Vasquez Rocks?

Anyone ever heard of this place, been there or ridden MUni there?
Apparently it's famous not only for it's magnificent landscape, but for
the many films and TV shows that have been made using this location,
from the classic 1931 Dracula, to the yet to be released newest Star
Trek movie, out in 2009. It's located in SoCal near Sana Clarita. I've
been told about it several times from mtb-ers and so I thought I would
go there this week and check it out! So if anyone's ever been there,
and/or knows about it, please let me know!

Very famous rocks.
I know them best from Army Of Darkness and Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.
The nice thing about B&TBJ is that earlier in the film they are
watching TV and the Star Trek episode featuring Kirk and the same rock
is on.

man, i'm such a geek.

Yep, here's a Kirk & The "Gorn" at Vasquez! I'll try to get a shot in
front of the same rock for comparison!

This is funny. They're actually going to go film there again for a new
Star Trek movie? Hopefully they know by now how iconic that rock is. I'm
sure they'll either set it up as being the same planet, or not use that
rock from the same angle. After Bill & Ted were killed there, how can we
take that place seriously?

Anyway, when you go, don't forget to play the Star Trek music that
accompanies that scene, both in the "Arena" episode of Star Trek and in
Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.
