We checked out this 100+ year old shipwreck yesterday, it was pretty cool! We both have never been to it before, which is odd considering we both grew up in Oregon 
Only about 2 hours away from our house and a fun little trip! 
For anyone interested in the history of it:
"The Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast en route to the Columbia River. It was abandoned on Clatsop Spit near Fort Stevens in Warrenton about four miles (6 km) south of the Columbia River channel. Wreckage is still visible, making it a popular tourist attraction as one of the most accessible shipwrecks of the Graveyard of the Pacific. The ship was named after Peter Iredale, who not only owned the vessel as part of his shipping fleet, but was also a well-known figure in Liverpool, England, where his business was headquartered. The ship was built in Maryport in June 1890, by R. Ritson & Co Ltd for P. Iredale & Porter. It displaced 2,075 tons and measured 87 meters (285 ft) in length and was fashioned from steel plates on an iron frame."

Have you seen Goonies?
Of course I have!
Here's a pic of my first baby and I at the famous Haystack Rock
Kind of sad, the people that own the Goonies house closed it off to the public last year. I can understand why, it sounds like some people really ruined it for the owner

Oh, that sucks.
I was at Haystack Rock too. I really enjoyed that vacation, and really want to go back there:
