Jenny A boat named Jenny
The hurricane was filmed on the port of Port Royal. Some of the shrimp boat scenes and also (Jenny) the boat were from Golden Fish Dock, which is still operated by a family on St Helena Island. Gay fish company on Hunters Island was also used in some scenes.
Who gave us this tidbit of information. 'The shrimp boat was eventually sold to one of the worlds in Florida. It is called the tide runner by documentation.' Thanks Steve We recently had an e-mail from Barry Melton from Decatur, IN. Barry tells us 'The shrimp boat "Jenny" belonged to a local shrimper named Jim Stanley. The boat's real name was actually called the "Miss Sherri". In the movie, when Forrest first gets the boat and the bow of the boat cruises past your tv screen up-close, you'll notice the area where most boats are named is blank. If you pause it and frame advance through that portion, you can make out the name "Miss Sherri". Stanley sold the boat to Planet Hollywood after the movie. It was cut into 2 pieces, and used for display at these restaurants (not sure exactly which Plant Hollywoods).' Thanks Barry for the tidbits of information.
Thinking about Jenny While Forrest is painting Jenny's name on the boat he thinks of her and what she is doing in her life? She's at a night club doing dope.
The above scenes were filmed at Ambassador Hotel - 3400 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California

The dock is located on the far right in this picture on Ladys Island. Thanks Barry for the information and photographs. Karsten Gore from Germany contacted us and told us "NICE WEBSITE! Respect, I was looking for something like this for ages (website on Forrest Gump Filming Locations. I searched your Forrest Gump Entry and used Googles Street View to travel around Ladys Island.

Forrest goes on a run "That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road, and when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County. And I figured since I run this far, maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama. And that's what I did I ran clear across Alabama."
The location of the scene (upper left) we found by accident really and to be honest I could not even tell you how to get there. The scene in the upper right is the exit from the Chowan Creek Bridge between Lady?s Island and St. Helena.
"For no particular reason, I just kept on going. I ran clear to the ocean."
The above was filmed at Santa Monica Yacht Harbor and Pier, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California. Thanks to György Fábri who sent us these photographs below.
Greenbow Alabama Thanks to György Fábri who also sent in the photographs below. As you can see in the right photo the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, is a well established resturant chain.
ore running And when I got there, I figured since I'd gone this far, I might as well turn around, just keep on, I figured since I've gone this far, I might as well just turn back, keep right on going going. When I got to another ocean.

"I've actually driven a few hours away from my place so I could find the Lighthouse in the Movie Forrest Gump. Do you remember when he starts his running journey, there is a place where he gets to a Lighthouse and turns around, well I was there just yesterday (August 29th 2010). I couldn't wait sending you the picture." "The photograph below left is a picture of my dad, wearing his Bubba Gump Shrimp t-shirt. Below right is me holding a picture of the movie scene."

Thanks to Kyle, who has been doing some detective work himself and found this great site'click here to visit their website' According to the website Forrest Gump jogged through Montana on his trek across the United States and back. Two scenes shot in Montana appear in the movie. Both were filmed in northwestern Montana in or near Glacier National Park. The golden wheatfields that appear briefly on screen are near Cut Bank, Montana. In another scene, Forrest runs across a stone bridge, with jagged snow-covered mountain peaks in the background. This scene was filmed at the St. Mary Entrance to Glacier National Park. The famous Going-To-The-Sun Road, which crosses Glacier Park, runs from St. Mary on the east side to Apgar Village (where scenes from Beethoven's 2nd were filmed) on the west side. Additional footage, shot along Going-To-The-Sun Road, ended up on the cutting room floor. Jim Hanks, Tom Hanks' real-life brother, doubled as Forrest Gump for the scenes shot in Montana |

We recently had an e-mail from Jennifer who lives in Hickory, NC. 'I think the scene where he is running with the wooden fence on either side looks like the Blue Ridge Parkway close to Julian Price Park outside of Blowing Rock, NC. It is not far from Grandfather mountain where the curve scene was filmed.

Thanks to Kay Hale and Caitlin Halpert who both told us where the above was filmed "Kay Hale" told us 'It's clearly the Jenne Farm, which is just outside Woodstock, Vermont. It is one of the most photographed farms in the United States. If you were in Woodstock, Vermont, people could describe how to get there. As I remember, it is about 10 miles out of town.' Caitlin tells us 'it's in South Reading Vermont'.

Thanks to Andrew Rhodes from Cincinnati Ohio, who contacted us to say 'The cafe scene where Jenny worked was shot in a cafe in Savannah, GA in the historic downtown area. I was in Savannah last February and the owners showed me the mural that the director had painted on the wall for the shot. The mural is still there, and it's located directly around the corner from a Panera bread, although I cannot remember the address of name. It had just changed owners. One sister had it and then another one took it over. The staff are amazing and friendly!' Thanks Andrew for the information.

Running to the end's of the earth Forrest: (voice-over) Anyway, like I was saying, I had a lot of company. My Momma always said you got to put the past behind you before you can move on. And I think that's what my running was all about. I had run for three years, two months, fourteen days, and sixteen hours.

On my first backpacking trip to America, I was taken to where the above Forrest Gump scene were located in Utah. The above photo's were taken on the 16th October 1997 How to get there:- Approaching from the south (the Arizona route), drive to Flagstaff, and then take highway 89 north until you reach highway 160. Take 160 east to Kayenta, and then take 163 north. Follow this highway until you reach mile marker 16 in Utah. Approaching from the north (the Utah route), take highway 70 to Brendel, and then take highway 191 south to Bluff. From there, take highway 163 south to mile marker 16 in Utah. Pull your car over to the side of the road and behold Monument Valley. You will see the buttes and mesas that create the backdrop where Forrest decided to stop running.
