I hope you and your wife are feeling better cousin Roger! Take a little sip....it'll do you good!.......just look what it's done for me!

Check out the Gateway Clipper website: https://www.gatewayclipper.com/ A basic 1-hour sightseeing cruise is $30, you can get luncheon on a 2-hour cruise for $47 upwards, while dinner cruises start at $52 and go up to $100 depending on the date, the food and the entertainment that's included. If you've got 39 friends, you can charter a boat for 2 hours for $1,000. Skipper, beware of the "New Year’s Eve Hors D’Ouevres Dance Cruise & Tour" - it appears to be a 3-hour tour.

Thief ( Remember when Boss stole the payroll?)

That sounds like a great souvenir from what will be a great trip!

Brilliant prequel. I'm loving it....and it stays true to the spirit of the original show. We're lucky to have you here on the greatest website on the internet.

10-4 Good Buddy. "To make a long story short" the basis is "Summer of 1977. The reason for that date is even though the dukes originally premiered in January 1979, it started filming in 1978. And in the pilot episode Waylon says the boys got caught last year. Which would be 1977 in my story haha. Boss and Uncle Jesse are still good friends but fading. Boss gets a huge contract deal to sell some shine to some high end buyers. But they are contemplating on going with Jesse because he makes the better shine. They only decided to go through Boss first because of familiarity. Boss devices a plan to make Jesse no longer the competition. Even if it means bad blood between them because "money is thicker than blood" Rosco has been defeated of his pension. And after 20 years as an honest lawman. He turns sides and teams up with Boss to get a cut of the shine profits. Since Rosco is alot smarter in the Georgia episodes than later seasons. He decides to place surveillance on Bo and Luke. And since he knows the boys aren't going to lead him directly to the still site. He has Boss place a friendly call to one of Jesse's buyers to set up a deal and sell him shine at a lower rate than Jesse. Knowing that the buyer is gonna contact Jesse to let him know Boss is wanting to sell him shine. But it's a trick, to lure Bo and Luke out with shine in hand. So the next morning Rosco places a call to the federal revenue agents to make it a federal case and Rosco and the revenuers follows Jesse's buyer and then it happens. They surround Bo and Luke who are transporting shine and taking them in to custody.

Both of those are good aswell, I just wasn't trying to make a super long list haha

I'll start this post with the better picture of 'Victor's Bail Bonds' that I promised a while back. This is building #6. I think someone came through this door in one episode even though there is nothing behind the façade (some buildings like the bank and post office have interiors that can be used for filming - this one doesn't). This shot shows what is beyond the alley between buildings 12 and 13 (Bo is being chased by Hughie in 'Arrest Jesse Duke'). Car chases often appear/disappear here, but we don't get a clear look like this very often. Another unusual angle in the same alley here, this time looking out towards the church. I have inset the sign for the 'Hotchkiss Funeral Home' which is on the door just off the left of this shot. The wall on the left is the side of the hotel. Even though season 2 started out with a 'Hotel' sign on the front of this building, it was missing a couple of episodes later, only to reappear again in the next episode. When Bo, Luke and Daisy go to investigate who's behind 'Dixie Auto Supply Inc.' they enter the County Building through this side door. This is actually the spot marked #31 on the map, the same building that served as the door to the Impound Garage in 'The Ghost of General Lee' (see above) - they just did a good job re-dressing it.

Everything's back to normal for 'Route 7-11'. Sorry about the blurry nature of the first shot, it's the best I could get. Jesse and Daisy (Yancy Peckinpaugh and Betty-Lou) are walking past building #12. It's hard to read the signage, but I think it says 'Dry Goods'. We also get our first look at some other buildings around the square. Building #15 makes it's debut as 'Hotel Metropole'. This end of the square has been re-developed since Dukes, and the original building #16 has now been replaced by a taller, longer structure that virtually closes off this corner of the square. Here's Rosco spying from the old building (it appears in the background in many other episodes, but I'm not sure if it's used again). Most of the scenes with the semi truck at the square were filmed behind building 16. The area is still a car park, but has changed somewhat over the years. This picture is looking back at the square and shows the loading bay at the back of the church that I labelled #17 on the map. I'll return to this in the future. On the right of this picture is another look at building #15 from a different angle. The building to the left of the church is #19, but I don't think the one between that and the truck ever gets used (hence I didn't number it, although it's still there today).

Daisy laughed "if i start not having a figure, please tell me"

Julie Says "Hey, I never been here before, and this place is bigger than the Hazzard County Jail now. No way, I don't want the guided tour either." Cue Anybody

This has been my best day all week but it has been my wife's worst. If she follows my path, she has 2 more tough days ahead of her. Beautiful weather we're having. We're so bummed out we had to cancel our big Halloween party.
