A very famous spot 60 miles from home we have long planned to visit
There's not much out here to see, which is exactly why it was chosen
It's a crossroads in Texas in the middle of nowhere
A world famous actor once stood here trying to decide
Which road he should turn down
The Hubster never saw a redhead in a red truck
If he had, she might have told him the same she told Tom Hanks (Chuck Noland) "Well, that's 83 South. And this road here will hook you up with I-40 East. If you turn right, that'll take you to Amarillo, Flagstaff, California. And if you head back that direction, you'll find a whole lot of nothing all the way to Canada" 
It really is as totally silent as it is in Castaway. We went to stand where Tom stood and to pickup the Geocache hidden there, it was a fun trip!

ReplyDeleteLove it. Now though I want to see that film again
ReplyDeleteForgot all about that film--loved the film and what a great idea for a post. Wish we did the geocaching thing as much as you all do!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! So how many others have signed in to say they've found the geocache?
ReplyDeleteCool post, I loved it!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a geocache on the way to nowhere. I hope it was a prettey drive.
ReplyDeleteI didn't recognise it, but then that's because I haven't seen the movie - will have to rectify that. Great shots and a great story about your world.
ReplyDeleteWOW!, beautiful place and nice photographs, love the sign board shot

ReplyDeleteVery interesting post.
ReplyDeleteI dont know why, but when I saw the title of your post appear on my blog list I knew, just knew, what I would be seeing when you photos loaded .. I loved that movie, and that scene ... in fact I knew at the beginning of the movie when we saw the address on the package that was where he would end up .. sometimes I just know things .. honest.
ReplyDeleteWay Cool! What an awesome outing. I love the pictures - the sense of space is just phenomenal
ReplyDeleteI did recognize the shot.
ReplyDeleteMark and I drove down the road at Monument Valley, Utah and recognized the spot in Forrest Gump where he stopped running and headed back home. How fun that you found another such location a la Tom Hanks!

Ooooh! This is so cool! Ooops! That's what Yogi said, but it is! I loved that movie and I actually recognized that spot from your photo. How cool! Really cool!
ReplyDeleteThat WOULD be a fun trip. I love that movie.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that interesting tidbit!
ReplyDeleteThis was such fun, I am going to have to google OK movie locations and see what else is around here. The Hubster thinks True Grit got pretty closeby!
ReplyDeleteGlad you all enjoyed it too.
I recognized it the minute I scrolled to the first picture....I didn't even have to scroll to the picture of Tom Hanks, but I have ALWAYS wanted to know what was in that Fedex box!!!!
