  1. Well I found an entrance off to the side and hiked over a few mountains to get some pictures. To be honest I really need to do more research and look at the maps more to figure out where I need to walk to get some good pictures of the filming locations. I took pictures of how it looks now as well as the entrances. On the map it shows an intersection of Old Rd & Lyons ranch Rd. but in fact there is no Lyons ranch Rd. It was crazy I was hiking up the mountain to see the other side when I saw some people standing on the hill top above me. Scared the crap out of me but it was just 8-10 kids playing an airsoft game. I didn't get to hike back as far as I wanted too or visit the other locations because we were in LA for family stuff, but I am planning on making another trip in the near future and hiking back farther up in Valencia oaks as well as visiting the other locations. When I get home from work this evening I will post all the pictures I took of Valencia oaks.
  2. Well guys... I'm here at Valencia Oaks/Lyons ranch right now!!! I'm having a heck of a time trying to find an entrance. My post above I got info to enter under the billboard but the section under the billboard is completely fenced off with no openings. Everything is very overgrown and I can only make out a few dirt fire roads in the distance. I brought my camera and am taking lots of pictures.
  3. Hey guys, Hope everyone has been doing well. I am still planning on making this trip, just trying to work it around my work schedule. I was looking and planning all this stuff in Feb. and then in March I started a new job working 50-60 hours sometimes 6 days a week and haven't had a chance to get out there. I will try and go soon and take lots of pictures. Also on another forum a member said to go to this location: "24989-25047 The Old Rd Stevenson Ranch, CA 91381, USA Put that into google maps and will bring you to the most used section of Hazzard in the whole series. Enter under the billboard and investigate away.†Anyone know what ranch this is?
  4. Hey guys, Just wanted to give you an update that I am still planning on making this trip just haven't been able too yet. The plan is to go in about 3 or 4 weeks. I have been collecting pictures and addresses and am bringing my digital camera, I will take a ton of pictures and link my photo bucket on here that way everyone can see them. So far I have: Warner Brothers Studio- Laramie Street, Midwest Street, and Stage 20, 28, and 28A Styx Jump- Del Valle CA 91384 Paramount Ranch- 2813 Cornell Road Augora CA Glenn Oaks- 19802 Placerita Canyon Road Newhall CA Melody Ranch- 24715 Oakcreek Ave Newhall CA Valencia Oaks- Intersection old rd & lyons ranch 91381 Valencia oaks is the one I am most interested in because it seems that's where all the General Lee's were until Wayne did the deal in 1991 to purchase them. Also I've got some good maps that outline where everything was from this site.
  5. Yes I am, only problem is that the tour is offered Monday-Friday,not on the weekends. I was planning on going down there Friday-Sunday and getting a hotel for two nights, but if I do I'm going to have to get there Friday morning to do the tour. Still working out exact details of when were going. I'll be sure to bring my digital camera and take some photos.
  6. This may be a little off topic but does anyone know about the big fires in this area I keep hearing about? Reason I'm asking is because I'll go check this little thing out but want to make sure it's still there and didn't get burned up in the fires.
  7. Sure it would be neat to check that out. If i read it correctly this strange object is at the intersection of East Potrero Road & Carlisle Road?
  8. Hi My name is Nick. I've been into Dukes of Hazzard since I was about 8 years old which was 1997. My dad and I have also been into Dodge Charger's. We've had four of them: 1968 H code 383 black/black 1968 H code 383 red/black 1968 R/T 440 QQ1 tourquoise 1969 R/T SE 440 we built into a General Lee in 05/06 1969 Dodge Superbee 383 4 speed- not a charger but still a fun car After watching Barrett Jackson on Saturday and watching Lee 1 go through the auction it kind of sparked my interest in Dukes of Hazzard again, although I've always been interested. I spent many hours on this site last night looking at the excellent thread by Hoss about all the filming locations. I live about three hours away from the filming locations and am planning on going down there for a weekend to check them out. Here is a picture of the General and the black/black 68. Regrettably, all the above cars are sold except for the black 68 which I still have.
  9. Thank you very much, I enjoyed reading your post about the CA filming locations and hope to go visit them sometime in the next couple weeks.

  10. Hi, I've been a Dukes fan since about age 8, and built a General Lee in 05 but sold it in 07 to start my next project. I'm going to be going to LA soon and want to do some Dukes investigating. I've been looking at filming locations and read the awesome 22 page thread by Hoss for some of the locations. So far I have the location for the lyons ranch (same as valencia ranch??) golden oak ranch in Newhall Styx river jump location - http://www.flickr.com/photos/rfryer10/3116845397/ map on right side Paramount ranch in Agoura Are there any that I am missing? Are any of these available for people to drive into and see? I think i read somewhere that the props and everything for the show were torn down in the early 1990's, not sure though. by the way here is a pic of my general and the black '68 I still have.
