    I have been trying to locate the exact weir on google maps that jeremy drove the hovervan over on the river Avon. There are several weirs that i have found, but i cannot pinpoint it. On the show, you can clearly see large electrical lines in the field nearby. James also says "did you go left!!" And jeremy says no i went right! So i know the weir is where there is a split in the river. I have already located the restaurant where they blew the tables around, and the witter locks they went through. Also, they ruined the hovervan at the weir, so the weir should be downstream of the locks. I like having fun exploring maps and finding the actual locations of things. Can anybody chime in/relate?

    I found the house that was by the river in Benny and Joon once. It's in Spokane I think. Also looked up a bunch of Goonies places.

    I have not. Ive only been scouting locations 2 weeks or so. I have only looked at the hovervan locations (the restaurant they tried parking at, the locks where richard got hosed while on the ladder) and also the bolivian death road where jeremy was literally teetering on the edge.
