Next Will Smith Movie

Not a great pictur but gives you an idea of the commotion on a tiny road accessing the Rockfeller Founder's Grove at the Redwoods National Forest.   We had heard that this was a "must see" and tried at two access points to gain access!  Turns out a movie crew had cordoned off the whole area for the filming of a new Will Smith Movie!  The night before we'd tried to get accomodations in Eureka!  Eureka!   There was hardly a room to be found.   We settle for a VERY expensive room at a Best Western Plus (nothing plus about it!)  At breakfast the following day we read in the local paper that the production company was expected to spend over 1/2 million dollars in housing alone over the 8-10 days of filming!  The director of this film is N. Night Shyamalan of "The Sixth Sense"!   Anyone heard of him?  Eureka sure needs the business so good for them.   We did find a super restaurant highly rated by Wine Spectator and most enjoyable so that made up for the rest of our marginal Eureka visit.
