Between Mount St. Helen's and Portland, heading south on I-5, lies the small town of Kalama, Washington. If I hadn't read it in a tourist brochure, I would not have learned that Kalama is the site of the famous high school used in filming the movie Twilight. Upon entering the town, I expected more fanfare about the movie; after all, it must have been the most exciting thing to have happened in Kalama for quite some time, I'm sure. The town is actually quite picturesque, as it rises steeply from the highway; the school is located at the top of a hill and there is a nice view of the surrounding area from up there. The only evidence that there had been a movie filmed there was a small plastic container with maps of the school grounds for those interested in taking the "Twilight tour". The photo shows the famous parking lot where Bella almost crashed her truck, and Edward saved her.
