The Ford Barn

I just learned that the spot I took this picture from on my Monument Valley trip (https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=99523) is called Forrest Gump Point because it is at that spot that Forrest Gump ended his cross country running in his movie. Apparently thought to be a pretty picturesque spot. Here's the movie clip ending at this point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgnJ8GpsBG8

Looks like the spot to me. Beautiful country out that way. Thanks for sharing.

Yep, great scene.

I have it sandblasted into a window on my route 66 themed humpy slide on.
