You never know who you might see in Metropolis, Illinois!

Some of the best parts of our Nomadic life is being able to stop and enjoy some of the greatest places in America! Like Metropolis Illinois. I hadn’t been here since shooting US Marshals and I’m so glad we got back. Tammy Ann Roebuck and I had a super time. by the way, there was no street lamp above us. I do not know what that shaft of light is from maybe God was happy we stopped too.

Hey Goonies! 🏴‍☠️✨
​"HEYYY YOU GUYYYS!" 🗣️
​Look who just rolled into town! Sloth has taken up residence right here inside the gift shop, and he’s ready to greet every hero, pirate, and adventurer who walks through our doors! 🍫❤️
​Here’s a fun little secret for our fellow film buffs: did you know The Goonies and Superman: The Movie share the exact same legendary director? The master storyteller Richard Donner brought us the Man of Steel back in 1978, and then turned right around in 1985 to give us the ultimate iconic crew of misfits! 🎥🦸‍♂️🏴‍☠️
​So whether you're searching for Kryptonite or One-Eyed Willy's hidden treasure, Metropolis is the place to be this weekend!
​✨ Come snap a photo with our life-sized animatronic Sloth!
