I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
beneath the flashing, neon lights
And I'll try to get through
one more lonely night

People keep on a-movin'
just fillin' up the space
All I keep on a-see'in
is the memory of your face

I just wanna hold you
and listen deep within
Listen to the music
that'll let me live again

Let me hear the music
that keeps my world in time
Let me hear the music
and let me hear the rhyme

Solid episode. Dennis Weaver is excellent in his part, and the song at the end is surprisingly very good (can't remember the others right now). I like the scene with Magnum and Lacy Fletcher under that awesome tree, and with the mountains in the background.

Wish I could say more but it's been awhile since I've seen this episode.

Yeah, I've always really liked Dennis Weaver. Love McCloud, but I havn't seen an episode in ages. It never seems to air anymore.

The other songs heard in this episode are "Cheatin' Kisses" (also written and performed by Dennis Weaver) and "Last Word Woman" (heard at the beginning in the Wheeling, WV scene) written by MPI producer Rueben Leder (music) and MPI writer Jay Huguely (lyrics). All the songs are really quite good.

That tree was beautiful wasn't it. And huge! I'd love to find out where it is. It appeared to be in a park of some sort.

Hi James..

That tree was beautiful wasn't it. And huge! I'd love to find out where it is. It appeared to be in a park of some sort.

Some years back I read that those scenes were shot in Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens which is just south of Kaneohe.

Since writing everything below I see Sam's comment above, so I'll respond to that first.

Hearing that this scene was shot in Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens would have helped my search! Instead I had a devil of a time finding the location from looking at the mountains, buildings and trees were seen in the show. But according to what I've found it's not actually located in the Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens, but about 2000 feet to the north. I just had the thought though that it may have been part of the HBG in 1984 or early 85 when the show was shot.

Following is what I already had written and put together...
-----------------------------------------

I decided to see if I could find the location of the tree with the help of google earth. This was a tough one and tested my GE skills but after some aggravation I did find the location. It's just southeast of Windward Community College. Click here for the location of the tree.

So here's the tree in question.

The bad news is that I can't be 100% sure that the tree in goggle earth is the tree from the show, but I'm pretty sure it is. The surrounding area has gone through some changes as you can see in the picture below, which made my task harder. But the building in the lower left and a small number of other things makes me sure this is the right location (or just a small number of feet off). Looking in google earth with terrain on you can even see that the mountains are correct. My scriblings in the picture are a bit crude but I think they still help.

Wow rubber chicken, that's an amazing find right there! How on (google) earth did you find it without a place to start?? Did you just start randomly scrolling over the east coast of Oahu until you found a building and a tree that looked somewhat similar to what was seen in the episode? Unbelievably cool, man! Shocked

Anybody know what kind of tree that is?

I know what kind of tree it is. It's a banyan tree and they grow in abundance in the islands. I even have a picture of me in front of one. If I could figure out how to post a picture on here I would!

I say Magnum "Nice job" what are you,some kinda private DETECTIVE.lol

Everything seems to fit.The only thing that I question is the location of your top right photo,the one of Magnum.I'll have to watch the episode to see the sequence.The building you have labeled "changed or new building" from the angle of Magnum in relation to the building,to me would suggest that building is in the direction of the ocean.But clearly shows mountains.

I tried the Google Earth but I can't tell..

I found some photos of the campus but the photos don't really show a good angle.There is one that might help however the photo is disabled or my computer doesn't show it...It is a circle that should have a panoramic view,see if it works for you..
