Valencia Oaks Movie Ranch
Transcript
0:02
today's adventure brings me just off the
0:02
freeway about five miles from Six Flags
0:05
Magic Mountain near Valencia
0:08
Stevenson Ranch California to be more
0:11
technical
0:13
on the coordinates
0:15
to Valencia the former Valencia Oaks
0:18
Movie Ranch which is right down this
0:21
hill
0:22
as the recording of this it is February
0:24
2nd 2023
0:28
a lot of movies Television Productions
0:32
commercials were filmed out here back in
0:34
the day
0:39
Night Rider
0:39
Murder She Wrote a team and a little
0:42
show that I've been watching a lot of
0:43
I've watched it my whole life but I've
0:45
really been getting back into it lately
0:46
Dukes of Hazard
0:49
right down
0:52
in these Hills
0:53
I'm gonna Traverse down there and see
0:55
what I can find see what's left
0:57
if anything
0:59
and show where Uncle Jesse's Farm was
1:01
The Boar's Nest was
1:04
and a couple other key points
1:07
from that classic television show
1:09
welcome everyone
1:10
out of the woo
1:12
there is a strong rumor or at least I
1:14
saw some stuff online which you never
1:16
you never could trust the internet
1:17
that a lot of this maybe all of this
1:20
will eventually become homes residential
1:22
areas possibly a shopping center condos
1:26
hotels things like that with progress
1:28
big cities Los Angeles Metropolis area
1:32
that way probably 10 miles or so it's
1:36
really kind of spreading out this way
1:37
even this whole area is kind of a vast
1:39
Treasure Trove of residents new
1:42
residents old residents and this since
1:44
it's not no longer used for filming or
1:46
anything I can just see that history
1:48
will be wiped away and I would imagine a
1:50
lot of the foundations from The Dukes of
1:53
Hazzard probably are gone
1:55
but I would imagine that a lot of the
1:57
trees are still there so hopefully I can
1:59
line up some ankles some screen grabs
2:01
things like that and see what I can find
2:03
if not I'll just have a nice stroll and
2:05
a very nice comfortable Pleasant
2:07
weather-wise Southern California diet
2:09
join me
2:11
shall you now before getting started I
2:13
want to give credit to two reference
2:15
points that I'm going to be using as far
2:17
as guide maps go now I kind of scoured a
2:19
lot of message boards
2:21
and things of the Past online so it's
2:24
really kind of hard to designate every
2:26
bit of information that I'm utilizing
2:28
but as far as guide maps go there was
2:31
one from 2006.
2:34
which is you know quite a few years ago
2:36
a guy by the name of Richard Cummings
2:39
Hazard historian
2:41
and he did a little guide map showing
2:44
some of the spots and then 10 years ago
2:46
or so there was a show called kibi and
2:49
friends k-i-b-b-e and friends and they
2:53
also clarified where some of these spots
2:55
will be and then a lot of other
2:57
information but those are the two key
2:58
guide Maps I'll be going off of and this
3:00
was kind of an impulsive Adventure I've
3:03
been staying near Universal Studios
3:04
which is about half hour from here with
3:06
traffic traffic was pretty lenient and
3:08
good today
3:09
and I thought you know what
3:11
I should I'm gonna regret if I come if I
3:14
didn't do this now even though I'm not a
3:16
thousand well it's not a thousand
3:18
there's no such thing as anything more
3:19
than 100 but I'm not 100 prepared
3:21
with lots of photos I have a few photos
3:24
but what if I was to return next time
3:26
I'm out here
3:27
and a lot of this is gone so I figured
3:29
I'd just do it now maybe I'll make a
3:30
return trip but
3:32
I wanted to check this out that's why
3:33
I'm just decided to do it
3:36
now a lot of this was used in many many
3:39
episodes the first six episodes from
3:41
season one was filmed in Covington
3:43
Georgia Conyers Georgia Covington
3:44
Georgia after that the show took off
3:47
became very popular they filmed the Town
3:49
Square it Warner Brothers
3:51
some other Southern California spots but
3:54
the majority of all the car chases jumps
3:57
things like that we're all out here at
4:00
this Ranch
4:02
from season
4:04
one episode seven and on
4:07
until the duration of the show lot
4:10
of General Lee's we're out here in fact
4:12
you can even see where some of the road
4:13
used to be
4:15
for certain Productions now a lot of us
4:17
gone
4:19
hasn't been repaired obviously they're
4:20
not utilizing it for anything out here
4:22
it's not even drivable
4:24
foreign
4:26
like a Jeep or something
4:36
according to one of those Maps I was
4:36
referencing earlier they used this for
4:38
one of the two spots for generally
4:40
storage and they use hundreds of cars
4:43
there was not just one generally in fact
4:44
if you watch a show anytime they'd ramp
4:47
over something crash into something it
4:49
was pretty much destroyed
4:51
it would be considered totaled
4:54
as a standard as far as insurance goes
4:56
and non-drivable so they have to get
4:58
another car so they just went through
4:59
countless different General release look
5:01
at this this Old Road here
5:07
I'm really excited to see exactly where
5:07
the boys Borge Nest was and Uncle Jesse
5:10
so those are my two two spots I'm really
5:11
keen on finding okay you just picture
5:13
the general driving through here
5:16
all these old pipes rusted out pipes
5:19
through here also
5:21
some old fencing back in here it's kind
5:23
of falling down
5:29
okay this is like a fork in the road
5:30
which on the maps
5:32
it's very prominent so should be pretty
5:34
close
5:35
to the Duke Farm now
5:45
in my mind I can't really match up exact
5:45
scenes
5:47
but this is just the image
5:49
I'm getting from that late 70s
5:51
early 80s show through here
5:54
Roscoe P Cole trying chasing the Dukes
5:56
down this road again looking at the map
5:58
right over here they said this is where
5:59
the cast trailers were so this is where
6:01
John Schneider would have been Tom Wopat
6:03
would have been
6:09
James Best
6:09
and everyone else
6:12
also something called a hazard phone
6:14
booth
6:15
possibly used in the show or maybe just
6:17
the phone booth that they could use
6:19
to call out from was over that where I
6:22
just pointed the camera I'm also looking
6:23
at satellite view on my phone just to
6:25
kind of get a bearing of where I'm
6:26
walking
6:27
and Uncle Jesse should have been in here
6:30
somewhere
6:32
they're telling what kind of creatures
6:35
of the wild they're out here too maybe I
6:37
should go back to that other more
6:40
Open Road
6:48
hmm
6:56
yeah I'm gonna go back to that other
6:56
route okay take a look over this
6:58
direction so slab of concrete over there
7:00
some sort of foundation
7:12
hiding over there in the shrubs after
7:12
closed scrutinization of where I'm
7:14
standing on the satellite view looking
7:17
at the little blue dot when you're
7:18
looking on the maps and all that and the
7:21
maps provided I found online
7:23
supposedly Uncle Jesse's and the Duke's
7:26
Farm
7:27
was right here however I know it was
7:29
moved a couple times so I don't know
7:31
what iteration or what generation I'm
7:34
not sure if I'm even using the right
7:35
word what timeline of the Duke's Farm
7:38
now of course the first six episodes in
7:39
Georgia the rest of them here on this
7:42
property
7:43
but one of them according to what I read
7:46
by multiple sources it was right here
7:48
there's not really any trees really to
7:49
match up though however so I'm going to
7:51
keep scouring
7:52
the countryside it's also very green out
7:55
here this is the greenest of seeing the
7:57
hillsides in Southern California in a
8:00
long time
8:01
usually it's just all kind of barren and
8:04
just dirt
8:07
it's not though it's very green Lush all
8:10
right this is not giving me a vote of
8:11
confidence
8:12
to be wandering around out here
8:15
oh my Lord
8:24
I mean it's daylight so it's probably a
8:24
little safer
8:25
well there's no telling what kind of
8:27
animals are out here
8:28
that thing was shredded
8:35
I did grab this stick but I feel like
8:35
it's not really durable enough probably
8:36
need to find
8:38
something a little more sturdy
8:41
just in case
8:43
going through some I see a lot of other
8:44
people like someone's rode their bikes
8:46
back here as a regular bike tracks
8:48
Footprints so I'm not the only one
8:51
who has Traverse back here
8:53
why you need like a mountain bike
8:55
to go through all this
8:58
and not get stuck on it you can have
8:59
like a 10 speed
9:01
bicycle with those skinny tires you
9:02
wouldn't make it through all this mud
9:10
all right immediately I had a lot of
9:10
different scenes pop into my head right
9:13
here now on the map this is called
9:14
repeat slide Corner because they slid
9:17
around this corner so many times
9:20
either chasing someone or being chased
9:23
by the law either Enos or Rosco P
9:26
Coltrane or Boss Hog or who knows who
9:28
else but just look at this
9:30
these are the same trees in here
9:33
the General Lee
9:35
I may see good in my mind because I've
9:37
seen this so many times I just don't
9:38
know which episodes
9:39
came right around here and went this way
9:42
repeatedly hence the name on those Maps
9:44
repeat slide corner
9:47
as soon as I turned this corner and saw
9:49
this I was like oh my gosh that looks so
9:51
familiar and now around this Bend I am
9:53
really confident
9:55
now that I'm seeing that Peak
9:57
that always went above the top of the
9:59
Boar's Nest that The Boar's Nest sat
10:02
right over there if there is a
10:04
foundation left I'm gonna be really
10:06
excited but I should be able to match up
10:07
some photos
10:09
of that little Peak there and where the
10:10
Boar's Nest was
10:12
below it what if you say
10:15
the name of the establishment three
10:16
times like Beetlejuice like I just did I
10:18
said Boar's Nest three times now I just
10:19
said it four if it'll appear that'd be
10:21
awesome just to give some perspective
10:23
here's one of the maps I'm looking at so
10:25
I walked in from that way and I'm kind
10:27
of going off of what
10:29
the research that they had done a lot of
10:31
people have done different research but
10:32
these are the two sites and stated
10:34
but right there where it says Boar's
10:36
Nest is right where another road
10:37
connects
10:38
there's a fly flying around my face you
10:41
see that right above the crossroads
10:43
there says board's Nest so I'm just
10:44
looking for that Crossroad
10:46
and that should be where it is aha
10:48
Crossroad right there this is that road
10:51
they always drove in on sometimes very
10:54
speedily through here
10:56
you'd see that off in the distance or
10:58
they'd be coming this way
10:59
or the way I walked in that way and they
11:02
pulled right up
11:04
to wet their whistle see Daisy who
11:07
worked here and also Boss Hogg's office
11:09
and Roscoe were also in there Daisy in a
11:13
roundabout way worked for Boss Hogg
11:14
because but she didn't she she wasn't
11:16
part of any of the shenanigans that went
11:18
on it was money laundering and stuff but
11:20
she served drinks at The Boar's Nest
11:23
which was right freaking here
11:26
look at this found this photo on another
11:28
site that talks about the history of the
11:30
ranch itself you can see the sign that
11:33
says Boar's Nest you can even see it
11:34
looks like Roscoe
11:36
with the sheriff cap on with the plant
11:38
it has the coach but look at the Peaks
11:40
right over here signifying that if I
11:43
look off to the left that those are the
11:45
same little hilly mountain peaks as
11:47
shown right there which means it was a
11:49
little farther up than where I'm
11:50
standing I don't know if I want to go
11:52
trouncing through all their shrubs
11:54
probably some snakes and
11:56
no telling what else creatures of the
11:57
wild in there but that's the same angle
12:00
looking off to the side
12:02
of where the bar would have been but if
12:04
I pan out you'll see kind of how far
12:06
back up before I'm zoomed in
12:13
now it could have been one of those
12:13
things just like the Duke's farm that
12:16
they might have moved it to other spots
12:17
as well but I'm pretty sure it probably
12:20
sat right here
12:22
kind of about in that area over there
12:26
even if the Duke's Farm was moved a
12:28
couple times I would imagine The Boar's
12:29
Nest probably sat right here
12:31
for all the episodes it's really tough
12:33
to match anything up I gotta be honest
12:39
but looking at more maps
12:39
this is known as the Gully
12:42
at The Boar's Nest used for many many
12:44
jumps
12:46
of all the different cars jumping over
12:48
this
12:49
and I would imagine these trees were
12:51
here even back then probably a lot
12:53
smaller very unique looking trees
12:55
through here over this little wash
12:58
that goes that way and then of course
13:00
the bar is right over there okay now I'm
13:03
a little confused so that crossroads
13:05
right over there
13:06
but I'm looking at this and this almost
13:08
looks like where it would be behind as
13:10
well now it could be over there where it
13:12
stated to be but it might does it I
13:15
don't know maybe 30 chance of it being
13:17
here 70 over there just based on kind of
13:20
being here now looking at it because
13:22
this road so the water tower the
13:25
the water tower that was in the show the
13:27
Hazard County Water Tower was over there
13:29
in between those two peaks like kind of
13:32
I guess I could use the stick to ward
13:34
off animals also uses a pointing stick
13:36
right there was the water tower and you
13:40
could see the edge of the Boar's Nest
13:42
here even though the other angle is
13:44
there of course they could have been
13:45
using a wider lens
13:47
the water tower was right there you see
13:50
them playing basketball and this
13:52
curvature of the street looks very
13:54
familiar too I'll kind of show you a
13:56
photo as well but notice the way this
13:59
Slants down and then that mountain range
14:00
goes up as shown so even pay close
14:03
attention past you know obviously past
14:05
the basketball goal and all that even
14:06
Boss Hogs down there shooting some hoops
14:09
there is that
14:11
I well I'll say iconic but notable water
14:14
tower there in the middle of the frame
14:15
and then over here is that slanted Road
14:18
and there's even power poles those might
14:21
even be the same power poles decades
14:23
later sitting here as shown here
14:26
which kind of leads me to believe that
14:28
maybe the Boar's Nest was right here and
14:31
not another
14:32
30 40 yards that way as pinpointed on
14:35
the map I don't know for certain either
14:36
way it was in here
14:39
I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill
14:41
more or less but in this area was where
14:44
it was I'm getting way too excited about
14:46
this I really am another group online
14:48
called The Dukes of Hazard County
14:51
posted this photo which is a screen grab
14:53
from one of the episodes
14:55
and you can kind of see the mountain
14:57
range behind but they could have been
14:59
pulled way back using a zoom lens which
15:01
means they'd have to go down that road
15:07
that Crossroad
15:07
because if you're standing where I am it
15:10
really doesn't give the same perspective
15:12
it kind of does but you have to go
15:15
way down this way I'm gonna walk down
15:16
there and try it yeah see that's tough
15:18
unless it was like that but the Peaks
15:21
don't match up precisely they kind of do
15:22
but they're a little more Jagged than
15:25
what I showed in that photo
15:26
which means maybe they moved it no
15:28
matter the course of the of the season
15:30
and well for many years maybe they
15:32
shifted it to a different spot
15:34
maybe it was here and maybe they moved
15:36
it more of these little gullies and
15:38
washes
15:39
they had a lot of jumps over
15:46
now I'm looking at it back more from
15:46
this angle I found another photo
15:49
that kind of the shows
15:51
an angle from like this and this kind of
15:53
does match up more looks like it was
15:54
right up against the base of the
15:56
mountain
15:58
off to the side so I really
16:00
guess I maybe should have to Traverse
16:02
through this
16:03
shrubs
16:05
but looking that way it does look the
16:07
same
16:09
but it was over there yeah I don't know
16:11
I'm not gonna do it
16:13
I'm pretty sure it's that let's say it's
16:15
all right take a look at this this is
16:17
from one of the episodes as the truck is
16:18
pulling out that water tower has been
16:20
removed you see this big tree you see
16:22
that cross street where they're heading
16:24
directly towards where I'm standing
16:26
right now even can see the bend in the
16:28
dirt road if I step back you can see how
16:30
it kind of turns obviously they're using
16:33
a zoomed in lens but there's that tree
16:35
and the
16:36
unmistakable Mountain curvation this
16:39
little road is something designated the
16:41
triangle they use this quite a bit as
16:43
well
16:44
some distinctive trees
16:49
I mean really
16:49
all of this was used just so many
16:51
different times from different angles
16:53
and just the slightest movement you know
16:55
standing here looks completely different
16:57
than it did when I was over there 30
16:59
yards
17:00
it's like a little Bridge up there too
17:02
interesting
17:10
there's a really great episode called
17:10
ghost of the General Lee I think it's in
17:11
the second season
17:13
where there's a it's like a it's like
17:15
almost like their their haunted episode
17:17
where the generally
17:19
they fooled Roscoe into believing that
17:21
it was
17:22
you know it was haunted
17:24
and I'm kind of getting some Vibes out
17:26
here I'm just expecting the ghost of the
17:28
General Lee
17:29
to ride up here
17:32
maybe think of that episode great
17:34
episode
17:36
oh
17:38
I'm using my pointing stick
17:41
now I have heard a lot a lot about this
17:44
or many years ago I had heard that the
17:47
bridge
17:48
from nothing but trouble Chevy Chase Dan
17:50
Aykroyd movie
17:51
was out here oh
17:54
This creepy tree
17:56
but I gotta be honest I'm a huge Chevy
17:58
Chase fan Fletch vacation Funny Farm
18:02
you know I love Chevy Chase
18:05
I've never seen
18:06
the particular movie there for whatever
18:08
reason it slipped past my radar nothing
18:10
but trouble I don't remember anything
18:12
about it I do know that Grim life
18:14
Collective came out here and did a whole
18:16
video on this
18:17
so you want to check that out
18:22
but yeah it's right next to the Dukes of
18:22
Hazzard spots
18:23
how freaking cool look at this bridge I
18:25
even think this bridge was using other
18:27
stuff as well yeah I probably should get
18:29
around to watching that movie I mean I
18:31
saw it when it came out but I remember
18:32
nothing about it nothing but trouble
18:35
this was the entrance into the
18:37
I guess the compound or the layer I
18:39
don't really know because I haven't seen
18:40
it
18:41
it's all rusted out so I'm gonna put an
18:43
American flag up there
18:46
oh yeah you can still see the mechanical
18:48
items on the bottom of it
18:56
pretty cool though right all the way out
18:56
here
18:57
sitting here empty
19:06
that's like a good reveal
19:06
pulling in that way with that creepy
19:07
tree right there
19:16
if you kind of look off of this bridge
19:16
this metal bridge that is
19:18
do not want to cut yourself on that so
19:20
anytime there was like a little Ravine
19:21
like this you can see where water would
19:23
go under this they always use these for
19:24
all their different jumps
19:26
including right through here too
19:30
that is quite the interesting tree where
19:32
am I pointing at right there
19:34
but the Boar's Nest
19:36
is right over there
19:38
right there Boar's Nest
19:41
creepy tree
19:43
Boar's Nest
19:46
creepy Bridge
19:49
unique looking tree
20:04
I want to get rid of the stick but I
20:04
feel like once I throw it over there and
20:06
the animal is going to come out and say
20:07
hello
20:10
now that I know all this is out here
20:12
just sitting here
20:14
when I finally get back out I have
20:17
still gonna be gone I'm leaving
20:18
California soon but going to elsewhere
20:21
across the U.S when I finally get back
20:24
to Florida throw my
20:25
Duke's DVDs on about the
20:28
complete box set all the seasons last
20:31
time I was in Gatlinburg
20:37
and I might do a really in-depth piece
20:37
at one point and Warner Brothers and
20:38
then out here
20:40
might do like an expansive piece one day
20:41
in my life as long as it doesn't turn
20:43
into condos and
20:44
Apartments
20:46
if anyone feels like matching anything
20:48
up
20:50
that would be awesome
20:52
I have an Instagram Adam the woo atw on
20:55
Instagram I have a Facebook page too
20:57
backslash The Daily woo
21:04
any Duke aficionados out there
21:04
and the reason I'm just kind of over
21:05
filming because I know a lot of this can
21:08
be seen
21:09
so I feel like what I'm showing
21:11
you know for any nerd
21:13
like me of the show
21:15
probably wants to see this in great
21:16
detail because not everyone's been out
21:18
here to see this
21:24
this landscape
21:29
on the ground here oh the birds flying
21:32
up so this is a little deeper into what
21:34
they call the triangle where they would
21:36
drive up and around
21:38
this Ravine used for many many jumps
21:41
and then obviously I've shown what's
21:43
over there many times
21:45
the bridge over that way
21:51
I'm going to consort the map and just
21:51
see if anything is pinpointed right in
21:53
here for research purposes where I'm
21:55
standing was used in Cooter's
21:57
confessional that episode The Triangle
22:00
there used to be some train tracks
22:01
through here too I can't find the train
22:02
tracks and right over by that bridge I
22:05
was pointing out
22:06
was the Eubanks poster jump using many
22:09
many jumps
22:11
over there near that bridge in that
22:12
Ravine I'm gonna zoom in on that bridge
22:14
now up there in between the split in the
22:29
thrown over with grass
22:29
I wonder what that was for Consulting
22:30
those Maps again
22:32
if you could follow us up from where the
22:35
a straight road was used for many
22:37
different jumps as well
22:39
countless there's really too many to
22:41
name
22:43
but then also the welcome back bow and
22:45
Luke episode
22:47
there was a crash scene
22:49
right in this area
22:51
as well I really wish there was more
22:53
trees at the Duke's Farm
22:55
that was more recognizable
22:58
I'm gonna walk back over there just to
23:00
see maybe if I missed something I mean I
23:02
gotta exit out that way anyway
23:05
some people use these for dirt bike
23:06
trails and stuff too
23:14
well think about Bo and Luke and koi
23:14
Advanced too for a short short time
23:16
frame they were just the good old boys
23:19
they were never ever never we needed no
23:22
harm even though they were always in
23:24
trouble with the losses today they were
23:25
they were born which I always take that
23:27
to me once they were out of the womb
23:29
they were really trying to rile up some
23:31
trouble
23:32
making their way
23:34
any way they know how but
23:37
that sometimes is just a little bit more
23:40
the law will allow
23:43
even though the law
23:45
was more crooked
23:47
than the honest Dukes I always loved
23:49
Uncle Jesse too
23:51
no not Uncle Jesse from Full House
23:54
that's not my Uncle Jesse
23:57
you know what I'm talking about found
23:58
another article online designating this
24:00
place was also the Valencia Oaks
24:03
but it was also known as lions Canyon
24:08
l-y-o-n-s Canyons Ranch and the article
24:11
I'm reading says slated to become yet
24:13
another Housing Development
24:15
the ranch was used by films and shows of
24:18
course Dukes I mentioned a team Jake and
24:20
the fat man tell us from the Crypt
24:21
Knight Rider and known at the time as I
24:26
stated Valencia Oaks Movie Ranch it was
24:29
owned by Time Warner the successor to
24:32
Warner Brothers according to the article
24:37
yeah you can't always believe 100
24:37
everything that's online so it was good
24:39
to just show up and see things on your
24:40
own accord look at that that is an
24:42
awesome view it's also a good sign I
24:43
stumbled upon I don't want to stumble
24:45
upon these rocks you could really hurt
24:46
yourself called Hazard net
24:49
this is a treasure Trove of info
24:51
on the web
24:55
it's kind of you know when it comes to
24:55
even any kind of filming locations or
24:57
just anything in general pop culture
24:59
stuff it's always good but everybody
25:00
just kind of helps each other
25:03
and I hope I'd be showing this that
25:05
someone else's that is into the subject
25:07
matter which I know there's a lot we'll
25:10
figure things out that I didn't know
25:12
and kind of everybody just kind of feeds
25:13
off each other
25:15
that's one of the positive things about
25:16
the interwebs
25:22
there's a power pole right there too
25:22
probably no electricity out of it
25:38
this is that turn I showed earlier where
25:38
countless times that would go by
25:41
cars would go by here being chased and
25:42
somewhere up here
25:44
I don't have any internet signal out
25:45
here too kind of a
25:47
no signal zone out here so I'm kind of
25:49
on my own
25:50
I did like
25:52
have some stuff on my phone already that
25:53
I've been looking at but
25:55
cannot search anything online try to
25:58
figure out exactly but according to
26:00
those Maps I showed had taught up my
26:02
phone
26:03
right in here or over here was where the
26:05
water tower was
26:07
we're somewhere in here
26:13
maybe right here on this hill
26:13
consider me you're interactive on the
26:16
scene map
26:18
generic Corner Lulu's gone away the
26:20
episode is and then also the mine shaft
26:28
was right over where I'm going to point
26:28
the camera right around this bin so it
26:30
was kind of up on that little incline
26:32
see the sun starting to set up probably
26:33
I want to start getting back to the car
26:35
before the sun sets
26:38
I don't need any
26:39
coyotes or anything
26:41
saying hi once it gets once the shroud
26:44
of Nightfall
26:45
starts to happen here's another power
26:47
pole here
26:48
I really hope this doesn't get all
26:50
torn out I mean not that there's really
26:52
anything here but
26:58
I can't really do a deep dive all the
26:58
pain not just Dukes but all those other
27:00
spots that were taken out here come out
27:02
here I could print off a bunch of stuff
27:04
return out here at a later date
27:06
really kind of showcase this place
27:08
properly
27:09
but I had to check in on it while I was
27:12
and I have found
27:14
where the Boar's Nest is and I'm gonna
27:15
go do one more little look up here where
27:17
Uncle Jesse's Dukes Farm was I also know
27:20
if you've never seen the show
27:22
anyone watching this is gonna go why am
27:25
I sitting here watching Adam walk around
27:27
a bunch of nothing looking at a bunch of
27:28
empty Terrain
27:30
Southern California
27:32
which is fine I appreciate that
27:33
appreciate it I thought there was an
27:35
animal I keep looking at my shoulder
27:36
thinking of the Coyote's coming up to me
27:39
but if you are a fan of the series
27:42
might be losing your mind right now
27:44
just knowing this area
27:46
that's kind of sometimes I like to throw
27:48
things into the mix like that where it's
27:50
like oh dang I know that spot that's how
27:53
I feel right now even though I can't
27:55
physically pinpoint and show every
27:58
single angle and what it was back then
28:00
it all looks familiar and you can see
28:03
the interstate is right over there not
28:05
just right off the right off the
28:06
interstate near Six Flags five miles
28:08
from Six Flags looking at the Blue Dot
28:10
so I should be right at the entrance of
28:12
Uncle Jesse's the dirt road there's not
28:15
much left of it but
28:17
I walked in this way
28:24
so I passed that over there's also that
28:24
skeleton
28:25
and this was the one row that was kind
28:27
of showing up on the map so you got
28:29
this one road this goes around and in
28:32
the circle where these two meet this and
28:35
this Uncle Jesse should be right here or
28:39
would have been right there as shown
28:41
here so right there a little fork in the
28:43
road
28:44
Uncle Jesse's Farm was right in the
28:47
middle of this and I feel like the
28:49
freeway is so busy now that they
28:51
wouldn't even be able to film that show
28:52
out here anymore it's the audio
28:54
would be such a problem
28:57
because the interstate's going over
28:58
there all that busy traffic I just heard
29:00
a siren go by
29:02
that would be
29:03
I would wreak havoc
29:05
on good audio for a show there are a
29:07
couple photos of The Farmhouse you can
29:09
see the mountains over the top and
29:10
there's these kind of unique trees over
29:12
there next to Uncle Jesse's truck
29:15
there's also this photo of the of Daisy
29:18
standing next to the barn that was next
29:19
to the house and a very unique tree as
29:22
those trees look to have been uprooted
29:24
there was also a power pole over her
29:27
shoulder could it be any of these three
29:31
but it also the camera could have been
29:33
this way but all of those trees
29:41
I do recall watching the show a lot of
29:41
times they'd be at the farm and they
29:43
would be looking off in the distance
29:44
probably
29:46
that way or maybe that way or maybe even
29:50
this way you'd always have Roscoe kind
29:52
of driving in it's long and I always
29:54
wondered it's like he's coming out of a
29:55
very bumpy road it's like their driveway
29:57
was not was very bumpy
30:01
probably to
30:02
to keep the law off their property makes
30:04
sense definitely some animal tracks
30:06
right there
30:08
it's an old power pole that's charred
30:10
and burned
30:11
on Uncle Jesse's property oh oh
30:23
Duke's a hazard screaming use screen use
30:23
prop
30:24
Uncle Jesse's Barn
30:27
I love it
30:29
all right
30:31
it's getting good I mean that might be
30:32
the only thing I found but yeah got
30:34
another board right here a little stick
30:36
on it a little well the stick is from my
30:38
my own hand but that's why there's a
30:40
stick on it but there's a rock over
30:42
there
30:43
all right found two little relics
30:49
I do love all these power poles I wonder
30:49
how long these power poles about and
30:51
here's another little item down here too
30:57
a little stick there
31:01
I'll show that Foundation there
31:22
box on this one
31:33
all charred and burned the bottom of
31:33
that pole
31:38
metal power box and there's even still a
31:38
wire
31:40
right up there
31:42
and then even one that goes across up
31:44
there going all the way over
31:46
through the trees
31:48
and then ending at that other power pole
31:51
down there
31:54
right there you look over here
31:56
there's another
31:59
that looks like a fence post
32:01
right there on the ground of that stick
32:02
just broken there's a metal post there
32:05
you know any of this could have been
32:06
some shows here's even a concrete slab
32:09
with another fence metal fence post
32:12
probably shouldn't be walking through
32:13
the shrubs but yeah
32:16
I'm making my way out now this
32:18
Arrow points to USA which would be where
32:21
Jesse's spot would have been Duke's Farm
32:24
but also that might be pointing because
32:26
you know like a mile hike that way where
32:28
I just was was the flag on that bridge
32:33
maybe that's why that says USA
32:36
extremely grown over
32:38
no mowing going on out here
32:42
no real reason to
32:50
wait for like a Jackalope to run out of
32:50
here Dave Coulier voiced jackalope
32:52
startling me
32:55
totally unrelated to the rest of the
32:57
subject matter that Sun is setting one
32:58
thing I really love about you know
33:00
Hollywood in general Los Angeles and all
33:02
that because all these shows you would
33:04
never ever assume were filmed in L.A
33:07
yeah you think Dukes of Hazzard Georgia
33:09
you think Andy Griffith North Carolina
33:10
you would think Star Trek in outer space
33:13
things like that but they really it's
33:16
part of the illusion
33:18
but yeah most of it in that era
33:22
was all out here
33:24
very beautiful landscape I could see why
33:26
they chose this area
33:27
also as I stated earlier very green out
33:31
that's going to do it for today thanks
33:33
for watching the Sun is setting I would
33:34
say another probably 30 minutes It'll be
33:37
tipping down over the side of the
33:38
mountains I do not want to be out here
33:39
after Dark
33:41
probably not a wise choice I'm glad I
33:43
did this
33:44
I've always been kind of curious if
33:46
anything was left out here there's not a
33:47
whole heck of a lot but I was able to
33:49
figure out a few things thanks to some
33:51
help from the interwebs
33:53
maybe I'll return out here again if they
33:55
do not turn all this into condos I hope
33:56
not because look at this landscape I've
33:58
also disregarded the stick I had
34:01
so if I get
34:03
jumped by something on the way out
34:06
I think I'll be fine
34:08
I'll see you in the next video
34:11
the Vlog It's Magic hour
34:14
I've been saying that a lot lately
34:16
I love filming locations I really do
34:19
especially from that that old-timey era
34:22
well not not too old-timey but 70s 80s I
34:26
love them so much I'll see you in the
34:28
next video thanks for watching I
34:30
appreciate it the Vlog
