Since the podcast began back in 2008, we’ve dedicated two previous episodes to Myers Lake/Franklin Canyon in Los Angeles but we haven’t discussed it since 2011, so let’s revisit.
Franklin Canyon is the one place that remains where fans of The Andy Griffith Show can go and walk in the footsteps of Andy and Opie. If you’re ever in the Los Angeles area, you do not want to miss your chance to visit the location that opened every episode of The Andy Griffith Show.
Andy and Opie walked along, Opie picked up a rock and then he threw it into the lake. Who can forget that and if you visit the location, you’ll never forget that either.
In the episode we talk not only about Myers Lake but also a little about two “Mayberry” related commercials I recently ran across. If you pay attention….Mayberry just seems to pop up no mater what you’re doing.
