I'd love to see a brawl between that beast and [this one](http://harzer-bike-schmiede.de/panzerbike.html).

The buffalo wings at [Russian River Pub](http://www.yelp.com/biz/russian-river-pub-forestville#hrid:Ewe3P5D5XvuJmfiDDgEt1g) are worth a visit. Best thing after a day of diving in Jenner. Man, I really need to get up that way more often!

Good addition, and thanks for adding it in. I'm more into the really hoppy/resiny IPAs that the other guys put out (anxiously waiting on the next batch of [White Knuckle](http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/812/2749)), so those are the guys that stick out in my mind... though having said that, I actually **do** have one bottle of Old Rasputin left in my fridge at the moment. Great... now I'm counting minutes until I can get home to finish it off.

Looks like you'll be passing through Fort Bragg... maybe you'd enjoy checking out [Glass Beach](http://www.google.com/images?q=Fort%20Bragg%20Glass%20Beach&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi) while there?

If you're into beer, there are some good breweries along your route as well. Enjoy!

Nevermind... [I found it](http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/cdl57/oh_its_just_a_leafwait/), and will delete my submission. I normally don't browse with thumbnails on, and the other submission's title "Oh, it's just a leaf" didn't entice me, nor did it show up when I searched for dupes. I had to turn thumbnails on, and browse through again. Either way, thanks for the heads-up.

numlok on 4 years prior to Pixar's "Up", a group of students made this animated film.

Here is a [related link](http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com/blog3/?p=4031) that gives more background. In short, none of those directly involved in the project became involved with Pixar in any way. >...writing for Up started in 2004, well before this was released. "Above then Beyond" was released in 2005, and was likely written and in pre-production much earlier than that as well.

The year 1994: From out of space comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the Moon, unleashing cosmic destruction. Man's civilization is cast in ruin. Two thousand years later, Earth is reborn... A strange new world rises from the old: a world of savagery, super science, and sorcery. But one man bursts his bonds to fight for justice! With his companions Ookla the Mok and Princess Ariel, he pits his strength, his courage, and his fabulous Sunsword against the forces of evil.
