TA TALKS BACK: GETTING TO FORKS
July 3rd, 2009
TA fan Ashley shares the details of her trip to Forks:
Forks. The very name screams rain, mythical beings, and love among the spruce trees. To twihard Twilighters, there is no greater mecca; one’s experience of the Twilight story, I daresay, is incomplete without visiting the otherwise inconsequential town on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state where the saga began. Having finished the novels for a second time, I decided in mid-January that Forks was my spring break destination of choice—though my mother took some convincing. Her visions of an exotic London vacation did not die without a fight, and it took some ingenuity on my part (I was not beyond scattering random Twilight paraphernalia creatively around the house) to assure her that it was either Forks or nothing for me. She at last agreed, God bless her, and began reading the series in preparation for our little pilgrimage.
I had originally intended to write a large exposition on our trip, complete with pointers, interesting facts, and experiences. It was when I reached the sixth page of type and realized I had only made it through 24 hours when I decided that that was a project for another time. So I decided instead to simply explain one aspect of the trip, a subject easily overlooked, yet absolutely essential in enjoying your Twilight in Forks experience: actually getting to Forks.
