Specific things I looked for but couldn't find - the mine fields in season 1 and episodes 5'oclock charlie and Kim, also a large boulder that can be seen very clearly behind the OR building in several episodes like Bug Out and Ep1 S6 Fade out when Radar is on the chopper pad, look behind Post Op. I hiked around a few times but couldn't locate that large rock.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05541448629704860668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-10691903435625679822012-03-06T11:39:41.031-08:002012-03-06T11:39:41.031-08:00Great write up.

Neat deal.<BR/><BR/>I'm a reporter, so I interviewed Mike Farrell, Loretta Swit, and William Christopher. Interestingly, none of them had ever been back out to the site. It's of course no longer packed down dirt as it was on the series, but somewhat overgrown and rutted, although park volunteers (led by Brian Rooney) did a good job of clearing it out.<BR/><BR/>Great to see the recreated sign there, and the helipad provided a lot of flashbacks for fans. While I was standing up there looking toward the peaks where the choppers came in during the opening, I could hear the theme song playing on a boom box down the hill. That was pretty neat! <BR/><BR/>All three actors present, were much the same as they were as their characters. Mike Farrell, political and confident, William Christopher with that unmistakable voice and gently personality, and Loretta Swit, somewhat demanding but also appreciative of the fans.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully, the park can pull of the plans they have to allow people to come out and camp at the site, including showing episodes featuring outdoor shots so you can contemplate the "hallowed" ground on which you camp. <BR/><BR/>It was a fun event, but as Gene Reynolds said, it was hard to ignore "the elephant in the room"... no Alan Alda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-46773669844850594242008-02-20T08:24:00.000-08:002008-02-20T08:24:00.000-08:00Hi Ken - thanks for this.

We thought the area around the uphill curve where the flat area widens out a bit was where it was, but we weren't sure, so we hiked about another half mile past the dry creek bed and up a canyon until it started drizzling, and we turned around to head back, and discovered that the dry creek bed now had about 18 inches of water flowing through it from a flash flood coming down from the mountains.<BR/><BR/>Would have been nice to have the helicopters then to airlift us out, since we ended up having to wade through the stream and then slosh 1 1/2 miles back to the car in 45 degree weather, which of course led to flu-like symptoms a few days later. Not recommended, especially in January when your annual health insurance deductible hasn't kicked in yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-87221712842258918452008-02-05T10:46:00.000-08:002008-02-05T10:46:00.000-08:00A sweater?
