I did this hike around Thanksgiving. Absolutely loved the hike and loved the park. The MASH site definitely needs more stuff though. They cleared it up a bit and there's a shack there now, but a recreation of the MASH site would be amazing.
i would love it if they made a permanent recreated set because MASH was such a timeless show and movie and this is comeing fro a teen too thats saying something
After they finished filming, they left a good portion of the set there since it couldn't be easily transported. However the old set was destroyed in a wild fire in 1988.
Just watched the final episode on TV Land on Memorial Day. Quite fitting, even for a fictional show. Seen it many times, but it never fails to bring a tear to my eye. A salute to all those who serve and who have served.
I did the trip in early October. It was really hot, close to 100 degrees. I tried not to touch the metal of the rusty truck and jeep, you could have fried an egg on them.
I saw a few tiny lizzards and a rattle snake. These are nothing to worry about, because they are more scared of you than you of them!
Cool vid! This is a great day trip......take your time, and enjoy the beauty, and reliving M*A*S*H*. I didn't get any ticks, and didn't see/hear any rattlesnakes......thank goodness.
Dude, why didnt they leave all the camps and items intact?? Even an old, beat up helicopter would make this a MUST visit!! It would've been an exellent Tourist attraction!!! Ant yes the music makes it VERY sad cuz I TOO, LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! Im very bummed out..
@umahuma4 Thanks guys for the update... Its very sad to know that a damn fire caused so much damage to such a fanbase.... And i mean emotional damage... Im buying all the seasons one at a time just for support to this great cast... Its funny that most of my friends hate this show, like i did once... But after watching a few more shows, it becomes part of you... Like u've known every character for so long..I guess its just me...
you fools, although the joint idea does sound fun, but going by show standards both options of Brandy or the J is sacrilige. For the escence of it, drink GIN, and i hate gin, but would do it, plus pour a little on the ground in memory to all of those that made my childhood w/ this wonderful show. 100% truth, not even a single day goes by that I don't watch at least 3 or 4 episodes. have the whole collection and listen to cetain DVDs every night as I go to bed. Even married a Mashaholic like me
The day I graduate I'm driving across the country (I reside in FL) just to hike that trail. My friends will probably think I'm crazy... they probably right. :3
Very well done, I'm 39 years old and I have been watching it from the start. They just don't make shows like that one any longer. I even watch the Show call After Mash, but that didn't do as well as the first one.
I've been to this site and it's quite a hike! Very difficult to get a good feel for what was where unless you've really done your homework. Nature sure has taken it back! Well worth the effort for any true M*A*S*H fan!
I talked to a guy who said to me if you visit the visiter center there are a few props from the show Jeep, Ambulance and other stuff so if anyone goes there go and look at what the center has from the show and maybe take lots and lots of pictures.
Thanks for posting this! I had NO idea you could hike to the M*A*S*H set or that it was in a state park or the like. I will do that next time I am out visiting my brother in CA.
{Con't} I'm only asking all this because there's not much of a chance of me getting there myself lol.. M*A*S*H was, and still is, the best show ever! Thanks for the video!...
was the fire you speak of the same fire that restricted the filming of the series finale back in Feb. of 1983? I would assume most things would still be there a year after, when you took your first hike... Are there any signs of labeling or lisence plates on the jeep/ other vehicles? Were there/are there any other remnants of the filming/show lying/scattered around?
Chances are good that you won't see a snake. But if you keep your eyes open, you have nothing to worry about if you stay on the trail. Mostly the trail is quite wide and easily seen.
Since you're a M*A*S*H fan I'd like to invite you to a yahoo group called 4077th. We do a M*A*S*H quote every day and a trivia question once a week. Come join us!
@TheUnderking In winter, or anytime it's even a little chilly, snakes can barely move, so they do not venture out. If it's below about 50 degrees you will never see a snake, and if you do, it will be VERY slow and docile.
Dear hotlips4life, yep, it was lovely; drama, great lines and characters ya cared about. Where's it all gone? Shot to hell with Frank's Field Mouse promotion.
Dear crowbarred, it was a very comfortable show, with great Groucho Marx style lines. What a theme! A TV show better than the movie...I miss few things from my teenage years, but MASH is one of them.
...@1:01 be careful Five O'clock Charlie is STILL trying to bomb those crazy meatball surgeons!...
