Was there in ’06. Nice museum in the area too. One of the reasons the lake seems smaller is they reduced the water level years ago to minimize the chance of flooding the canyon below.

Finally made it there! I had a brief opportunity while on a business trip, and so I headed up there (thanks to Allan’s excellent directions and inspired by his photos). While there was a lot of activity due to the filming of some picture (I didn’t see Andy anywhere), they let me drive around the lake. They didn’t, however, let me get out of the car. So, I guess I’m going to have to try again someday. All of that being said, I did see things that were familiar, and I had a great time. Thanks, Allan, for the directions and the inspiration.

Gosh, I didn’t have that experience either. I went on a Sunday with my girlfriend, and it was hardly busy at all. We walked around the lake and had a picnic and it was delightful. This was a few years ago, but I’ll have to go back and see.

Wow. That wasn’t my experience at all when I’ve gone to Franklin Canyon. I wonder if the crowd being there was related to it being a holiday when you went there?

After several years of wanting to see “Myers Lake,” I finally went down there today. Being about 90 miles from my house, and being a HUGE TAGS fan, not sure why it took me so long to get down there. I must say, I was very disappointed!!! The place was PACKED with people…none of which seemed to speak English. I realize the show was 40+ years ago but there really was not anything remotely recognizable. I “think” or “guess” we found the path where the opening footage was filmed…but I am not sure. There were about 30 Mexican people seemingly camped out there. I suppose the most interesting thing for me was the fact that the lake is so small!!! Not what I would imagine from the show. But I guess that is how everything is in Hollywood. Being the avid fan I am, I am glad I went there to at least say I have been there. Oh how I wish the “40 acres” were still around to peruse!!! My tip for anyone planning to go is to take a English/Spanish dictionary just in case!!!

You asked about Myers Lake in other TV episodes. Check Ozzie and Harriet TV episode entitled “The Motorcycle”. Ozzie and Dave are fishing at Myers Lake.

Thanks for this podcast, Allan! The pics, links and video are incredible! My goal is to visit there someday soon. I would rather drive cross-country as opposed to flying, just so I could carry whatever I wanted with me. The pics were emotional for me, in that they made me want to visit what’s left of TAGS in Ca.

Thanks again!!!

Allan: This was so enjoyable. I would love to see Myer’s Lake. It must be close to heaven for a TAGS fan! Thanks for all you do. I know you enjoy it but you are so dedicated. I have a blog for my wife’s business that I try to maintain but it’s difficult. How you do it all…I don’t know! Thanks again, Bob
