I was just a child, then interesting history about a show Thank you. I don’t usually comment I’m more to talking to people in real life. I just skeptical of media but thank you for your program.
I’m so HONORED to have been alive during the times of the best show EVER on television!!! Long live the Dukes!!! What a wonderful time to have been alive!! So sorry to all those who missed it!!!!
The Owner of the barn was such a great guy to let you film and go over pictures with you. Us fans thank him, so much because we can't get out to see things. Truly GREAT!
Man, shout out to all of the friendly people that keep all of the shows histories alive. And especially the “Duke Farm” property owner!! That was awesome!!
@@ChunkeyMonkey40 Bro, the nails from the Duke farm and the Mulberry bridge jump!! I’m jealous!! I do have a friend with a cherry General (replica of course) and he has let me drive it and I’ve ridden shotgun a bunch. Keep up the good work, love the content!!
As a covington girl born and bred, we happily welcome you anytime back to hazard County. I had no idea these gems existed in my hometown, you've opened my eyes to a beautiful history I never knew my city had. Growing up you hear it jokingly amongst locals called the Hollywood of the south but honestly the new tourist stuff feels kind of weird to us. Like to literally have tourists riding all through the square and town on huge golf carts to tour the vampire houses is wild. It's definitely being city-fied. As for us, we still live in the rural area on the south end of covington, there is so much history out this way too. We're glad to have you back anytime!!
I'm glad I was able to open your eyes to some of the history of your town. I'm sure it is very weird having everyone there for the vampire diaries. But even with it being city-fied, I still think of it as one of the coolest places I've ever been. I've been there twice now and have made many life long friends down there. I will definitely be coming back, and when I do come back (hopefully soon) I plan to meet even more locals! I love that town, so much great history and even better people!
That kid in the General at the orphanage scene is Jason Lively , A.K.A Rusty Griswald in the National Lampoon movie, EUROPEAN VACATION! He also reappeared later on the Dukes in the episode "BOARS NEST BEARS" playing a basketball player. Jason's dad ,ERNIE LIVELY was in the first episode playing a character called , Dobro Doolan. He later played a security guard in an episode when the General had been impounded. He then was cast as Cooter's cousin, LONGSTREET B. DAVENPORT.
This was absolutely incredible I’ve seen a lot of these videos yours was the most detailed yet. The general lee from that jump MTV did is currently sitting in Las Vegas at the star car museum. I have pictures of this car if you want them. Also the orphan spitting flies in the back of the general lee later became rusty on the national lampoons movie
Thank you so much brother!!!! I gave it my all, I have seen a lot of them too, but nobody gets detailed about anything. They just walk up to the location, make a dumb joke and leave. I wanted to go deep, and make it something that people can watch and learn something from! And no kidding that's cool that car is still around! and wow no kidding that's cool that kid was in there!
Thank you so much for recognizing that man. That means a lot. I've been working on this video behind the scenes since Christmas. Shot it way back in July while on the road for a month during the Traveler series. I'm glad you enjoyed! And yesss those nails better never leave my family or I'm gonna haunt whoever sells them 🤣🤣🤣
Ladies and gents, there will never, ever be another era like the 70’s. What I mean by that is, the music, the cars, the tv shows, and just the times were all iconic. Long live the 70’s!!!!
I was expecting a “Five-Minute tour”. And got a well descript, narrated and documented tour. Great job man I loved it thanks, and I love your take on this, the wear and the truck. Well done Sir.
American flag is just as rebel as the confederate. Have you ever heard of the american revolution? Where England was like "you belong to us" and the 13 colonies were like "go f🇺🇸k yourself".
This is the best video about the Dukes of Hazard I've ever seen , Sir your a really good filmmaker, thanks for making it possible to see more about one of my favorite childhood television shows, keep up the awesome work, God bless
I'm 51. I so loved this information and showing so many things. Glad your respectful and got access. This show means slot to me. it was a wholesome show compared to what is available today. I own the whole series and my kids love it too now. So many great memories come flooding back. Let's keep this alive! I remember when the cars that were left from W.B. were sold off, wish I had one, even if it was just lawn art. I'm an avid mopar enthusiasts and this show shaped my childhood and future to become a mechanic and love mopars. Just a great video. Thanks for the memories. God bless
Fantastic tour of the locations of the duke's of hazzard. And a friendly and welcoming place to visit. I believe that when John Schneider sold his personal General Lee that it went for over 230000 dollars. 👍
From one Dukes of Hazzard fan to another, this is truly awesome! I live in northern British Columbia, Canada and probably will never get to Covington Georgia. I would love to get there but it's 2855 miles or 44hrs drive from my house (according to google maps). I grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard every Friday night, it was a real highlight of my week and something I always looked forward to watching. I even recorded the audio of the show and listened to it over and over again throughout the week. Anyways, I just wanted to say great job making this video and big Thank you. It brought back so many great memories. I subscribed to your video channel. Cheers.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video Mikey! And never say never, sometimes the impossible happens. If you would've told me four years ago that I'd go and see these filming locations, i would've said the same.
Man that was one of my favorite shows as a kid!!! It sucked when the original duke boys were replaced by their dollar general cousins😢……but at least we still had daisy and the cool chase secenes to watch……..thank you for bringing back memories from over 40 years ago…..damn im getting old!!!
This was the best documentary of The Dukes of Hazzard I have ever seen. It was one of my favorite shows along with Dallas. I stayed with my grandparents on the weekend and every Friday night they would take the phone off the hook and 8pm was The Duke's and 9pm Dallas. I miss those days; my grandparents are gone now. But I was blessed to have been born during that time period. Thank you so much for the video, it brought back so many memories. It was so awesome, again, thank you.
Very cool tour of the Duke Farm. We just came back from Covington and I was so disappointed that the farm was a very nice new home. This makes me feel so much better knowing that pieces of the house and still are still there. Thank you and the home owner for this part of the tour!
Dude! As a nearly 50 year old Aussie, i was brought up on this show and was just awesome to see you there at these places that I can recognise from the other side of the planet.. Awesome vid. ty
Thanks for sharing, I use to watch this show with by dad, its one of the few memories I have if him, he passed away in 1985, now I watch the show with my son, it's one of his favorites! That, and Hardcasle & McCormick
wow thats crazy that the mooshine still is still back there!! Great video D, u did so good on this. Very informative, and the truck looked great in this one too!!! Got ur stickers in the mail yesterday, keep on general lee not givin a f**k haha
Great video, I'm not sure if you realize it or not two of the most famous other than the jumps are when the show started and ended you see the guys spinning their tires onto another dirt road and Daisy thumbing a ride. Both were within less than a mile from the Dukes farm. One scene of Daisy was on Rosebud Rd. the other I mention was Skyland Dr. They actually filmed another episode when Cooter was chasing the Duke boys in a police car as a joke and rolled it. It was at the same road entrance off Skyland Dr. that leads down to water treatment facility on Big Haynes Creek. It's now Skyland Glenn Subdivision. I grew up on Skyland Dr. and we went to those spots after school after they filmed the scenes. We in elementary school so didn't know what was going on until after they had already gone. My brother was friends with the family that lived in the Dukes farmhouse.
At 52 I am so sad to watch this. The dukes of Hazzard were and still are a big part of our lives. I've been a mopar guy since I started watching the show in 1979 . Nothing screams great childhood memories like remembering talking about th general Lee jumping the local creek!! Or their bows. Or daisy's legs. I'm so sad to hear the house and farm are gone. ❤😢😢
Yes, thank you so much for this indepth video of The Dukes of Hazzard. You are definitely the way I am when digging deep for information of a subject I am into. By that I mean like at the boars nest location when you went around behind the building and found all those awesome discarded items, the old Budweiser can, red paint, and it looked like red carpet. That's the kind of things I tend to do. To go where it's less trampled on and look in the weeds and crevices. You really have a good eye of how to film and narrate your videos and it shows. Thank you again so much for this video. Blessings to you, stay safe, cheers. I like the steer horns on the front of your truck, like Boss Hoggs Cadi. 😊😊
When you do, go talk to Ron at the welcome center and tell him chunkeymonkey40 sent ya! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, have fun when you go to Covington! Lots of cool filming locations to see there
20:37 the detail on that Sparta mural.is amazing. Note the missing top of the grille on the police car. There was a police car used on in the heat of the night missing that exact part of the grille.
Thank you so much for sharing this video it brought a tear to my eye with the memory of being in that time era. Going to school waiting for Friday night to watch The dukes of Hazzard was so awesome back in the day. Where they did the first jump on November 11th 1978 just the day before that I had turned 7. My youngest boy will be turning seven in June. My children love the dukes of Hazzard I'm glad I'm able to share that with them. I'm going to share this video with them they will be excited. It was so cool seeing all those old buildings what a fun time you must have had. I hope someday that I could get down there and experience a similar adventure as you have. Again I thank you ever so much for the wonderful trip down memory lane. My eyes are literally filling up again. Thank you
Wow!! You did an amazing job with this piece of history! The time and effort you put into this is incredible and worthy of recognition. One the best “memory lane” walks I’ve seen on TH-cam.
Thank you so much! It took a lot of time but it was so worth it, this is still one of my favorite videos and I am most proud of it. Im so glad you enjoyed! You should check out the one I did on the Smokey & The Bandit Filming Locations, you'll love that one! 🔗 th-cam.com/video/NpUOGm3DCX0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FAU4YKaE6gjY3ymo
This video was incredible! As a fan of the dukes of hazzard It is very emotional for me to see all this. I hope those details are never forgotten. I hope someday can visit this locations Thanks for the video. Greetings from Argentina!
I’m sure you already know but for the fans that don’t, the crashed Richard Petty race car was actually Lee 1 that made the famous jump in the opening scene of the show, and was then reused and painted green, now restored and owned by Bubba Watson.
I was 6 when they was advertising Dukes of Hazzard. I paced the floor waiting on that first episode. I was obsessed with that show. Mainly because of the General Lee initially. Love these videos. Reminds me of a good time in my life
I recognized that first spot right off. I was in the back of a Jeep with friends who recreated the jump….sort of. Banged my head on the roll bar while hanging on for dear life. They hit that spot both directions. Loved the show. Thank you for posting.
Such a good job on this video, this is the first video I saw of yours,I was and still am a huge DOH fan. Seen every episode 2 times over. Keep up the good work ! O1 Forever
I used to do National Guard duty in Covington from 89 - 92. The guys I served with were from that area and drove me around to see the Boar's nest and other locations in the show. Covington sure has changed. I enjoyed driving to Covington for duty and really liked the guys I served with.
Hell yeah man def 1 of ur best videos. Bucket list place for me. I turn 33 next week, grew up watchin dukes of hazzard. It was on TV at 7am every day before school. I would watch it every day til my bus came at about 7:40 .
Thank you brother, I 100% agree with you, I think is probably my best video yet. I did the same, only I'd come home and watch the re-runs on CMT after school!
What an excellent video! One of the best I've seen. I watched the first episode when it aired in January of 79. I was 12 years old and have been a huge fan ever since. .
Amazing video. Many good memories came back from when I was a kid watching the Dukes every Thursday at 8 pm. In Mexico the show was called “Los Duques de Hazzard”. Best regards amigo!
Brother, you did a fantastic job with this! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My favorite show before I became a teenager and my 2nd favorite overall. Awesome job.
This was one of my favorite videos. I wish someone would have restored the Duke Farm before it got in such poor condition. They could have made their money back in tours of the house and farm.
Thank you for making this I just watched R P. C video on 10-25-23 that he made talking about the DofH. That show was a #1 family show ! To bad they can't see past the general lee. So sad !
Exactly, that flag had symbolized that the Duke boys fought the system aka Boss Hogg... it had little relevancy to the show but yet it somehow became a huge deal 35 years after the show was made
Awesome video! I was just a kid when the first episode aired, watching it on an old black and white tv because my parents were watching something else on the color tv. Great memories!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed, it took a lot for me to make this video so it really means a lot to me that you enjoyed! And yeah that was a very cool experience being able to go back there and see that! I'll cherish those nails forever! You should watch my Smokey & The Bandit Filming Locations Tour next!!!!
Hey brother, happy to see you're videos are getting even better, better production and you're creating a more mature channel. Big, "YEEEEEEEEEEE, HOOOO!" (first season SCHNEIDER yee hoo)
Thank you Raymond! I've officially took the leap of faith and made this my full-time job. I'm hoping it works out, but it's giving me so much extra time to pour into these videos and make them as good as possible! I'm glad you enjoyed, stay rebel!
Nice tour of all the sites. It was really nice of the landowner to show you the pictures and the memorabilia he has from the show. What I still think is crazy is the fact that they jumped the General Lee right on that college property so close to the buildings. Great memories I have of the show, it was always a staple of my Friday nights as a kid.
Thing wernt as difficult back then and people were more lax and easy going…….children actually delivered newspapers….if anyone remembers looking in those for jobs and cars to buy!!!
I just downloaded the entire Dukes of Hazzard boxed set and was playing "One Armed Bandits" when I found your video. Great stuff, and this was my show when I was growing up and caused my love affair with racing. I also sub to John Schneider's channel.
This was the best Dukes Of Hazzard location and history video. I'm a hour south of there and have seen a few locations but this spring I'm thinking it's time for a road trip to see more.
Thank you so much! I'm very proud of this one myself, it took a lot of time and research to put it together like this. I think it's one of my best videos
Just watched your episode on the filming locations....... wow excellent research buddy!!!!!! My nephews who are 11 and 12 love the show to this day... I need to buy you a beer!!!!
Thank you so much Zac! Subscribe and stay tuned man, I've got another one just like this in the works about the Smokey & The Bandit Filming Locations!!!!!
Loved it. I actually visited yesterday, as well as some other surrounding cities where things were filmed. Such a cool town. Will plan a return trip soon with my daughter since she’s a big Vampire Diaries fan.
My hometown & I was there for the 1st episode 1978! My dad & I were standing in front of Harpers Dime store {red building} where the General Lee comes sliding onto the square getting chased by Roscoe {TH-cam video Dukes Of Hazzard : Chase From 1st Episode}, thats actually my dad's 1972 Plymouth Fury II sitting in front of the store! I was on the opposite side of the square in 1981 when Burt Reynolds landed his plane to get beer in Cannonball Run, I was one of the folks getting out of the way as the plane starts to take off {TH-cam video Cannonball Plane}! In 1990 I was watching them film an episode of Heat of the Night sitting on the roof of my 1978 Z28 with the Ttops out & was asked if they could use my car in an episode, have watched every episode & never seen my car so probably left on the cutting room floor! Lived in Covington from 1973-1998 & had lots of fun & memories & still have lots of family that live around there ✌💖☮
such a great video, I got to meet Enos and cletus when cooters was in Gatlinburg Tennessee. you touched on sooo many spots I remember seeing gotta stop there next trip up
Hey man came to your channel after meeting you out in Conyers. I was the guy eating my lunch on the tailgate of my friends truck. Just wanted to say thanks for the tour. Hell, I live here and have not been to those places. Great meeting you too.
It was so cool meeting you that day! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully learned a thing or two about the towns! Hope to meet with you again next time I'm in the area! 🤘🏽
Thank you so much! Be sure to subscribe, within the next week or two I'll be releasing another video like this, all about the Smokey & The Bandit Filming Locations
This was so cool to see. I also watched in the heat of the night so that was cool to see too. Good job. And I was blown away by how much shit has changed inn 40 sum years. I was born in 76. I watched the dukes religiously. Had all the figures and toys. I lived that shit. Lol. New to your channel. 1st video I've watched of yours. I'm subbing. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed the video, there is a TON of videos on my channel just like this one. I did the Smokey and the Bandit Filming Locations recently, and have a ton of new Dukes of Hazzard videos coming very soon as well! Welcome to the channel, I think you'll enjoy a lot of the stuff on here!
@@ChunkeyMonkey40 yes sir I believe I will enjoy more of your videos. I love the Smokey and the bandit franchise. I appreciate the reply. Keep it tween the ditches.

Great job that was awesome 👌 .that is and was my favorite show I have every episode I think iam going to put one in the DVD 📀 player .thank you for doing that. Hey ha
Done a fantastic job of the tour,,watching the first season and seeing the house and as the show progress, you can see the changes of the house when they had the shoot out on Mary Kate's baby, and I still enjoy watching the show 👍
You did an amazing job brother. I’m from NY, huge fan, been to Cooter’s (Met the cast and all), but I’ve never been to Covington, GA to check these sights out for myself therefore I appreciate this. I’ve always wanted to go and do this.
Thank you Jason!!! I think you should try and make the trip sometime! Hazzard Homecoming is coming up May 7-8th. I'll be there as a vendor alongside a lot of stuntmen from The Dukes, and Byron Cherry. Raymond of the Northeast Ohio Dukes will be there too!
Great job on the video! Love it 🔥 so after the store in Covington..Church St in the shot..planned or not?! Cause so cool no matter which 😆 Plus that mural is phenomenal!! So realistic. Really enjoyed learning all this stuff I didn't know about the Dukes.
Watch My Documentary, "The COMPLETE Story of the 'Stand Up General Lee' Wheelstander'" Here: th-cam.com/video/pr7fUeVVYwc/w-d-xo.html
Mate, absolutely amazing, amazing detailed video. Makes me so sad thinking of those good times. Plus those photos at 30:40 wow!!!
Thank you so much man!!! I'm very glad you enjoyed!!
@@ChunkeyMonkey40that building were the General Lee jump is not a city hall it’s actually Oxford College
Nobody ever said it was city hall bud
Yeeeeehaaaw
Such a better time in history. Great show.
It sure was
YES IT WAS!!!
For sure……no tablets and social media infuence and kids actually went out side, and played……very dangerous games!!!!
IT Was a great show and still could be if cryin,petty, STUPID, LIBERAL DEMONRATS wouldn't have had it pulled off the air
I was just a child, then interesting history about a show Thank you. I don’t usually comment I’m more to talking to people in real life. I just skeptical of media but thank you for your program.
I’m so HONORED to have been alive during the times of the best show EVER on television!!! Long live the Dukes!!! What a wonderful time to have been alive!! So sorry to all those who missed it!!!!
Amen to that brother! I unfortunately wasn't alive while it was originally airing, but I grew up watching the CMT reruns. Long live hazzard nation!
The Owner of the barn was such a great guy to let you film and go over pictures with you. Us fans thank him, so much because we can't get out to see things. Truly GREAT!
Yes he was! Big shout out to Dennis for that, he's an extremely kind fella! I'm glad you enjoyed the video my friend, stay rebel!
@ChunkeyMonkey40 Thanks Dennis hope to see the barn soon!
Man, shout out to all of the friendly people that keep all of the shows histories alive. And especially the “Duke Farm” property owner!! That was awesome!!
Thank you so much! And yes, he was a very nice fella! And hes very welcoming to the Dukes fans as long as they arrive respectfully
@@ChunkeyMonkey40 Bro, the nails from the Duke farm and the Mulberry bridge jump!! I’m jealous!! I do have a friend with a cherry General (replica of course) and he has let me drive it and I’ve ridden shotgun a bunch. Keep up the good work, love the content!!
Thats super cool!!! And haha yeah i have quite a bit of stuff from all that. I also have carpet and sand from the boars nest!
In the heat of the night was also filmed in Covington Georgia

As long as they don’t come on vampire weekend. Geez!
I grew up in Covington South down Flat Shoals Rd near Henderson catfish on HWY 36
Great times. Don't forget In the Heat of the Night. It was also Sparta Miss.

Haha no kidding thats cool!
Was he the one who said he was “swattin flies” (spitting soda on the rear window)?
@SS7213 , yes and I believe it was FANTA orange soda!
This was absolutely incredible I’ve seen a lot of these videos yours was the most detailed yet. The general lee from that jump MTV did is currently sitting in Las Vegas at the star car museum. I have pictures of this car if you want them. Also the orphan spitting flies in the back of the general lee later became rusty on the national lampoons movie
Thank you so much brother!!!! I gave it my all, I have seen a lot of them too, but nobody gets detailed about anything. They just walk up to the location, make a dumb joke and leave. I wanted to go deep, and make it something that people can watch and learn something from! And no kidding that's cool that car is still around! and wow no kidding that's cool that kid was in there!
American Rebel

You just gotta love Georgia Natives. Always so friendly and welcoming.

Anytime brother!!! Thank you again for sending me the locations! I'm glad ya liked the video!
Very cool tour of the Duke Farm. We just came back from Covington and I was so disappointed that the farm was a very nice new home. This makes me feel so much better knowing that pieces of the house and still are still there. Thank you and the home owner for this part of the tour!

wow thats crazy that the mooshine still is still back there!! Great video D, u did so good on this. Very informative, and the truck looked great in this one too!!! Got ur stickers in the mail yesterday, keep on general lee not givin a f**k haha
RIGHTTT!!! I'm amazed it's still there after all this time! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!!!
Thank you dennis for you contributions to this awesome production
Dennis was such a good dude, very kind and welcoming. Similar to how Uncle Jesse would've been honestly.
Awesome Video and location info.
My wife and I are heading to Covington right now.
Have a blast! There's lots of cool stuff to see there!!!!
@@ChunkeyMonkey40 Just got back. it was pretty awesome. The Boars Nest was really a trip to see.
Great video, I'm not sure if you realize it or not two of the most famous other than the jumps are when the show started and ended you see the guys spinning their tires onto another dirt road and Daisy thumbing a ride. Both were within less than a mile from the Dukes farm. One scene of Daisy was on Rosebud Rd. the other I mention was Skyland Dr. They actually filmed another episode when Cooter was chasing the Duke boys in a police car as a joke and rolled it. It was at the same road entrance off Skyland Dr. that leads down to water treatment facility on Big Haynes Creek. It's now Skyland Glenn Subdivision. I grew up on Skyland Dr. and we went to those spots after school after they filmed the scenes. We in elementary school so didn't know what was going on until after they had already gone. My brother was friends with the family that lived in the Dukes farmhouse.
My dad bought our first VCR in 1978. He would tape the Dukes every week so we could watch it together. Great memories.
At 52 I am so sad to watch this. The dukes of Hazzard were and still are a big part of our lives. I've been a mopar guy since I started watching the show in 1979 . Nothing screams great childhood memories like remembering talking about th general Lee jumping the local creek!! Or their bows. Or daisy's legs. I'm so sad to hear the house and farm are gone. ❤😢😢
Brilliant video, love the Dukes of Hazzard, grew up with it, all these memories must stay, they don't make great shows like this no more
Thank you so much! And I agree, they sure don't make shows like this anymore!
Yes, thank you so much for this indepth video of The Dukes of Hazzard. You are definitely the way I am when digging deep for information of a subject I am into. By that I mean like at the boars nest location when you went around behind the building and found all those awesome discarded items, the old Budweiser can, red paint, and it looked like red carpet. That's the kind of things I tend to do. To go where it's less trampled on and look in the weeds and crevices.
You really have a good eye of how to film and narrate your videos and it shows. Thank you again so much for this video. Blessings to you, stay safe, cheers. I like the steer horns on the front of your truck, like Boss Hoggs Cadi. 😊😊
I dont live but about 30 min from covington, have to check it out one saturday soon. Great video
When you do, go talk to Ron at the welcome center and tell him chunkeymonkey40 sent ya! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, have fun when you go to Covington! Lots of cool filming locations to see there
20:37 the detail on that Sparta mural.is amazing. Note the missing top of the grille on the police car. There was a police car used on in the heat of the night missing that exact part of the grille.
Awesome job on the mural, depicting all of the TV shows & movies filmed in Covington
"Orange Cars Matter" and other General Lee Merchandise Available Here: www.chunkeymonkey40.com/shop/
They also fimed on a movie set
They did for every episode except for the first 5 episodes of season 1. They used locations in covington
I'm a big Dukes fan and a native Texan, but that T-shirt is incredibly insensitive and just wrong
Love it.🤘🐾🐾💚💙💚🔥
@@ryanmcdaniel5867how do you know he's not talking about President Trump? Or the General Lee. But, BLM is ok?
Thanks excellent video. I loved this show when I was a kid. I recently bought the entire series on DVD.
Thank you so much for sharing this video it brought a tear to my eye with the memory of being in that time era.
Going to school waiting for Friday night to watch The dukes of Hazzard was so awesome back in the day.
Where they did the first jump on November 11th 1978 just the day before that I had turned 7.
My youngest boy will be turning seven in June.
My children love the dukes of Hazzard
I'm glad I'm able to share that with them.
I'm going to share this video with them they will be excited.
It was so cool seeing all those old buildings what a fun time you must have had.
I hope someday that I could get down there and experience a similar adventure as you have.
Again I thank you ever so much for the wonderful trip down memory lane.
My eyes are literally filling up again.
Thank you
Wow!! You did an amazing job with this piece of history! The time and effort you put into this is incredible and worthy of recognition. One the best “memory lane” walks I’ve seen on TH-cam.
Thank you so much! It took a lot of time but it was so worth it, this is still one of my favorite videos and I am most proud of it. Im so glad you enjoyed! You should check out the one I did on the Smokey & The Bandit Filming Locations, you'll love that one! 🔗 th-cam.com/video/NpUOGm3DCX0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FAU4YKaE6gjY3ymo
In The Heat Of The Night also filmed there
I thought so
This video was incredible! As a fan of the dukes of hazzard It is very emotional for me to see all this.
I hope those details are never forgotten.
I hope someday can visit this locations
Thanks for the video.
Greetings from Argentina!
I’m sure you already know but for the fans that don’t, the crashed Richard Petty race car was actually Lee 1 that made the famous jump in the opening scene of the show, and was then reused and painted green, now restored and owned by Bubba Watson.
I was 6 when they was advertising Dukes of Hazzard. I paced the floor waiting on that first episode. I was obsessed with that show. Mainly because of the General Lee initially. Love these videos. Reminds me of a good time in my life
I recognized that first spot right off. I was in the back of a Jeep with friends who recreated the jump….sort of. Banged my head on the roll bar while hanging on for dear life. They hit that spot both directions. Loved the show. Thank you for posting.
Thats hilarious haha!!! Im glad you enjoyed the video!
My dad and I would watch every weekend. It’s interesting how times change. Now if I watch it, I think to myself how could anyone sit through this. Lol
Such a good job on this video, this is the first video I saw of yours,I was and still am a huge DOH fan. Seen every episode 2 times over. Keep up the good work !
O1 Forever
I used to do National Guard duty in Covington from 89 - 92. The guys I served with were from that area and drove me around to see the Boar's nest and other locations in the show. Covington sure has changed. I enjoyed driving to Covington for duty and really liked the guys I served with.
my ex father in law used to be the Master Sargent at the local Covington National Guard Armory from 1975 to 1998
This was great to watch thanks for taking the time to show the locations. Grew up watching the dukes great show
This may be the most inspiration and life changing videos ever .
Im so glad you enjoyed!!
Hell yeah man def 1 of ur best videos. Bucket list place for me. I turn 33 next week, grew up watchin dukes of hazzard. It was on TV at 7am every day before school. I would watch it every day til my bus came at about 7:40 .
Thank you brother, I 100% agree with you, I think is probably my best video yet. I did the same, only I'd come home and watch the re-runs on CMT after school!
What an excellent video! One of the best I've seen. I watched the first episode when it aired in January of 79. I was 12 years old and have been a huge fan ever since.
.
Thank you so much, I did my best to capture the locations in the best way possible!
Amazing video. Many good memories came back from when I was a kid watching the Dukes every Thursday at 8 pm. In Mexico the show was called “Los Duques de Hazzard”. Best regards amigo!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.
As someone who has owned driven 1969 Chargers since 1986, and grew up watching the show it is good to see that it has not been forgotten!
Brother, you did a fantastic job with this! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My favorite show before I became a teenager and my 2nd favorite overall. Awesome job.
Thank you so much Jeff, I'm super glad you enjoyed this. It's one of my favorite, and in my opinion one of my best videos yet.
This was one of my favorite videos. I wish someone would have restored the Duke
Farm before it got in such poor condition. They could have made their money back in tours of the house and farm.
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for making this I just watched R P. C video on 10-25-23 that he made talking about the DofH. That show was a #1 family show ! To bad they can't see past the general lee. So sad !
Exactly, that flag had symbolized that the Duke boys fought the system aka Boss Hogg... it had little relevancy to the show but yet it somehow became a huge deal 35 years after the show was made
Bro finished this vid today and damn well worth the watch. Love this type of content can't wait for more. Stay rebel brother!
I'm glad you enjoyed it Casey! Next up is the smokey and the bandit locations
I grew up with this show.. My very first poster was of dukes. . I watch it religiously . Good show!!! You do really good narrating..
Thank you so much my friend!!!! My first toy car was a General Lee!!!
Awesome video! I was just a kid when the first episode aired, watching it on an old black and white tv because my parents were watching something else on the color tv. Great memories!
Thank you!!! And thats awesome! Im glad this video brought back those memories for ya 🤘🏽
Outstanding job bro. Getting access to the farm was beyond epic. Those nails & old pics ... WOW !!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed, it took a lot for me to make this video so it really means a lot to me that you enjoyed! And yeah that was a very cool experience being able to go back there and see that! I'll cherish those nails forever! You should watch my Smokey & The Bandit Filming Locations Tour next!!!!
Hey brother, happy to see you're videos are getting even better, better production and you're creating a more mature channel. Big, "YEEEEEEEEEEE, HOOOO!" (first season SCHNEIDER yee hoo)
Thank you Raymond! I've officially took the leap of faith and made this my full-time job. I'm hoping it works out, but it's giving me so much extra time to pour into these videos and make them as good as possible! I'm glad you enjoyed, stay rebel!
I WAS BORN...REBEL..Named after, JAMES DEAN.
I WAS BORN ..REBEL..Named after, JAMES DEAN.
Great video. Awesome job with all that info. Dukes was my childhood. thank you!
Nice tour of all the sites. It was really nice of the landowner to show you the pictures and the memorabilia he has from the show. What I still think is crazy is the fact that they jumped the General Lee right on that college property so close to the buildings. Great memories I have of the show, it was always a staple of my Friday nights as a kid.
Thank you so much! And mannn I know right! That would be crazy as hell to be there as they jumped it so close to that building!
Brings back great memories of my childhood.
Thing wernt as difficult back then and people were more lax and easy going…….children actually delivered newspapers….if anyone remembers looking in those for jobs and cars to buy!!!
I just downloaded the entire Dukes of Hazzard boxed set and was playing "One Armed Bandits" when I found your video. Great stuff, and this was my show when I was growing up and caused my love affair with racing. I also sub to John Schneider's channel.
This was the best Dukes Of Hazzard location and history video. I'm a hour south of there and have seen a few locations but this spring I'm thinking it's time for a road trip to see more.
Thank you so much! I'm very proud of this one myself, it took a lot of time and research to put it together like this. I think it's one of my best videos
Hey, great video... Greetings from a General Lee driver from Germany!
Thank you! That's so awesome you have a general lee over there!
Ready for this one!!!! 😎
SAME!!!! I can't wait for everyone to see this!
Thank you so much for keeping Dukes of Hazzard alive!!
RHEC
Always will brother! Stay Rebel!
Very nice video.. awesome to see Uncle Jessie's still. Also photos of the farm house. Great video. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Just watched your episode on the filming locations....... wow excellent research buddy!!!!!! My nephews who are 11 and 12 love the show to this day... I need to buy you a beer!!!!
Thank you brother!! I'm glad you enjoyed, cheers 🍻
Great video bro!!! This is a GEM!!! Our country could use an Uncle Jesse right about now. Thanx for sharing this!!!
Thank you so much Zac! Subscribe and stay tuned man, I've got another one just like this in the works about the Smokey & The Bandit Filming Locations!!!!!
@@ChunkeyMonkey40 I'll check it out bro!!! And I subscribed after the 1st few mins of watching this video. 🤘🤘🤘
That was beautifully done. I'm now a fan of CHUNKY MONKEY 4O
Thank you!!!
Loved it. I actually visited yesterday, as well as some other surrounding cities where things were filmed. Such a cool town. Will plan a return trip soon with my daughter since she’s a big Vampire Diaries fan.
My hometown & I was there for the 1st episode 1978! My dad & I were standing in front of Harpers Dime store {red building} where the General Lee comes sliding onto the square getting chased by Roscoe {TH-cam video Dukes Of Hazzard : Chase From 1st Episode}, thats actually my dad's 1972 Plymouth Fury II sitting in front of the store! I was on the opposite side of the square in 1981 when Burt Reynolds landed his plane to get beer in Cannonball Run, I was one of the folks getting out of the way as the plane starts to take off {TH-cam video Cannonball Plane}! In 1990 I was watching them film an episode of Heat of the Night sitting on the roof of my 1978 Z28 with the Ttops out & was asked if they could use my car in an episode, have watched every episode & never seen my car so probably left on the cutting room floor! Lived in Covington from 1973-1998 & had lots of fun & memories & still have lots of family that live around there ✌💖☮
WOW, you make a incredible documentary of location of Hazzard! Your so lucky to find and put a feet on a real place 🙏❤
Thank you so much!!!!!!
Great vlog bud. Im a Duke fan from the UK. Its great to see all these locations 👍👍
Thank you so much for watching from so far away! I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the locations!

Hey man came to your channel after meeting you out in Conyers. I was the guy eating my lunch on the tailgate of my friends truck. Just wanted to say thanks for the tour. Hell, I live here and have not been to those places. Great meeting you too.

Great job that was awesome 👌 .that is and was my favorite show I have every episode I think iam going to put one in the DVD 📀 player .thank you for doing that. Hey ha
Thank you very much!!! Its a great show!!
Done a fantastic job of the tour,,watching the first season and seeing the house and as the show progress, you can see the changes of the house when they had the shoot out on Mary Kate's baby, and I still enjoy watching the show 👍
You did an amazing job brother. I’m from NY, huge fan, been to Cooter’s (Met the cast and all), but I’ve never been to Covington, GA to check these sights out for myself therefore I appreciate this. I’ve always wanted to go and do this.
Thank you Jason!!! I think you should try and make the trip sometime! Hazzard Homecoming is coming up May 7-8th. I'll be there as a vendor alongside a lot of stuntmen from The Dukes, and Byron Cherry. Raymond of the Northeast Ohio Dukes will be there too!
Great job on the video! Love it 🔥 so after the store in Covington..Church St in the shot..planned or not?! Cause so cool no matter which 😆 Plus that mural is phenomenal!! So realistic. Really enjoyed learning all this stuff I didn't know about the Dukes.
To ChunkyMonkey40,
That Newton Town Square was also used as Sparta Police Department on the 1988-95 series, "In the Heat of the Night."
I discuss that in the video..
And where the plane landed . For the Cannon Ball run .
Great stuff! I love all the snippets of history😊
Thank you so much!
You're welcome 😊
@@ChunkeyMonkey40 anytime!
Thank you so much for posting this. Finding that still must've been a rush. From a big Dukes fan from England.
It was a lot of fun!!! And thank you for watching my friend!!!!
