Re: Locations ?

SHADO and I went and took some pictures for you. It looks a bit nicer since the 1980s. Sue, thanks for the tunnel pictures! Did you honk in the tunnel :D I just discover that in two or more episodes, they exited from the opposite end of the tunnel! --- Here is a location where everyone needs to dri...

Re: The Beginning and Ending Scenes of The Pilot Episode

I wonder if those could really be the same plants after all these years. Its probably just a fun coincidence. Yes. IMHO, the following figure (google steet view) suggests that they are the same. The major cue is the 'dirt road' branch next to the plant (maybe yucca tree) in the lower right part of ...

Re: The Beginning and Ending Scenes of The Pilot Episode

one man's dream ... This is my field trip to the desert ending location. It was one hour before the sunset, so the lighting in the photos was not ideal. It's still Oct. and there was no snow over the ridges yet. If you are not in S. California, you can take a virtual tour (street view) on Google Ma...

Re: Locations ?

It's been a while since my last post. After watching the KR2008 premiere, I kind of miss some of the styles in the original Knight Rider. There were many rural scenes (on the coast, in the mountains, by a lake, in the desert ...) where Michael was driving on the road at leisure before or after a mis...
