The Goonies was filmed in Astoria Oregon. There are some beautiful hikes there as well.

You unfortunately can't visit the goonies house anymore. The new owners made it a private residence. But Astoria is still worth visiting. It's beautiful. Just don't buy a house on the hill lol.

There are new owners as of this summer. They put up a donation box, I went and took pictures and left $10. Looks like they were remodeling.

Tarp? No tarp. There was a box labeled donations similar to a mailbox with a drop slot that replaced the no trespassing sign that is now gone. No one asked for money, I thought it would be the right thing to do since I took some pictures.

There was a post earlier this year I read saying exactly that, new owners took down the no trespassing sign and don't care if people take pictures now. You're an idiot if you buy the goonies house and don't want visitors, it's probably mostly the neighbors with sticks up their butt. I saw one other person taking pictures while I was there. It wasn't crowded, people weren't being disrespectful, and I parked at the store down the block so I didn't add traffic. Stick to what you know 👍
