This is a behind the scenes photo of the 2 car jump in the Hazzardgate Tape. This was taken to the left of the impound yard,infront of the Capitol City Junkyard.

Being early on in season 5,the ranch was still being developed,and as you can see from the aerial photo from 1980 it was a barren lot.

Here's a shot of Ted Barbara jumping the roadrunner in "The New Dukes". Apparently the run up was very short and he needed nitrous oxide. Ted would have used the area in the first picture as his run up.
These are all photos that I've found on the web. If someone could post or email me a few screencaps of the Impound Yard and Duke Farm it would be much appreciated. My email address is conalldoherty06@gmail.com
Finally I'd like to thank Hoss for providing me with an edited version of the labelled map.

Hopefully this new map will be clearer and easier to understand

In this next post I'm going to concentrate on the Hazzard County Impoud Yard/Tom Sarmento's shop. It's labeled as "2" on the map.
This first picture is a behind the scenes picture,taken at the gate of the lot.

Although the barn isn't included in this shot you can see the shadow of it in the right corner.
This next shot is taken from the newspaper article about the 1991 deal. I'm sorry for the poor quality,but it's the best version I could find.

This next picture is one I found on CGLFC. It was posted by a member who goes by the name of Corndog. Perhaps he is on HNet as well?

The Lee on the right is the "Soundstage Lee" and the Lee on the left is the "Billboard Lee". This is one of the last photos of the ranch that I could find before it fell into disrepair.
This picture is one I found on the Smith Brothers Restoration site. On the left is the late Rich Sephton, and on the right is Tom Sarmento.

Behind the hill in the background is the I-5 and to the right is where the Duke Farm (1) once stood.

Wow Roger are you sure you're ok?

Awesome Brian now I'll have HNet wherever I go
Thanks so much to Brian,Mufn, and MaryAnne

Welcome to HazzardNet Ed.Y'all may notice we do things different here!!
I have to agree with you as well.I'm only 16 and I much prefer movies,music and tv shows from the 70s and 80s.

Hey y'all!
A while back on the Hazzard Square thread I suggested that someone make a thread on the ranches used in Dukes.
So I took it upon myself to try and unravel the mystery that is Valencia Oaks Movie Ranch.
Hoss kindly supplied me with an aerial photo of the ranch from 1980,so sit back,grab a buttermilk or jug of shine and enjoy!!
Here's a link to the history of the ranch http://www.elsmerecanyon.com/lyoncanyon/lyon.htm#sites
This is the initial version of the photo that Hoss sent me. As you can see there's a faint outline of the road network
Here's a comparison between 1980 and 2005
Now technically I could do a Travis Bell and say that this next picture is my own work,but I got this picture from richardcummins.com
Here's the poorly labeled version of the map Hoss sent me. I'll elaborate on this in the future,but this is the basic version of the map

Hey y'all
I was working on my General Lee bike earlier,and my mom came out and said "I think your a little obsessed with the Dukes of Hazzard".
I thought about that statement,and realized that I'm fairly obsessed. I've got all seven seasons,the 2 reunion DVD's,some of the episodes on video,some recorded from years ago when it was on over here,I had a General Lee bike which was stolen and replaced,I'm in the process of making a Rosco bike,my bedroom is orange and covered in Dukes posters and pictures.Sorrell Booke inspired me to become an actor (I'll never be as good as him, that's impossible) and I'd love to be a stuntman thanks to Paul Baxley...the list goes on and on.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd probably be a 9.
So my question to you is How Big is Your Dukes Obsession?

Great work Hoss! The ranches are generally harder to work on, but I'm quite good at geography so I probably find it a little easier than other people.
I went into the housing development next to the ranch on google street view earlier, hoping to find a break in the houses that would allow me to see the ranch from a different angle. It didn't work, but I did find something a little more significant. As most of y'all know the ranch was sold to a property developer a few years ago, with the hopes of building a large upscale housing development. Well the ranch is for sale again. I spent hours trying to find any information I could on the ranch, like who was selling it and how much were they hoping to get for it etc. Luckily google updated their Valencia street view, and I found this sign outside the ranch.

I googled the name, and it turns out she's selling a 20 acre section of the ranch for $150,000. The section is just north of Tom Sarmeto's garage area.
Hopefully if my singing career works out I can buy the ranch and bring it back to it's Dukes glory days!! Haha

Here's a couple of shots of the Duke Farm post Dukes.
I'd just like to thank BrianColtrane for providing me with the screencaps
This first shot is of the Duke Barn. It was taken from the corner of the farmhouse

As you can see the doors are shut (as far as I know this only happened once during the series,in the episode Limo 1),and the hay bales present in every episode are gone,as is the white fence that separated the hay bales from the farmyard. This is purely speculation,but I believe the fence and hay bales are missing because the bad guys truck needed to circle the whole house.
This next shot might bring a tear to your eye (it did to mine anyway). Imagine what poor Jesse would say if he found out his house was set on fire by Universal Studios!!

Here's a shot taken moments previously,which shows the farmhouse wearing a light yellow coat of paint

Any eagle eyed fans will notice that the wall seen just inside the door during Dukes is gone,and we can see right through to the other side of the house.
This shot leads me to believe that the farmhouse was also used for some interior shots during Dukes

You've just got to imagine that the big empty space infront of Hasslehoff was once two bedrooms,and at the left side of this shot was where the closet where Boss hid in during "Ding Dong The Boss is Dead"

My favorite has to be in Cale Yardborough Comes To Hazzard. There's a scene in the Boars Nest where Bo and Luke bring Mr Garvey to talk to Cooter about repairing the turbo charger. Daisy's wearing the Daisy Dukes and a yellow tank top. I don't know why but for some reason I love that combination

I realise this picture is the equivilant of posting a picture of a dead baby but it's more proof of what Bell did to Lee 1.

I've checked with Roth to see if he didn't mind me posting pictures I've collected over the years. He's given me the go ahead so he's a few of the ones I've collected over the years.

You can get them on ebay - just search for "Hazzard Sheriff Patch".
