Okay, here comes another set report. Are you ladies sick of them yet??
I skipped out of work a little early (as did <b>Isabellaat50</b>, a.k.a Ruth) and made the drive up the canyon arriving a little after 6p. We didn't know if any cast was going to be there, but we thought it would still be cool to watch. The crew had several staging areas along the mountain road, but most of the action was taking place in a big parking lot/turnout. They had Bella's truck on a flatbed trailer with cameras mounted all around it so they could film interior shots while the truck was moving.
We hung out with a few other TwilightMOMS (Hi <b>CaliCat</b>, <b>SarahPat</b>, and <b>Sidekick</b>!) and TwilightTEENS who told us that Catherine had been over and promised to bring some cast over later. She was good on her word and soon was walking over with Peter, his daughter, and Nikki!
I have nothing but good things to say about them! They were so sweet and friendly. Nikki bounded right up and said, "Hi guys, I'm Nikki!" She wasn't even filming that night, she was just there to hang out with Kristen and see the last day of filming. Peter was amazing- he even took a picture of his daughter standing with the fans.
Someone asked Nikki is she would be able to get Kellan to come over. She said, "Sure, I'll go get my husband!" Not much later, she's hauling him over to us. Kellan looked out of this world with his makeup done and contacts in! It was a little startling, actually. He was so kind and genuine- taking pictures and signing books.
Nikki and Kellan hung out with out little group for quite a while- almost an hour, maybe. At one point, Nikki asked if we wanted to see pictures- she pulls out her personal camera and shows us pictures from up in Portland. There were some really cool closeups of her in her "Rosalie" make-up and black contacts. Someone had taken a picture of her running on the wire during the baseball scene (her baseball outfit was adorable!) and she had lots of candid shots of the cast hanging out.
We saw the truck hauling Bella's truck leave and drive up the mountain, so <b>Isabellaat50</b> and I jumped in my car and drove up to the other filming location. There was a turnout that we able to park in (we had cleared it with 2 Highway Patrol Officers and a crew member) and see a little of what was going on. We could see right inside the truck when they drove passed us, you could definetly get a sense of the tension and emotion present in that particular scene.
We had to leave around midnight. Both of us had work the next day. Looking back, I should have called out sick to work, slept in my car, and rationed the one power bar I had in my purse so I could have stayed all night and meet Rob!! Oh well, hindsight is always 20/20.
Here are my pictures!!!

It was such a fun night! Way beyond my expectations in every sense and the total icing on the cake that was my whole Twilight movie experience.
