribute to all things “Goonies” in the town where the adventure was set. It’s the third major gathering of Goonies fans and film veterans since 2005, when an Internet group rallied to bring the original cast members back to Astoria for the 20th anniversary.

“We were tickled to have all the fans in town and let people know that we have a lot of history here and that we’re also a great town to visit for film tourism and nostalgia,” the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce marketing manager Regina Willkie said of the original Goonies Day.

The event has since grown to accommodate about 15,000 fans, she said. In addition to at least four screenings of the film, Goonies Day — which actually spans four days, June 4 to 7 — will feature appearances by cast and crew members; behind-the-scenes lectures ($20); a group “truffle shuffle”; an ’80s convention; and a One-Eyed Willie-themed scavenger hunt presented by Geocaching.com that will take players on an interactive puzzle through the community.

Must-see locations in Astoria include the jail and Oregon Film Museum, Ms. Willkie said, though bus tours ($35) will bring visitors to more private locations, such as inside “Mikey’s House.”

In a Goonies-style plot twist (though this location is making way for a hospital), fans will have one last chance to see the field featured in the beginning of the film before it is redeveloped with a “Farewell to Warren Field” concert and party ($10).

Also planned is a two-hour “Sail with Sloth” cruise on the tall ship Lady Washington, joined by the cast members Randell Widner (“Sloth” stunt double) and Curt Hanson (“Elgin Perkins”), which will echo the voyage of One-Eyed Willie’s pirate ship in the film’s conclusion. Jeff Cohen (“Chunk”) will present a talk called “Growing Up Goonie” and sign autographs throughout the weekend.

The festivities continue in Cannon Beach, Ore., about 40 minutes south of Astoria and the backdrop of several coastal scenes from the film.

Patrick Lines, a retired Oregon State park ranger, will offer his take on working with the film crew ($5), and the community will also host a screening, beach bonfire and “Truffle Shuffle 5K” in honor of the occasion.

:M Takin' my 6-string banjo camping this season.

Not only does Taylor Swift play a 6-string banjo, but lo and behold! so does this fellow, known as "The Rock and Roll Governor" of Maryland:

Now he's got a Secret Service team around him, so no more street musician. :M
