Near the main gate looking North towards the barracks.

It appears that it was indeed where they shot that movie: Fort Worden State Park - 200 Battery Way, Port Townsend, Washington, USA

I've just checked this place out on GOOGLE EARTH, its quite a big place judjing by the sat image....http://earth.google.com/ to down load free! Once you have GOOGLE EARTH just type in Fort Worden in the search box and it takes you there! Its a brilliant tool for the curious, have fun with it. Gives locations of all u.s. subs and locations of their demise at the hands of japs..also check out Pearl Harbor and many other places of interest.

[Nikademus]

Yes, Worden is pretty big....I think Fort Flaggler (#2 fort in the Triangle of Death) might be even bigger. We couldn't cover all of it during our first day trip.

What happened to your yellow doggage's nose? The cat?

[Speedysteve]

Nik's brain probably got confused betwene it and a cat and due to a reflex action punted it in the doggy head

not the cat....the Big black Dog.....he used to be an only child and initially took exception to the Yellow runt of a litter of six (found abandoned in a trash bag on the side of the road by the GF unit) Yellow dog got too close to black dog while he was eating. Scary puppy moment. They're buddies now...old creeky and Yellow dog of Annoyance. (also known as Trash can puppy)

[DuckofTindalos]

Aaah, the old Don't-Get-Too-Close-To-Dog-Whilst-Dog-Is-Eating-moment? Been there...

They get it settled quickly - unlike we humans.

That's because dogs learn. They don't continue to do the same thing over and over and over expecting different results. [8|]

[Nikademus]

unless trash cans are involved. [;)]

Not all dogs are the same. I swear, I grew up with an afghan hound that was the dumbest (but friendliest) thing to consume oxygen...

[DuckofTindalos]

Dogs are generally of less intelligence than cats. They make up for it by also being a lot less evil...

[Nikademus]

my GF's stupid cat is certainly an exception......dumb as a football (but more PUNTable!)

[DuckofTindalos]

In my experience, most cats aren't in fact as stupid as they seem; they just enjoy messing with our heads and making us think they're stupid. All the while we think we're safe and secure, whilst they watch us... and wait...
