They filmed the Waltons up in Cuddy Valley, north of Frazier Park, California. I have met them all on more than one occasion. They were all really nice people. We used to get off the school bus in downtown Frazier, and Will Gear, Grandpa Walton, would be hangin out in his bus. We would sit in his bus and shoot the breeze with him sometimes. He was an exceptionally nice guy.
That's where they used to film a lot of Bonanza also. I met Hoss and little Joe there. They used to take over the town bar and it got wild an wooley, to say the least! Back then I was pretty young. My buddies and I would hang around the bar and watch them get drunk. It was better than the TV show! It got really good when some of the stunt guys were with them. That's when they would get 86ed.
