Description:
Meeting Location: Springfield Target at 2750 Gateway St., Springfield, OR. We'll meet in the Target parking lot on the east side of the store near Buffalo Wild Wings. I have a grey minivan.
Join me on a walk through historic Brownsville, founded in 1853 (6 years before statehood) and where the movie Stand By Me was filmed. We’ll walk mostly on sidewalks about 6 miles past historical sites and up to a viewpoint at the cemetery. After the walk we’ll stop at a coffee shop for a snack. If we have time, we’ll stop at Living Rock Studio, a most curious place.
My plan is to get home by 3:00, plenty of time for the 6:30 potluck at the lodge. I suggest watching Stand By Me movie before the walk as we'll pass a few of the filming locations.
