Montana or Oregon?

Yachats huh? Yeah, that's pretty far from where Drewan is, and the Redwoods and Crater Lake are. I, on the other hand, will be driving directly through there at some point. As it stands now, I will basically have August 14-16 to spend on the Oregon Coast, or wherever in that general area. That's Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

OK. On the Avatar front, assuming the re-release happens before those dates, the closest theater is in Newport, pretty close at around 20 miles. The closest 3D capable theater appears to be in Corvalis, which is 76 miles away. Considering I'm driving well over 10,000 miles on this roadtrip, that's nothing to me.

If you can get away for a couple days, the main parts of the Redwood Parks area is about 200 miles south of Yachats, a somewhat slow but dramatic coastline drive of probably 4 hours. Getting to Eagle Point, where Drewan is, would be roughly the same distance and time, with another hour or so to Crater Lake. My vote for someplace to be outdoors would have to go with the Redwoods. Crater Lake is one of the heartstoppingly dramatic beauties in the world, but once that is done, the park does not have much in the way of trails or hiking. The best parts of Redwood, on the other hand, are pretty much Pandora without the bioluminescence and thanators

I don't know if Drewan could feasibly do a Redwood visit if it was on the weekend? Crescent City, the main town in the area, has a theater, but I doubt there is 3D. He has already said that Medford has a 3D theater, so if we met in his area Avatar would not be a problem. And there is plenty of great forest and waterfall scenery in his area, its just not quite the Redwoods

Then again, if the re-release is not out, then none of that theater stuff matters and we have to figure out how to watch Avatar somewhere. Anyway, that's enough for this post I think...
