RogerDuke Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Sweet dukefan1!!Do you know how to post pictures on the HazzardNet? It would be awesome to see updated photos of some of those locations. Maybe you could attend church at the old Boar's Nest!! Quote

Meadowmufn Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 You should definitely post some DukesFest '08 pics in the gallery! Quote
TomBo Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 Is anyone else aware that they have now added a steeple to the Boars nest in GA.?Sad but true. Quote
mike77 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 I had heard there was a steeple on the Boars Nest now. I wanted to see more of GA while going to Dukesfest 08 but we didn't have enough time. Quote
TomBo Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Yea, a group I know went recently & checked locals & saw it just a few wks ago. Its progress and all but I still think it kinda sucks a lil ya know? Quote
RogerDuke Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 I was pretty sad to see how different the Boar's Nest looked when Ben Jones and Sonny Shroyer visited it on the special features on one of the series DVDs (I'm not sure which season that was, does anybody know?) Well, I guess it could be worse. Imagine how terrible it would have been if it would have been torn down to build a housing development or something like that. I'm wondering if Dukes tourists go to church services there just for the opportunity to step inside the building. Quote
dukefan1 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Posted January 8, 2009 yeah it did look alot different that was in season 6 where enos and cooter went back to the boars nest. I cant wait to see it, I wish I was rich I could buy it and turn it back into the boars nest, like it should be. Quote
dukefan1 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Posted January 8, 2009 Oh does anyone know if the barns and things are still standing at the duke farm? Quote
TomBo Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Here are a few shos froma trip I took down in 2007:John Schneider walking round the Boars Nest lot. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah the Boar's Nest was turned into a chapel but its not used for that anymore....rumor has it our favourite, tender hearted Duke boy seen above is planning on buying it and restoring it to former glory...just rumour of course...what really saddened me is the state of the Duke Farm now...its so unbelievably sad. Quote
TomBo Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 I have more I'll post later on gotta run Quote
TomBo Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah the Boar's Nest was turned into a chapel but its not used for that anymore....rumor has it our favourite, tender hearted Duke boy seen above is planning on buying it and restoring it to former glory...just rumour of course...what really saddened me is the state of the Duke Farm now...its so unbelievably sad.BoJames LOL I actually pulled the pic back & cropped the crud out of it LOL.....For those in the know you can imagine who it was!I seriously doubt he got it because the steeple was JUST added recently but from waht I have heard I wouldnt put it past him.Yes the farmhouse is barely standing, rumors floated round it too was going to be restored but that turned out to be false. It is in sad sad shape for sure! Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 It was at Dukesfest 08 we found out that its no longer a chapel and that its for sale...land developers want it apparently but they cant build there for some legal reasons...the land is protected or something....thats why John was interested in it, he was going to buy it, restore it and then...well he didnt get that far lol Quote
dukefan1 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Posted January 9, 2009 i Hope they dont tear it down. Quote
RogerDuke Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 This is probably a little tougher of a question but does anybody know if any buildings from the show in southern California are still standing? Quote
dukefan1 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Posted January 9, 2009 I know I heard that the were tearing one part down some ranch where alot of dukes was filmed to build houses I think. Quote
dukefan1 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Posted January 9, 2009 The rest of it was filmed in the backlot at warner brothers saw some pictures of the wb tour and I recognized the bank in doh and parts of the town square. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 The original buildings were just a soundstage I think John said at some point....I doubt that that buildings from California are still there but if you go to Gerogia all the buildings that the set was based on are there. Quote
