Moonduke, thanks for the informative post. It's nice to get an insider's perspective. Man, it'd be awesome to work on this movie in any capacity. Have they wrapped up down there by the interstate? Are there going to be any more scenes filmed in the Baton ROuge area....I just HAVE to get a picture of those General Lee's that I missed getting on saturday. Anyway, any info would be appreciated, but I understand if you can't divulge stuff like that. Thanks, and be safe with those badass stunts

Hey loyal hazzard folk. I've had one of the coolest experiences of my life today. I've lived here in Baton Rouge for all of my 25 years and like you grew up on the Dukes. Anyway, to my duke sighting. I was driving my girlfriend to the airport today on I-110 south which runs through much of downtown Baton ROuge and such, when We came upon bumper to bumper traffic...this was disconcerting a t first, since I didn't want my girlfiriend to miss her plane to see her folks for the holidays.. When we came upon the problem, it turned out to be a whole slew of people on the interstate , and the cops had shut down a mile long stretch of interstate for no apparent reason...any ay we we re-routed to a sidestreet where we could get back on the interstate at some point. While exiting the interstate we saw a semi truck with some ramps on it and on the ramps...........none other than the gereral lee.!!!!!! I was awestruck...it was like a childhood dream come true. Anyway, in the general lee, they had some dummies in the back...it looked like two women, one of them obviously daisy, and a dummy in the passenger seat. It looked to me like they were going to jump the car onto or over the interstate, which is just badass. Anyway, I had to go to the airport, and On the way back, I exited near choctaw and scenic highway, to see if I could catch some action. Anywone familiar with Baton ROuge knows where McKinley middle school is. Anyway, about a block south of there is where I found the film crew working under the interstate. To my utter amazement, no one was really keeping a tight watch on anything over there, so I parked my truck and got out. There were about 6 general lee's, all of them lableled for different purposes on the widshield. One had "post-stunt" written on it, and as for the others, I was too awestruick to notice any other details. One of the cars even had some sort of canopy on the TOP that looked like you could drive the car from the roof....odd, but I'm, sure it has it's purpose. Also, under the overpass were about 7 cop cars...new style cop cars, like crown victorias...ans all the cars had georgia plates on them.. Anyway, I got a good peek at all the cars and whatnot and even taked with one of the crew. I asked him if he was involved in the movie, since he had a pass around his neck and he said yeah but he wasn't the type of crew that gets to be near the action. Anyway, I said to him, " man this is a dream come true" and he understood where I was coming from since he said he grew up on the Dukes too. I'm sorry if my post is erratic...it's just hard to disitill such a monumental occurence into a few paragraphs. I hope they're filming timorrow, Sunday Dec. 19. I'm gonna take my older brother out there, another childhood duke devotee, and see if we can take some pictures with his digital camera, I'm ashamed I didn''t have one with me today...I'm gonna try and make it up to you guys though and see if I can't get some pics....anyway, 10-4 over an' out
